Travel Guide to Wuzhou Qilou City

Scenic spot introduction:

There are 22 existing arcade streets and 560 arcade buildings in the old city of Hedong in Wuzhou. The scale and number of these arcade buildings are rare in China, making it a veritable "Chinese Arcade Museum City".

Attractions distribution:

After Wuzhou was opened as a foreign trade port in 1897, it gradually developed into a famous commercial port in the Pearl River Basin. In order to take into account the humid, rainy, flood-prone climate characteristics of the south, the city buildings at that time mostly adopted the form of arcades. The floors facing the street could be used as shops and the upper floors could be used for living. This not only provided shade and shelter for pedestrians when going out on the street, but also expanded the building area. This continuous arcade city is also a symbol of Wuzhou's former glory and prosperity.
The arcade streets are mainly distributed on Dadong Upper Road, Dadong Lower Road, Fumin Road, Datong Road, Zhongshan Road, Zhuan Road, Wufang Road, Sha Street, Jiufang Road, Nanhuan Road, Dazhong Road, Minzhu Road, Jianshe Road, Danan Road, Xiaonan Road, Sifang Road, Guilin Road, Guibei Road, Beihuan Road and other streets. The most classic buildings in the arcade city are Wuzhou Customs Site , Former Site of Sida Hospital , Datong Hotel , New West Hostel , Da Dong Restaurant , Yuexi Building The streets with the most historical and cultural heritage are Mawang Street and Golden Dragon Lane The center of Qilou City is Qiloucheng Archway In the atrium square, there are statues of Wuzhou historical celebrities such as Zhao Guang and Mou Zi; and on the inner wall of the flood control dike from Xinxi Hotel to Longmu Temple, there is a 1.4-kilometer-long Wuzhou Historical and Cultural Corridor.
