Dongshankou & Xinhepu Mansions
东山口（新河浦洋楼群）
An old district of red-brick Western-style mansions built by overseas Chinese in the Republican era, now lined with coffee shops and select boutiques, making it Guangzhou's most stylish area for a stroll.
The Dongshankou area was developed in the Republican era as a mansion district for overseas Chinese and officials. Xinhepu, Xugu'yuan Road and Miaoqian West Street still preserve many red-brick villas. Sites worth visiting include Chunyuan (next to the Third National Congress of the CCP site), the Third National Congress of the CCP Memorial, and Jianyuan. In recent years, old mansions have been converted into coffee shops, bakeries and select boutiques, and the area is busy with young people on weekends. The district is free to enter, and the memorial is closed on Mondays. Take Metro Line 1 or Line 6 to Dongshankou Station.
