On Monday, Daniel Chen took us to Shaiman Island. Shaiman Island is in the Pearl River. It is the first place Westerners were allowed to stay in Guangzhou. Today anyone is allowed to live there, but it is expensive real estate.
Every building is in the European style. Many of the buildings are old, 100+ years. To me the buildings were boring (, so there are not any building pictures).
Shaiman Island is the one area in Guangzhou without public transportation. If you do not have a car, you must walk over one of several bridges. The bridges are not very long. The lack of public transportation, besides keeping exclusivity, also means less road noise and less pollution.
Interesting fact: Shaiman Island is where most Caucasians who adopt Chinese girls stay while they are awaiting the finalization of the adoption.
