🛍️ Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street (上下九步行街) — Guangzhou’s most famous shopping street with a dash of

Stretching over 1.2 km in the heart of Liwan District, Shangxiajiu is lined with beautifully preserved Lingnan-style architecture, neon lights, and hundreds of shops, restaurants, and street food stalls. You can shop for everything from traditional qipao and silk to trendy fashion, and snack your way through local favorites like double-skin milk pudding (双皮奶), shrimp dumplings, and roast goose. 🍮🥟🦆

The street really comes alive in the evening, when the buildings glow under warm lights and the air is filled with the scent of freshly cooked Cantonese snacks. It’s not just shopping — it’s a feast for the senses.

💡 Tips:
• Wear comfortable shoes — there’s a lot to explore.
• Try the snacks at small old-school shops instead of only big chain stores for authentic flavors.
• Combine your visit with nearby Shamian Island for a full day of sightseeing.
