Shamian Island looked like a very beautiful park filled with various and beautiful statues. I had a great time going round taking photos of the numerous statues hahaha. The statues shows the daily life on the island from the past to recent.

These three statues of women represent women in China. How the dresses changes from generation to generation. From traditional clothings covered most part of the body to cheongsum to modern dressing covering lesser part of the body.


Because of the colonial past on this island, there are many statues which shows western influence.




Traditional games played in the past as shown in these statues.





Statues showing the past where Chinese businessman doing business with a western businessman.

Vendor selling candy to kids





One statue wearing chinese traditional clothes while the other statue is that of a western lady wearing western clothes.

    Can read the history of Shamian Island. Shamian Island was temporary occupied by western forces during the Qing Dyansty.

    The statues were there to show about the colonial past link to the island. Not sure when they erected.
