Exploring Guangzhou
Xi Guan was the neighbourhood for the rich and famous of Guangzhou two centuries ago. The Xi Guan Mansions are compared with the quadrangle courtyards of Beijing and the old alleys of Shanghai as 'memory ports' of the city. Here you may appreciate the old ways of life, shown by the delicate architectural structures. Walking into a Xi Guan heritage street gives you the feeling of taking a step back in time to another age.
