Collection 1
Strolling Around Guangzhou is our first project. We discover Guangzhou city by strolling around some specific areas and create the illustration based on the discovery. Daily Dear is the first collection of it.
We try to enlighten people to take notice of the general daily life that, there are many lovely moments and people around us.
Strolling Info
Area: Xiguan (西关), West of Guangzhou
Time: August, 2018
The main route is on the map below.
01
A very symbolic image of "Guangzhou Uncle" who's in an old-time fashion style; holding birdcage, wearing slippers and walking without haste. We guess that he is going to walk birds in the park.
02&03
Guangzhou people very enjoy spending their time under the old Banyan trees, especially the uncles and aunts who are retired. They like meet-up and chatting before the supper.
04
Also, they like playing Chinese chess under the old Banyan trees in their living community. Most of them are neighbors of others.
05
If you drop into the alleys in some communities, you will find the small markets hiding in those areas.
06&07
The Lychee Bay Scenic Area located in Xiguan area is a well-going place to stroll. You can enjoy the Cantonese Opera (粤剧) on the weekend, and also look around some traditional Lingnan (Southern) style buildings and gardens.
08
We highly recommend you go strolling Xiguan in an afternoon time so that you can catch the sunset in a day.
Xiguan's arcade architecture is the symbol of historical Canton, and they will shine among the sunset. We are sure that will impress you very much.
