Shang Xia Jiu Street
· 上下九步行街
 
Although just as crowed with people and shops as Beijing Road shopping street, Shangxiajiu has a decidedly stronger traditional/historical feel than the modern Beijing Road. The shops here are housed in colonial-era Qilou (骑楼) buildings, which are a unique blend of 19th century European and Chinese architecture. The connected arcade formed by the buildings' protuding second floors protect pedestrains from the frequent rain showers. Sculptures along the street depict the lifestyle in old Guangzhou.
