Perché vale la deviazione
Built in 1861 as one of the concession's tightly controlled entrances, this small bridge physically marked the boundary between foreign-administered Shamian and the Chinese city. On June 23, 1925, British and French forces fired toward a huge anti-imperialist procession passing the bridge and canal, killing more than fifty people in the Shakee Massacre.
The Shamian West Bridge, built in 1861, marked the boundary between foreign concessions and the Chinese city in Guangzhou. It is a site of historical importance due to the Shakee Massacre in 1925.
Che cosa c’è nei paraggi
I luoghi raccontati più vicini, con la distanza in linea d’aria da qui.
100 m
Guangdong Victory Hotel (Former Victoria Hotel)
Vietnamese revolutionary Phạm Hồng Thái attacked a banquet here in 1924, hurling a concealed bomb at French Indochina governor-general Martial Merlin; Merlin survived, five guests died, and Phạm drowned while fleeing. The bombing became the pretext for discriminatory pass regulations on Chinese workers, triggering the victorious Shamian strike later that year.
150 m
Former HSBC Guangzhou Branch
HSBC's monumental Shamian branch stood at the center of foreign finance in treaty-port Guangzhou. Its comprador Chen Lianbo used his banking position to build wealth and influence before leading the armed Canton Merchants' Corps, whose 1924 confrontation with Sun Yat-sen's government turned the concession into a base for political intrigue.
150 m
Shamian Island
A historical area with colonial European architecture and tranquil pedestrian avenues.
300 m
Zhan Tianyou Former Residence
Railway engineer Zhan Tianyou was born and spent his childhood in a Xiguan merchant household here; his ancestors had prospered in the tea trade. The family home once looked toward Liubo Creek and its boats, a vanished waterscape far removed from the mountain railway for which Zhan later became famous.
300 m
Former Banque de l'Indochine Building
This French colonial bank, popularly called the finest building on Shamian, linked Guangzhou's finances with France's commercial empire in Indochina. An unauthorized 2007 redevelopment stripped out walls, fireplaces and imported historic fabric, creating a modern preservation scandal before the badly altered landmark was restored and reopened for cultural use.
