7 Days Inn Guangzhou Shamian Island

7 Days Inn Guangzhou Shamian Island is a budget-friendly 2-star chain hotel from the Plateno Hotels Group, located in Liwan District near the historic Shamian Island, one of Guangzhou’s most distinctive and internationally admired neighborhoods. Shamian Island is a small sandbank on the Pearl River that served as the British and French foreign concession between 1859 and 1949, leaving a legacy of remarkable European colonial architecture including Victorian Gothic churches, tree-canopied boulevards, riverside promenades, and faded plantation-style buildings now converted into boutique hotels, cafes, and antique shops. The hotel offers clean, air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and private bathrooms. A 24-hour front desk provides basic concierge services. Huangsha Metro Station on Lines 1 and 6 is nearby, connecting guests to the entire Guangzhou metro network. The famous Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, a centuries-old commercial district in Liwan, is accessible within ten minutes on foot, alongside the Qingping Traditional Chinese Medicine Market, the Nanyue King Mausoleum Museum, and the Pearl River night cruise departure piers. Guangzhou is the home of Cantonese dim sum culture, and the Liwan District around Shamian Island contains many of the city’s most traditionally established morning tea yum cha restaurants.
