YongQingFang(永庆坊 in Chinese) is located in the center of Guangzhou old town, Enning Road, Liwan District. It’s a successful combination of old town and modern design. The most famous attraction here is the "ancestral house of Bruce Lee".
The Enning road used to be the economic center of southern China when the port opened during the Qing Dynasty. It was called "Xiguan" in the past. After 1950s, Enning Road has experienced a huge recession and lost its prosperity. It looked desolated. Luckily, government took it important and included it to the old city renovation plans in 2017. The main street is redeveloped as the cultural street and become the popular travel spot of Guangzhou again currently. The new style restaurants, shops and creative cultural studios in this street, and the old style residential houses in that street. It's a good combination of old and new tone.
