Island

Description

Sandbar Island is a 44-acre sandbank with a river dividing it from Guangzhou. After the First Opium War in 1841, it was given to the French and British governments as a concession. The island gradually developed into a thriving expat enclave where European, U.S. and Japanese trade firms came to do business. To their former glory, many of the colonial mansions have been rebuilt.
