Introducing Wúzhōu

Travellers will only hit Wúzhōu on the way to somewhere else, but it is still quite charming in its own right and it’s worth an afternoon or day getting to know it.

In 1897, the British arrived at this busy trading town and set up steamer services to Guǎngzhōu, Hong Kong and later Nánníng. European architecture left over from this period still looms over crowded back lanes making for some interesting walks around town.

Recently, big money has gone into developing the riverfronts, resulting in boardwalks, plaques and public art depicting everything from historical to space-age events.
