Introduction

Shamian Island has always been an important commercial port in Guangzhou. After over a century of historical accumulation, it became an important channel for domestic and foreign trade during the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. However, after the Opium War, it was designated as the British and French concession. This place is a microcosm of our modern history and concession history. European-style buildings such as the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Shamian Christ Church, customs office, British Snowy factory, HSBC Bank, etc. have unique features showcased here. The whole island is like a small European town, with many coffee shops, churches, restaurants, and bars, making it a great place for taking photos.
