Guangzhou
История
Две тысячи лет на одном месте: царство Наньюэ под стеклом, минская башня, Тринадцать факторий и Опиумные войны, мемориалы 1911 и 1925 годов, штабы Сунь Ятсена, академия Хуанпу, мост, взорванный в 1949-м. Мемориальные точки — в серьёзном регистре, без шуток и в карточках, и в будущих рассказах.

Guangzhou Uprising Memorial Hall
This compound was the city's police headquarters until insurgents seized it during the December 1927 Guangzhou Uprising and proclaimed an urban Soviet government.

Former Site of the First National Congress of the Kuomintang
Sun Yat-sen convened the Kuomintang's transformative 1924 congress inside this clock-towered school building, formalizing cooperation with Chinese Communists and the policies of alliance with Soviet Russia and support for workers and peasants. Three years later Lu Xun lived in the same building and wrote about its old clock tower, giving the revolutionary venue an unexpected literary afterlife.

Former Soviet Consulate
Known as Shamian's Western Red Building, this consulate was swept into the violence following the failed Guangzhou Uprising in December 1927.

Huangpu Ancient Port
During the Canton System, foreign ocean-going ships were ordered to anchor at Whampoa rather than sail directly to the Thirteen Factories. Cargo was registered, inspected and transferred into smaller boats here, making this quiet inlet the outer-port counterpart to the crowded merchant enclave upriver.

Architektur
Pan Family Compound
This surviving compound was developed around 1826 by Pan Zhengwei, heir to one of the most powerful Thirteen Factories merchant families.

Museum
Liede Village History Museum
Liede changed from a water village crowded with handshake buildings into a high-rise enclave of 37 residential towers at the edge of Guangzhou's new business district. The village history museum, deliberately conceived as a repository of nostalgia, uses donated objects and reconstructed scenes to tell what was lost when fields, lanes and rental rooms became premium real estate.
Museum
Liwan Museum (Chen Lianzhong Residence)
Silk merchant and HSBC comprador Chen Lianzhong built this hybrid mansion with European arches, columns and a Chinese garden beside the old waterways. Now incorporated into Liwan Museum, it stands beside a reconstructed Xiguan mansion whose interiors explain how wealthy merchant families actually lived behind their imposing doors.
