British Concession

Our hotel, the White Swan, is built on an island in Guangzhou which was formerly the British Concession during the Opium Wars. The area is very walkable and the 19th century western buildings remind me of New Orleans.

The island is on the Pearl River.


The other side of the river lights up at night with flashing buildings, spotlight and laser shows, and lit dining boats.
