Xiaozhou Village
小洲村
A Lingnan water village in Haizhu District, where oyster-shell houses, stone-slab bridges and riverside art studios come together in charming harmony.
Xiaozhou Village sits beside the Wanmu Orchard in Haizhu District and is one of the best-preserved Lingnan water villages in urban Guangzhou. Waterways crisscross the village, with old bridges, oyster-shell wall houses, ancestral halls and banyan trees scattered throughout. Because it is close to the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts' University Town campus, many artists have opened painting studios, workshops and shops here. Entry is free. It is best explored slowly on a weekday afternoon, and local snacks include dried carambola and dried mango. Take Metro Line 4 or Line 8 to Wanshengwei Station and transfer to a bus.
