SHANGXIAJIU WALKING STREET
Add: Shangxiajiu Road, Liwan District
Since Shangxiajiu road opened as the first business street of Guangzhou in
September, 1995, this pedestrian shopping street has ranked the first among others
in Guangzhou for its length of more than 1200 meters and its more than 300 shops.
In the later part of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), a man named Chen
achieved the third place in the highest imperial examination and was given
a distinguished office title which made the Family Chen well-known. Many
years later someone suggested that all the Chen's families raise money
to build a temple to pay respects to the ancestors and encourage their
offspring to study hard. Therefore, the temple was finished in 1894 with the
money donated by Chen's families in 72 counties of Guangdong Province
as well as some overseas family members.
The most impressive attractions in the temple are various superb carvings
that reflect the beauty of nature. They are made from a variety of materials
such as wood, brick, pottery, stone, and limestone.
This shopping area had developed
its own business culture "the Western
Guan Culture". It is a showcase of
traditional Cantonese architecture, and
is especially pretty at night when lit up.
All the shops here are Qilou or sotto
porticos (a building structure of South-
China's construction style), which
make the open market weatherproof.
