GOELIA Concept 225

China is full of surprises and this is one of them. GOELIA Concept 225 is housed in a traditional Qilou building that was transformed in 1948 into its current form. It has five floors including a flower shop, art gallery and cafe. It is located on Beijing Lu in Guangzhou. Images are from the gallery section.

Just when you think you cannot see anything new you find something where you say WOW! Such is the case with this theme park featuring marine animals and those from polar regions.

Kengkou Village, Jiangmen

Traditional villages in China have been progressively replaced by growing cities. But remnants remain such as this one. An irony is that the villages live in nearby high rise apartments and rent out their homes in the village to workers from outside the province employed on infrastructure projects in the city.
