Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street (上下九步行街)

The Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street (上下九步行街) is a historic street with many old-style architecture and traditional shops. Many of the famous local restaurants can be found there too. I would highly recommend this one: Liwan Mingshijia (荔湾名食家) [Google Maps] [高德地图]. It was a combination of four decent restaurants, including a dessert shop. So, make sure you go there with an empty stomach.

Chen Clan Academy (陈家祠)

The Chen Clan Academy (陈家祠) was built over 130 years ago. It was built as a local school and an examination center. The building was solemn and well structured. There were wood carvings on the roof and on every column.

Inside the academy, there was a permanent exhibit of Guangzhou folk art, such as pottery, embroidery, wood carvings, olive pit carvings, etc. The collection complements well with those in other Gunagzhou museums.

Xiguan Mansion (关西大屋)

Xiguan Mansion (关西大屋) is basically a rich family's mansion in Qing Dynasty. We got a gleams of how rich family lived during that time. The interior of the house was beautiful and we felt like we were in a movie set.
