Peek into the historic streets of Guangzhou🇨🇳

If you're visiting Guangzhou, make sure to take a walk to Xiyunyan Alley (西运盐巷), just a few steps away! This small alley was once a salt trade route during the Qing Dynasty, and now it's a super quiet, hidden heritage spot in the middle of the city. 😍

As soon as you enter, the atmosphere is completely different. The red brick walls, classic inscriptions on the walls, and well-preserved old architecture make you feel like you've stepped back in time. It's perfect for those of you who enjoy street photography or hunting for aesthetic spots without the crowds. 📸

What's even more interesting is that at the end of this alley, you'll find a stone mural depicting the history of the area, complete with carved ancient Chinese characters that are truly beautiful upon closer inspection. Plus, the shady trees on either side of the street create a very cool and peaceful atmosphere. 🌿

📍 Xiyunyan Alley, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, China
⏰ All day (come early in the morning or late afternoon for a quieter and cooler atmosphere)
🎟️ Free, just a short walk from the Dafo Temple area

So if you're exploring Guangzhou, make time to stop by! This spot is small but has historical value and an atmosphere you can't find in larger tourist attractions.
