Guangzhou Shamian Island 廣州沙面島

在廣州有一個很特別的地方，名叫沙面島。

在黃沙地鐵站，行過行人天橋就到了!

這裡曾是英、法兩國的租界，

所以保留了很多19世纪末西式古建築。

有點像到了一些電影場景, 十分有趣!

In Guangzhou, there is a very special place named Shamian island.

From Huangsha metro station walk through the pedestrian bridge to arrive here!

Here was the British and French Concession,

so there still have a lots of the late 19th century Western-style ancient buildings.

A bit like the scene of some movies, very interesting!

六月初夏，是荷花盛開的季節。一年一度的澳門荷花節又來了，

各位愛花人士和攝影發燒友，記得把握花期去賞花，拍下荷花之美態。

荷花又稱為蓮花，不僅有“君子之花”的高潔稱譽，且花大葉麗，清香遠溢，

至今更愈發受到人們的青睞。

The lotus, known in Chinese as “he hua” or “lian hua” with an ancient name “fu rong”,

will be held exhibition of lotus species, Exhibition of Lotus Photography,

Lotus Horticultural Exhibition, Lecture and Demonstration on “Homemade Lotus Flower Artworks”,

longevity vegetarian lotus lunch and Ecological walk for lotus flower appreciation etc.

Guangzhou Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street 廣州上下九步行街

6月份端午節假期, 去了廣州三天,

在深圳或珠海坐火車到廣洲真是十分之方便,

只需一個小時便可到達!

但廣州真的非常炎熱, 而且地下鐵道真是人山人海,

所以建議大家到了秋涼天才去比較合適.

首先給大家看看在上下九步行街拍的照片吧!

I went to Guangzhou for three days during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday of June.

In Shenzhen or Zhuhai to Guangzhou by train is really the easy and convenient,

just an hour to arrive there!

But Guangzhou is really very hot and really crowded in there metro,

I suggest to go there in the cool autumn days will be appropriate.

First I want to show the pictures of Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street!
