Before his three sold-out concerts at Tianhe Sports Center, Mandopop R&B icon David Tao explored the Liuyun Community – a hidden gem where old-school Guangzhou charm meets youth culture.

Built in 1987 for the sixth National Games, this former athletes' village has transformed into one of Tianhe's most chilled-out neighborhoods. Here, daily life blends with artistic energy. You'll find artisanal coffee shops, retro boutiques, vintage stores, and diverse eateries – from time-honored local flavors to Instagram-worthy dessert spots.
