Liwan lake garden

Situated at liwan district can be easily access by metro line 5 zhong shan ba 中山八 station. The park itself is not that special, just like any other parks in guangzhou, there are lake, boats and tress, i think the main attraction is on the west side of the lake where there are many store being built in old chinese style building  situated all along the canal to make you feel that you are in an old chinese town or at least at a movie scene. 


the other attraction being the xiguan residence, xiguan residence is a typical old style cantonese house where the cantonese people used to live in the past, now these kinds of houses are very rare especially in guangzhou. 



There is a taoist temple nearby, the temple's name is ran wei temple, it is not a big temple, but i like the architecture, it is kind of  classic chinese style, with a lot of gods and goddesses statues inside, you can also pray here there are many shops and incense seller right outside the temple.
