Beijing Road Pedestrian Street is located in the center of the city, it is smaller than Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, but it is the beginning of the origin of Guangzhou City. While Shangxiajiu is the equivalent of Beijing's Qianmen Dajie, Beijing Road Pedestrian Street is more like Beijing's Wangfujing Street. When you come to Guangzhou, you can also position this place as the starting point for exploring the city.
It starts from Zhongshan Road 5 in the north and ends at Huifu Road in the south, covering a distance of about 440 meters. This street, which symbolizes the commercial center of Guangzhou and runs in a north-south direction, is lined with stores and people coming and going, and seems to be forever vibrant with shopping malls such as Guangbai Department Store and Tianhe City Department Store. Businesses here have flourished since the 10th century in Guangzhou City and continue to do so today, so no matter what you want to buy, you can basically find it here.
Even if you don't have a desire to shop, it is fun to walk the stone paths and visit the ordinary alleys of the old streets. This "three dynasties ancient road" shows the green and gray bricks of the Song Dynasty, the yellow sandstone slabs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the red and yellow sandstone and hemp slabs.
In addition, the "town treasure" of the whole street is the thousand-year old road site lying quietly under the tempered glass cover. It certainly adds to the classical atmosphere and commercial center of this Beijing Road.
In addition, there is no shortage of special snacks here, including cuttlefish balls, squid, turnip brisket and beef stew, cotton candy and so on. However, it is more appropriate to eat in the Shangxiajiu pedestrian street, and there are more choices.
