Xiguan is located in Liwan District today, with Longjin Road in the north, Pearl River in the south, Renmin Road in the east and Lizhiwan in the west.
Xiguan is divided into upper Xiguan and lower Xiguan, in which the upper Xiguan is higher in terrain and the lower Xiguan is lower in terrain.
in the late Ming dynasty, eighteen houses were built and thirteen banks were opened.
Since the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Xiguan has successively built residential areas such as Baohua Street, Fengyuan Street and Duobao Street.
Xiguan was the area west of Guangzhou City at that time, which was named after it was located outside the west gate of Guangzhou City under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County in Ming and Qing Dynasties (but it was not Guangzhou City at that time). In Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the business center of Guangdong Province.
