It had been a tourist attraction as well as an important port for Guangzhou's foreign trade from Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. You can read more about its history from source.
We took the metro and alight at the Huangsha Station just a short walk to the island, via an overpass crossing the busy Liu'ersan Road .
Once you exit from the Exit D from Huangsha Metro Station, look to your left and you can see an overhead pedestrian bridge. Walked towards the overhead bridge and cross over to the other side, you can see a bridge over a canal. Cross over the small bridge over the canal and Shamian Island is right there.
It is very safe over here,lots of policemen and security camera all over the place.
There are a lot of colonial buildings over here due to the short occupation by western countries during the Qing Dynasty.
It looked more like a park to me, very clean and beautiful.
