Shamian Island is a former European concession area in Guangzhou, located on a sandbank island in the Pearl River. The island features tree-lined boulevards and well-preserved 19th-century European-style buildings, including former consulates, banks, and churches. It is a peaceful oasis in the bustling city, popular for photography, leisurely walks, and al fresco dining. The bronze statues scattered around the island depict life in old Guangzhou.
