A place full with the historic and so comforting times in here. A lot of local shops and souvenirs shops inside. The riverside much as restaurants but not too attractive for me. However, I think if you would have a place for refresh or chill, you would visit at the workdays.

This place is just about 15mins walk from Huang Sha metro station and is rich in history and culture. In fact, Yong Qing Fang is a landmark and a popular tourist attraction. It's a place where one can indulge and enjoy both tradition and modernity. Built in the 1930s, Yong Qing Fang has witnessed many historical and cultural moments in Guangzhou. Many of the then old buildings have been refurnished yet still retain their original architectural style and historic value. Many have turned into eateries, cafes or retail shops. Its a great feeling to walk around here, serene and yet bustling with visitors in the small lanes, bridges or walkways while you do feel the time has stopped for a moment. This is a great place to go to see the other aspects of the busy Guangzhou city! 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 take photos.

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, its a must see! In this area there a lots of Cantonese foods from full restaurants to street vendors, a hand grounded sesame soup dessert is a must try. Right beside the park there is one of the best vegan restaurant in town, first floor serves buffet and second floor severs Zen style a la carte. Also check out the Xi Guan museum which shows a lot of curtail and history. Check out the RenWei temple too.
