Beijing Road Pedestrian Street

Beijing Road Pedestrian Street is one of Guangzhou's most famous and historically significant commercial areas. This 440-meter long pedestrian street dates back over 2,000 years to the Qin Dynasty and has served as the commercial heart of Guangzhou since ancient times. What makes this street truly unique is the visible archaeological remains beneath transparent glass panels that allow visitors to walk over and view ancient road layers from different dynasties including Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing periods. The street perfectly combines historical preservation with modern commercial development, featuring international brand stores, traditional Chinese shops, and numerous restaurants serving authentic Cantonese cuisine. As you stroll along the street, you'll experience the fascinating contrast between ancient stone foundations and contemporary glass skyscrapers, making it a living museum of Guangzhou's commercial evolution.
