Shamian Island Tour: Uncovering the Fascinating History and Stunning Architecture of Guangzhou |4K

Shamian Island is a small island located in the southwest of the city center of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. Its name, which means "sandy surface," comes from the fact that it was formed by sedimentation in the Pearl River. With an area of 0.3 square kilometers, it is bordered by the White Swan Pond to the south and the Shajichong River to the north. It has eight streets of varying sizes and has played an important role in international trade and tourism since the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.

After the Opium War, Shamian became a British and French concession in 1861. It has been an important commercial port in Guangzhou for more than a century, with over ten countries setting up consulates and nine foreign banks and more than forty foreign firms operating there. The Customs Club and Guangzhou Club were also established on the island. Shamian has witnessed the changes in Guangzhou's modern history, Today, the unique outdoor architecture of European style buildings on Shamian Island has become a "museum" showcasing the history of modern China and the concessions.

As one of Guangzhou's most popular tourist attractions, Shamian Island attracts a daily average of about 400,000 people, reaching over 600,000 during holidays and peaks of up to one million.
