Shangxiajiu was the street of Guangzhou. Once a popular gathering place among locals, it is now a somehow rundown pedestrian street with quite a lot of vacant shops. The remaining ones are cheap boutiques available elsewhere is the city. Go to nearby Beijing Road for better experience.

This is another must visit place in Guangzhou, one of the two largest shopping streets (the other being Beijing Lu) as it also offer visitors so many things to see, shop and eat. It's bustling with human crowds at all times. There are so many shops offering a wide range of merchandise and products that surely there be something to suit you and family. Besides these, there are also lots of major shopping malls, supermarkets, eateries, cafes and restaurants, makeshift stalls around to entice you! One can simply spend a full day here to shop, eat and shop again until you drop! The nearest metro station was Cultural Park and about 10-12mins walk from here. Recommended.

The Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street has many small shops, a few department stores, snack bars, fast food eateries, and more. I do most of my shopping on the side streets, where there are specialty shops, and the prices are slightly lower. At the upper end of the street, there are many eyeglass shops. I have bought many pairs of glasses there at about a 65% discount to the price I would pay in the US or Canada.

love this place i dont even go to Beijing lu anymore. closes late and you can find anything there. both cheap chinese chain stores, trendy boutiques, food, fresh coconut milk, fresh sugar cane juice, cute kids' clothing shops, traditional chinese dresses, chinese jewellery, souvenirs, cheap underwear stalls, lots of shoes (they don't have large sizes, so 38 is the largest usually, which they call 39 but its 38), underwear shops, fresh fruit, coconut jelly served in coconut shell with fruit, chinese food stalls, fast food, milk teas and more...

Shorter than Beijing Lu, but has lots of character. The area seems a bit more authentic than Bejing Lu, so it's a good visit if you prefer that mood. I walked from an area which seems very local, a wholesale market was nearby and lots of shops and restaurants too.
