Shopping Streets

Lying next to Hong Kong and Macao，Guangzhou is aware of its commercial development.The biannual Canton Fair adds to the commercial atmosphere.To tourists，Guangzhou is really a“Shoppers’Paradise”.

If a friend comes to Guangzhou from afar，Cantonese will take him/her to walk around the Shangxia Jiu Lu and Teem Plaza area.Just like the Wangfujing in Beijing.

the Town God’s Temple（Chenghuang Miao）in Shanghai and the Confucius Temple in Nanjing，Shangxia Jiu Lu is the most influential traditional commercial street in Guangzhou.

Shangxia Jiu Lu Pedestrian Street is located in the Liwan District of Xiguan，a prosperous traditional commercial district.It is the first commercial pedestrianstreet in Guangzhou.Walking into this street，you will see the featured Qi Lou，an old building style that exists in Guangzhou and its neighboring areas，on both sides of the road.It reflects the strong Lingnan Culture.On this street lie more tha 200 stores，especially those brand name restaurants and teahouses open here.From 1 p.m.to 9 p.m.on weekends and holidays and on every night，Shangxia Jiu Lu is restricted to pedestrians only.

Be sure to go to Shangxia Jiu Lu.Even if you don’t buy anything，just walking along this street you will feel the cultural atmosphere in the street with on both sides.
