Taikoo Cang Wharf
太古仓码头
A creative riverside district converted from warehouses of a century-old British trading wharf. Its red-brick warehouses house restaurants, exhibitions and bars, and visitors can enjoy views of the Pearl River.
Taikoo Cang is located on Gexin Road in Haizhu District, along the Pearl River's rear channel. It was originally the wharf warehouse built in 1904 by the British trading house Butterfield & Swire, known in Chinese as Taikoo. Several red-brick warehouses, the wharf and cranes have been preserved and converted into a riverside creative district with restaurants, bars, exhibitions, cinemas and a wine market. Riverside promenades offer views of White Swan Lake across the water and cargo ships passing by, and the sunset from here is especially beautiful in the evening. Entry is free. Walk about 15 minutes from Baigang Avenue Station on Metro Line 8, and it faces Shamian Island across the river, reachable by boat or taxi.
