The top ten tourist attractions in Guangdong Province

I know this! Last year, when my friends and I planned to travel to Guangdong, we collected information on some must-visit attractions in Guangdong. Now I will share the information about the top ten must-see attractions in Guangdong with friends who need it~

1. Shamian Island

Introduction

Shamian is Guangzhou It has been an important commercial port for hundreds of years. During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it was an important hub for domestic and foreign trade. After the Opium War, it became a British and French concession.

The epitome of my country’s modern history and concession history, the European-style buildings on the island form a unique open-air architectural “museum”.

Buildings such as Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Shamian Christ Church, Customs Building, British Ice Factory, and HSBC Bank are all unique.

The island is like a European town. Cafes, churches, restaurants and bars all have a high filming rate. It is a good choice to take pictures here.
