| Panyu has Xifang "Yuan Check-in Xifang Dayuan. Nowadays, nostalgia and retro things resonate with people. I paid attention to Panyu Xifang Dayuan last year, and finally found a day to check in this year (after all, it's too far from home).
It was formerly the Panyu District State-owned Agricultural and Sideline Products Comprehensive Processing Plant, and also the origin of Panyu's industrial economic culture. Now, the rare red brick and tile houses, Soviet-style historical buildings, and factory workshop buildings are well preserved. With the development concept of "new vitality of the old city", it has been built into a city where Guangzhou's historical and cultural heritage and contemporary urban life are integrated. People can travel back to the environment of the 1980s and 1990s in one second, so that the new generation can better understand the past of history and remember the nostalgia...

Check-in in Guangzhou, I won't allow you not to know this off-the-beaten-path attraction: Xifang Courtyard||
||. Guangzhou has Xiguan, Panyu has Xifang. Another check-in point in Guangzhou, both artistic and retro, a great place to go on weekends!!!
/
The predecessor of Xifang Courtyard was the Panyu District Local State-owned Agricultural and Sideline Products Comprehensive Processing Factory in 1958, which is the origin of Panyu's industrial economy and culture. Through the urban renewal and micro-renovation method, the single red brick and tile house with a history of more than 60 years and the Suzhou-style historical architectural community have been transformed into a cultural and creative park integrating creative office, humanities and commerce, art life, community leisure, and tourism. With the development concept of "old city, new vitality", it has become a benchmark for organic renewal of urban areas where Guangzhou's historical and cultural heritage and contemporary urban life are integrated, a new business card for humanistic art tourism in slow urban life, and a performance venue for creative fashion and trendy art life.
