Updating the weather…

Dongshankou developed as Guangzhou expanded eastward in the early 20th century. Schools, churches, garden houses and new residential streets created a neighborhood with a different character from traditional Xiguan.

Political, business and cultural figures once lived in the Dongshan area. Red-brick villas, gardens, schools and narrow streets preserve traces of that period, particularly around Xinhepu.

Cafés, design shops and creative spaces now occupy many of Dongshankou's older buildings. The lasting attraction is the historic street pattern and architecture, recording Guangzhou's transition towards modern residential neighborhoods.
