Traveler reviews

★★★★★a month agoWalked passed this Postal Expo Hall (广州邮政博览馆) while wandering along the Pearl River (珠江). The indoor museum part is actually closed to the public right now, and it just operates as a normal post office, so don't expect to spend much time inside. Still, the outside is gorgeous. It is a classic 1916 Neo-Classical building with massive Greek columns. It was originally built in 1897 and rebuilt after a fire, it used to be the main Guangdong Postal Administration. For the best photo, go directly across Yanjiang West Road (沿江西路) also gets you a clean, straight-on shot of the columns. It is a nice quick stop for photos if you appreciate historical architecture.
