Guangdongwaishi Museum

I came out for a walk on the weekend and came to Shamian Island. The Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum is located on the island. No. 20 Shamian South Street. The building was built in 1890. It was the French Consulate General in Guangzhou during the Republic of China. It has now become a public welfare foreign affairs special museum. It is said to be open to the public. But I feel that I have passed by several times, and I have not seen it open the door once. Maybe I have to make an appointment in advance, only for the reservation guests.

Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum is located at No. 20 Shamian South Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou. The Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum was once the French Consulate in Guangzhou. It is a long striped beige-style European-style building with some foreign gifts on display.

Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum is located on the famous sandy street in Guangzhou, which has been the gathering place of foreign consulates since the opening of Guangzhou. The museum is composed of a group of yellow Western-style buildings, very elegant, but unfortunately closed during the Chinese New Year, did not enter the visit, can only pat its appearance outside.

This museum has a colonial style - architecture, yellow - shape is prominent

Early in the morning, the temperature in Guangzhou was 31 degrees, which should be quite hot, but it didn't feel hot when walking on the sand. The trees on both sides of the road on the sand were huge and the branches were intertwined, forming a natural umbrella, blocking the sun. The buildings in the sand are the buildings of foreign embassies such as HSBC in the early days. Several Western buildings and churches are very distinctive. After more than a hundred years of history, they stand quietly and under the shadow of green trees, especially warm. The QR code in front of each building, introduce you to its past and present life in detail, and the traces of the years make you not to be underestimated.
