Towards the southern end of Beijing Lu (Beijing Street). In the centre of Guangzhou, this is the main pedestrian street filled with shops and nearby many hundreds if not thousands of restaurants. Not having to share space with cars, it is always full of shoppers and visitors, marvelling at the lights, shops and restaurants. Red Chinese lanterns adorn the trees adding to the atmosphere. In the centre of the tree lined street under large glass panels are the remains of the partially excavated ancient city gates and roadway of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties (960 to 1912). Visitors are able to view the ancient streets, the different levels and dynasties all clearly tagged. A detailed plaque giving information on the history of the ancient finds is located at each end of the street. However, this is probably only a small part of the rich cultural finds that lie beneath the modern streets and buildings. Even earlier finds from the period of the Nanyue Kingdom (203-111 BC) are nearby.
