Stayed two nights on Shamian Island in the Guangdong Victory Hotel. My wife and I stayed in the West building. It is around the corner from the main hotel. Very nice location and rooms. Right now, all of the streets are under re-construction. They are getting ready for the Asian Games. I was told that everything needed to be completed in May. To say the least, it was an adventure walking around all the construction.
