Yong Qing Fang

Guangdong · China

8 story sections

A typical paragon of "micro modification" by injecting young and new vivid element into old residential neighbourhoods, blending in historical preservation and commercial culture in old Guangzhou, named and praised by Chairman Mr Xi, this site has won its reputation from home and abroad. Travellers could linger around for fun and relax, taking nice photos while strolling along old alleys, to visit Cantonese opera museum and Bruce Lee's ancestral house museum.
