Guangzhou is a vibrant and creative city with many unique and attractive cultural and creative communities. These communities not only show the unique cultural charm of Guangzhou, but also promote the development of local cultural and creative industries. If you are interested in culture, art and creative design, you may wish to visit these cultural and creative communities in Guangzhou, buy one or two souvenirs and have a pleasant day!
1. Yongqing Square
Yongqing Square is famous for its unique customs of the Republic of China. The buildings on both sides of the street retain the style of the Republic of China, and there are some cultural and artistic institutions and art spaces in the block, which hold various exhibitions, performances and cultural activities.
You can enjoy concerts, drama performances, art exhibitions and so on, and fully feel the charm of culture. Recommend a few small shops I like:
Reading secondhand bookstore is located on the first floor of No.7 Zhibao Street. This shop is small, but it is beautifully decorated. Walking in is like sitting on a time machine, as if you can find comic books you saw when you were a child and favorite star posters. There is also a lot of information about the history of Guangzhou, which is really a treasure for those who like to know about Guangzhou! And they also have some interesting cultural and creative products, and there are blind boxes to buy at the door!
what about the old warehouse again? A table in Guangzhou, located at No.7 Yongqing Street, Enning Road (near Bruce Lee's former residence). This store is a mini version of the old warehouse. On the first floor, many cultural and creative products with Lingnan elements are displayed, such as refrigerator magnets, bookmarks, maps, etc. There are many kinds, which are very suitable as small gifts for friends. And the checkout is self-help, which is super convenient! Special snacks are served on the second floor, so you can sit down and have a rest. There is also a traditional snack, Bo Zi Cake, at the entrance, which is simply delicious and can't be missed!
finally, talk about Zhong Shuge, which is located at No.227 Enning Road (next door is Xicha). The decoration style of this place is retro and gorgeous, and it feels very atmospheric. Because the first floor is an old house, the floor height is relatively low, but the ceiling is designed with a mirror, which looks more spacious, but it is a bit dazzling. But the photo effect is still good. Shops like it. The second floor has good lighting and many seats, which is very suitable for finding a corner for a cup of coffee or tea and reading slowly.
personally, I like these places very much, and each has its own characteristics. Reading old bookstores can take you back to your childhood and find what you saw as a child; The old warehouse is a treasure land, and there are so many kinds of cultural and creative goods that people can't see everything; Zhong Shuge gives people a retro feeling, comfortable and quiet, suitable for quietly enjoying the time of reading. I strongly recommend that you go to these places to experience it!
2. Jingzili Wenchuang Community
Last week, I went to the Jingzili Wenchuang Community at the west gate of Guangzhou. It was a great place! This community was originally transformed from an old factory building and is full of cultural and creative atmosphere. There are all kinds of time-honored snacks and scenic spots in old Guangzhou around. Jingzili community provides many colorful city walk routes, which can make you enjoy yourself. The most important thing is that there are many cultural and creative boutiques!
First of all, it is a place called "Uneasy Bookstore: book and fun". The name is really clever, and there are all kinds of interesting goods in it, such as strange books, lovely postcards, bags and small surroundings of fashion brand FINERWORLD. You won't get tired of wandering there for an afternoon!
In addition, there are many small stalls in the community selling all kinds of imported cultural and creative products. There are super exquisite illustrations and small stickers, as well as paper tape from Japan, which is dazzling. Moreover, there are some special postcards and decorative paintings of Guangzhou local culture, which have a special flavor of Guangzhou.
You can also collect chapters in the community, which is really a good place for people who like to collect. There are also some super-beautiful national decorative paintings, which are rare and very attractive. Jingzili community is really a place worth visiting! If you like Wenchuang and experience local customs, don't miss it. Whether you are shopping or enjoying art, here can meet your needs. I strongly recommend everyone to have a look!
In addition, there are the Redtory Factory and the Shangji Creative Park. There are few cultural and creative contents, but the buildings are very special and worth visiting!
Redtory: Located in Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou, it is one of the most famous cultural and creative communities in Guangzhou. It used to be a textile industrial park, but now it has been transformed into a creative space full of artistic atmosphere. There are many artists, designers and creative enterprises here, and there are various cultural activities such as art exhibitions, creative markets and music performances.
shangji creative park: located in the former site of shangji village in Tianhe district, Guangzhou, it is a cultural and creative community with the theme of design. There are many designers' studios, design institutions and design exhibition centers, where a large number of design talents and resources are gathered. Wenchuang Park also held various design activities and design forums, which promoted the development of the design industry.
