This is a whole area of heritage of Guangzhou, where you can see what traditional Guangzhou used be. Besides cute YongQingFang street, the Bruce Lee's family mansion was really worth visiting, also visit the Cantonese Opera museum, it's colourful and so interesting! Oh and the Li Zhi Wan Park down the street is just stunning, with a lake and water way around it, you can take a scenic boat from one end to the other of this area, in the park every afternoon from 2-5 they offer live Cantonese opera performance at the stage, that's where the locals hang out, its a must see!

Also check out the Xi Guan museum which shows a lot of curtail and history. Check out the...
Read moreThis was one of the luckiest finds on our trip. Very nicely refurbished area, good at night also. Have very chill, wholesome vibes for both youngsters and families. If you take a slow walk around the place and wander into 2-3 shops, you can easily spend 1+2 hrs. There was a popmart shop on the fringe of the area, aromatherapy shops, book and souvenirs, fancy tea concepts, fancy ice-creams, more humble local food and snacks shops,a good variety. Many cafes with ample seating even on a weekday public holiday late morning to relax and people watch for another 1+2hrs. Streets are well-paved making it easy for wheelchairs and strollers, public toilets had many cubicles and were shockingly clean when we were there. The Cantonese opera museum was in the area and a good walking route, and it opened up to a gorgeous garden. All in all a very nice and comfortable place to explore. Lots of decorations, fake flowers and murals to appeal to the IG...

Perhaps one of the most popular landmark here is the old home of the Chinese legendary martial arts expert, Bruce Lee (Li Xiao Long). Many come here to...
