a fast-paced city
However, there is such a place
that hides the slow flavor of the old Xiguan.
Rock a boat, the sound of Cantonese opera, the dream of the water town
Litchi Bay Scenic Area
Guangzhou is a famous attraction.
From ancient times, it has been praised by scholars.
"A bay of green in the spring, the two sides of the lychee red"
Bian Xiao today will take you to feel.
Litchi Bay's unique Xiguan flavor
Unique Lingnan style
From the Changshou Road subway, there is a feeling of going back to the old days. No modern concrete atmosphere, full of Xiguan flavor.
Until you turn the corner from West Jinlong Road, the view immediately opens up.
The landscaping on both sides of the river retains the style of the old buildings, but adds brightly colored flowers and plants to set the scene.
It is a place of poetic elegance hidden in the hustle and bustle of the city, with small bridges and flowing water, as if you have mistakenly entered the Jiangnan water town.
You can choose to sit quietly by the river on a sunny morning, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the river, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the city, and feeling the peaceful years~
Lai Chi Wan Stage
There is a big stage on both banks of the river, - the Lychee Bay Stage. It is said that there are Cantonese Opera performances from 14:00-17:00 every day (closed on Friday).
The big stage is built on the edge of the bay, looking from the opposite shore. The sound is pleasing to the ear and the Cantonese rhythms are melodious. When the old artists open their mouths, they seem to take us back to the old days.
Dexing Bridge
Litchi Bay is known as the "Little Qinhuai" with its small bridges and rivers. There are five bridges in Lai Chi Wan, namely, Dexing Bridge, Jinlong Bridge, Daguan Bridge, Shanzhi Bridge and Yongning Bridge, among which Jinlong Bridge and Wen Tower are "one tower and one bridge", complementing each other.
Wen Pagoda
Wen Pagoda by the river is a building from the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Next to the Wenta, there is a sky-high ancient banyan tree, which is 157 years old, guarding the thick historical heritage of Lai Chi Wan.
On the eve of the college entrance exams, many students come here to pay their respects and pray for top grades in the exams.
Siao Fang Zhai
Built in the late Qing Dynasty, the building is exquisite and elegant. The main building of the boat hall, built on the water, the shape of the plane is similar to the boat, so the name "small flower room".
The first moment you step into the doorway, you will be greeted by a strong Lingnan culture and an exquisite painting.
Liwan Lake Park
Next to Lai Chi Wan is Liwan Lake Park. The park's pavilions are hidden among the green trees.
Willows, green grass, lakes and the sky reflect each other, giving a glimpse of the true southern scenery.
Entering from Pantang Road, stroll along the river and take a boat ride in Lychee Bay in front of Wenta Square and Liang's Ancestral Hall to get a feel of the Lingnan water town.
Time seems to slow down while enjoying the lakeside scenery by boat.
The lotus blossoms in the lake are in full bloom, which reminds one of the poem "Lotus flowers are differently red than the sky, lotus flowers are differently red than the sky."
The coolness of summer, along with the blue sky and white clouds, has been rubbed into this pool.
Grandparents are everywhere in Liwan Lake Park.
Or square dancing, practicing Tai Chi, or playing shuttlecock
The park, which is otherwise quiet, comes alive and epitomizes authentic Guangzhou.
Shi Fei Rong
It is named for the banyan tree at the top of Shi Shan. Its trunk has airy roots coiled around the hill and its dancing leaves are more than 50 meters in diameter. It is a spectacular sight and has become a rare masterpiece of Lingnan Shi Mountain.
Every brick and tile here seems to hide a different story, and the slow time hides countless small wisdom. Look! That kitten is looking at you too.
