Shipai Village is one of the densest urban villages in Guangzhou. Located right beside the Tech Street, it provides cheap accommodation right in the centre of the city.
Streets inside Shipai are dark – the handshake buildings have been developed to its horizontal maximum.
There are very few traditional buildings still left in Shipai, one of them is pictured below. What I found interesting is the way that green tiles were clad all around the building to renovate it, even though the building has also been marked as a protected relic.
Toilet tiled shrine (also preserved)
