Visit the area around Beijing Road when you come to Guangzhou, and you won't regret it!

Many friends say that Guangzhou is a cultural desert, but I disagree with this point. It is definitely a blind judgment made by those who do not understand Guangzhou. Two thousand years ago, Guangzhou had the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo, who was granted a seal by Emperor Gaozu of Han and established the Nanyue Kingdom. At the beginning of its establishment, the Nanyue Kingdom implemented the policy of 'harmonizing the Hundred Yue', introducing the Central Plains' agricultural technology and culture, while also bringing exotic and maritime cultures into Lingnan. Beijing Road in Guangzhou is an ancient street that has existed for a thousand years. The palace of the Nanyue King was located here more than two thousand years ago. Since then, Lingnan culture has flourished here. Guangzhou is definitely an old city with history, culture, economy, commerce, academia, and affinity, and Beijing Road is a witness to this old city. Here, you can see the historical changes of Guangzhou, where commercial culture, American culture, trendy elements, and Xiguan culture are basically all gathered. Must-visit attractions: 1.

The emperor also practiced alchemy here for eternal life, so it is also called Yaozhou 9. Yonghan Cinema: Built in 1927, Lu Xun often went here to watch plays. It is called Yonghan Cinema because Beijing Road was called Yonghan Road during the Republic of China (and Yongqing Street during the Qing Dynasty) 10.
