Tour Of Shamian Island - Guangzhou, China 🇨🇳

Shamian (also romanized as Shameen or Shamin, both from its Cantonese pronunciation) is a sandbank island in the Liwan District of Guangzhou, Guangdong province, China. 

The island's name literally means "sandy surface" in Chinese. The territory was divided into two concessions given to France and the United Kingdom by the Qing government in the 19th Century (1859 to 1943). The island is a gazetted historical area that serves as a tranquil reminder of the colonial European period, with quiet pedestrian avenues flanked by trees and lined by historical buildings in various states of upkeep. 

The island is the location of several hotels, a youth hostel, restaurants and tourist shops selling curios and souvenirs. The island covers an area of 0.3 km², 900 m from east to west, and 300 m from north to south. It is bordered in the south by the Pearl River, and it is separated from the mainland by a canal. In this video I am on a self guided walking tour of Shamian Island and talking about the history of the Island.

Guangzhou Autumn Adventure 2019

During my recent business trip to Guangzhou in Dec-2019, I managed to take a few moments to visit some key attractions in the city and to admire its autumn beauty.

1. Sacred Heart Cathedral.

A beautiful architecture which attracts tourists from all around the world to marvel at its magnificent splendor.

2. Temple of the Six Banyan Trees.

The nine-story Flower Pagoda is definitely a sight to behold in a serene environment hidden in the bustling city.

3. Shamian Island.

The moment you step into Shamian Island, you are transported to a little town in Europe where the locals enjoy the finer moments in life, taking time to relax in parks and cafes while admiring the scenery move slowly pass them. 

4. Guangzhou Cultural Park.

Located near to Shamian Island, visitors to the park can spend time with loved ones and family members to take lots of photos with the beautiful floral displays. 

5. Canton Tower and Huacheng Square.

A visit to Guangzhou is not complete without making a quick pit stop at Huacheng Square to visit several landmarks in the city including Canton Tower, Guangzhou Opera House, and International Finance Center.

Honorable mention goes to XIAO-MIAN (遇见小面) which is a restaurant chain serving delicious noodles and appetizers from Chongqing. I guarantee you that it will be one of the most memorable and most affordable meal that you can get in the city, with a bowl of noodles costing CNY 24 and a plate of potstickers going for only CNY 9.

Looking forward to my next adventure in Guangzhou in 2020!

Shamian Island Guangzhou, China

Shamian Island was an important port for Guangzhou’s foreign trade from the Song to the Qing Dynasty. From the 18th to the mid 19th century, the foreigners lived and did business in a row of houses known as the Thirteen Factories, near the present Shamian, which was then an anchorage for thousands of boat people. The territory was divided into two concessions given to France and the United Kingdom by the Qing Dynasty government in the 19th century. Trading companies from Britain, the United States, France, Holland, Italy, Germany, Portugal, and Japan built stone mansions along the waterfront. The construction on the island was characterized by climate-adapted but Western-plan detached houses with hipped roofs and large verandahs. The main buildings have plaques stating the year it was constructed and it’s origin.

After 1949, the mansions of Shamian became government offices or apartment houses and the churches were turned into factories. But later they were restored, in many cases to their former splendor, with each building labeled as to its former purpose. One may start to imagine the stories staged in the building while seeing the plaque writing about its previous function, like “No.7 North Shamian Avenue” (Built during the Republican period, formerly the Administration Bureau of Broadcasting of the Nationalist Government).

Since the early 2000s, Shamian Island has become well known for the many Western couples who reside there while seeking to adopt Chinese babies and young children, most of whom are orphaned and female.

Shamian Island is the home to many extraordinary trees, many of them as old as 200 or 300 years���! Most of them have a small sign attached to them telling the age of the tree… Many tropical varieties can be found such as the famous banyan trees that have populated this region of China for ages…

The island was awarded to the British and French after the Opium Wars and European style architecture abounds here and the colonial influence is evident in houses, villas, churches and tennis courts. The French Catholic Church on the main street of the island is a nice example of the European influence. There is also a lovely park just off the main street.
