Guangzhou, China: Exploring Hidden Gems, the World of Billionaires, and the Megacity

Here, a large number of unique arcade buildings ( qilou ) are preserved. These structures blend traditional Lingnan architectural styles with Western elements: the ground floors serve as shops, while upper floors are residential. The distinctive covered corridors shield pedestrians from sun and rain, forming a unique urban landscape that evokes a nostalgic journey through old Lingnan.

Shangxiajiu is not just a shopping paradise but a mecca for food lovers. It hosts numerous time-honored eateries, including century-old teahouses like Taotaoju and Lianxianglou, serving delicate Cantonese dim sum—think crystal-clear shrimp dumplings and savory siu mai. Specialty shops like Nanxin Double-Skin Milk and Baohua Noodle Shop are must-visits: Nanxin's double-skin milk is smooth and creamy, while Baohua's shrimp wonton noodles feature springy noodles and plump, bouncy shrimp. Street snacks like braised beef offal, rice noodle rolls, and sampan congee add to the mouthwatering aroma.

Beyond food, Shangxiajiu offers diverse shops, from traditional handicrafts like Cantonese embroidery and ivory carvings to trendy fashion and accessories. Visitors can buy Lingnan-style souvenirs or follow the latest trends. Folk cultural activities like Cantonese opera performances and lion dance parades often enliven the streets, immersing visitors in rich Cantonese culture.

Today, Shangxiajiu remains a beloved spot for locals and a magnet for global tourists, a must-visit destination to experience Guangzhou's history, urban life, and culinary charm.
