What are the architectural features of Guangzhou arcade?

The structure of Guangzhou arcade is divided into three sections: the lower section is a column with a width of about 4 meters, the middle section is a floor, and the upper section is a cornice or mountain flower; On one side of the street, there are many decorative patterns or bas-reliefs on the wall or cornice lintel under each windowsill. According to the architectural style, Guangzhou arcade can be divided into Xiguan arcade and Dongshan arcade.

Xiguan arcade is a representative of the early arcade, and its appearance is mainly decorated in baroque style. Most of the designs of mountain flowers and buildings have the decorative features of ancient Rome, such as Roman columns and curly patterns, but they also incorporate elements of traditional China architecture, such as the walls are mostly made of fair-faced bricks in China. One of the most distinctive buildings in China is the Manchu window, which is a kind of square window made of tiny stained glass and is very common in xiguan big house. The cornices of the top mountain flowers are also made into soft arched roofs with China characteristics.

Dongshan arcade was formed a little later than Xiguan arcade and became more modern and concise. For example, Roman columns have become simple square columns, fine stone walls and rice walls have replaced fair-faced brick walls, and geometric patterns have also increased. The hanging of mountain flowers is the most unique feature of Dongshan arcade. Picking out the arched awning on the front wall is both beautiful and practical.
