Fodor's Expert Review Beijing Pedestrian Road
Guangzhou
Neighborhood
Beijing Pedestrian Road offers an interesting contrast to Shangxiajiu. While Shangxiajiu is lined with new stores in old buildings, Beijing Road makes no pretense at being anything other than a fully modern, neon-draped pedestrian mall, similar to Beijing's Wangfujing Street or Shanghai's East Nanjing Road. Pedestrianized and open from around 10 am until 10 pm, this is where city teenagers buy mid-range Hong Kong-style clothes and increasingly garish local brands. Noisy and fun, the street is lined with cheap food stalls, cafés, and fast-food chains.
