📍 China
Nanfang Building stands near the Pearl River in Guangzhou’s historic Xidi commercial district. Opened in 1922 as the Daxin department store, it reflects an era when overseas Chinese investment helped transform the city’s shopping streets and skyline. Its tower-topped silhouette and Western-influenced façade express the ambition of Guangzhou’s early modern department stores, offering a distinctive vertical landmark among the surrounding commercial blocks. Today, the building and nearby markets are closely associated with mobile phones and electronics, connecting this historic retail address with the city’s continuing wholesale trade.
