My Life in China - Shamian Island

Yesterday I went to Shamian Island which is a very small island by the Pearl river in Guangzhou, it was here that the first trading companies from Europe set up their business and the colonial style of the buildings remain, unfortunately the "old street" is not very big, but what's there is beautiful!

The old building street is a very popular place to get one's wedding picture taken or to have an advertisment photo shoot.

Yes, I do look cool in my new shades.
