Shopping in Guangzhou

Tianhe City Plaza (天河城) is one of Guangzhou's premier commercial complexes, anchoring the Tianhe CBD with over 230 stores across seven floors of retail, dining, and entertainment.

Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street (上下九步行街) is a 1.2-km-long commercial strip in the Liwan District, famous for its beautifully preserved Qilou (arcade) architecture — shophouses with covered colonnades that shelter pedestrians from sun and rain.

Beijing Road Pedestrian Street (北京路步行街) is Guangzhou's premier shopping promenade and one of the oldest commercial thoroughfares in China, with archaeological excavations underfoot revealing road surfaces from the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties.

One Link Walk is an underground shopping passage connecting metro stations beneath Guangzhou's commercial core. The tunnel is lined with local fashion, electronics and snack stalls, creating a subterranean street-market atmosphere.
