The antique Shamian is a famous tourist attraction in Guangzhou, a national 5 scenic spots, and the most attractive historical building group along the West Yanjiang Road. The European-style shamian buildings are named shamian because of the sandbar alluvial by the Pearl River. The area of the island is small, only 0.3 square kilometers. As early as the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shamian was an important place for trade at home and abroad. After the war, it became a British and French concession in 1861, making it a concession independent of Guangzhou City. In 1859, Britain and France established an invasion base in Guangzhou, and British official Burke made representations to the Qing Dynasty in Guangzhou, forcing the Qing Dynasty to dig a small stream with a width of 40 meters and a length of more than 1,200 meters in the north of the sand surface by hand, separating it from the land, making the sand surface an island. At that time, the island was connected with the opposite land only by this bridge. According to the regulations of Britain and France, our ships could not dock in the river. A church with a seating capacity of about 200 people, the Goethe-style building, Notre Dame de Lude, originally belonged to the building in the French Concession, and was originally named Shamian Catholic Church. It was named after the original building of a Mount of Notre Dame in the south of the garden of the church, where the exposed statue of the Notre Dame was placed. The building with red brick structure was designed and built by Australian architect Pane. Because the main color is red, people call it the &”;Red Chamber&”;. Before liberation, the &”;Red Chamber&”; was the Guangdong Customs Club. After liberation, it was used as a dormitory for customs staff. Most of the buildings on the sand surface were built at the end of 19th century, with western style. They are basically cultural relics and full of exotic atmosphere. It is also a holy place for newlyweds to shoot wedding dresses. I often see couples of happy newlyweds recording sweet moments. Guangzhou&;s most attractive historical buildings, from Tianzi Wharf on the middle road along the Yangtze River to the 3000-meter-long Pearl River embankment along Jiangxi (Bridge), are densely distributed with numerous human landscapes; Tianzi Wharf, Haizhu Square, the former site of the Central Bank, the former site of Wuxianmen Power Plant, Aiqun Summer, and Southern Summer … Tianzi Wharf is an extraordinary pier in the East Embankment of Guangzhou. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty (1723-1735), it was designated as the official pier in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and whenever officials went to or left Guangzhou by water, they all landed here. In front of the dock, there is a pavilion for welcoming officials. It is the wharf with the longest use history in Guangzhou at present. Guangzhou was first built in the Ming Dynasty. Today, many ancient docks no longer exist, but this ancient dock more than 200 years ago still stands by the Pearl River. Wuxianmen Power Plant is the earliest power plant in Guangzhou, the so-called &”;German Power Plant&”;. On the west side of Haizhu Square, the exterior of the building is well preserved, and there are all kinds of bars. In 1900, Yingshangqi Changyang established Yueyuan Electric Company, and inv—— Wuxianmen Power Plant (also known as the General Electric Machine Factory in the early years). Aiqun Building, also known as Aiqun Hotel, was founded by Mr. Chen Zhuoping, a member of the League, with overseas Chinese capital. The building was built in early 1934, which was the tallest building in South China at that time and a typical arcade building. In order to symbolize the entrepreneurial spirit of &”;loving the public&”;, the architects in Daxia built the facade of the building.Special emphasis is placed on the artistic effect of tall and straight. It not only draws lessons from the design technique of WoolworthBuilding in new york, which created a new style of skyscraper in the United States, but also permeates Lingnan architectural style in the Gothic revival style. The earliest &”;skyscraper&”; is located in Guangzhou, which is the Xindaxin Company (South Building) outside the city along the west road along the Yangtze River. Now it is called South Building International Electronic Digital City. This tallest building, built in 1922, was 6 years earlier than the tallest building in Tianjin and 7 years earlier than the tallest building in Shanghai. In particular, there are hanging gardens and playgrounds on the roof of the building, elevators to transport guests, and spiral slopes for cars to get on and off. Postal Expo; Founded in 1897, it was destroyed by a fire in 1916. Designed by an Englishman Dan Bei in 1916, it was rebuilt on the original site. In 1938, when the Japanese invaded Guangzhou, a fire was set in the Xidi area, and the building was robbed again. The doors, windows and floors in the building were all burned down, but fortunately the whole frame did not collapse. The following year, it was designed by Yang Yongtang and restored according to its original appearance, which has been used ever since. Former site of Guangdong Customs; The European neoclassical building in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China is commonly known as the Big Bell Tower. On March 28th, 1914, the foundation stone was laid, which was planned by David C Dick, the British chief engineer of the General Taxation Department of the Customs, and designed by Arnot D &;Arnott, a British architect. It has been 100 years since it was modeled after the European classical architecture, and there is a rare and well-preserved English-style fully mechanical transmission vertical clock in the bell tower. Aiqun Summer Solstice Postal Museum, with a short range of 1000 meters, was once called the Bund in Guangzhou. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, Yanjiang Road and Changdi were the most prosperous streets, and there were many old brands of food, such as Dasanyuan and Datong Restaurant. At the end of the 20th century, this area became increasingly declining and prosperous.
