【雲上嶺南】The Aiqun Building: standing beside the Pearl River for more than 80 years
愛群大廈:矗立珠江畔八十餘載
Built in 1937, theAiqun Hotel, also known as Aiqun Building, held the title of 「the tallest building in Guangzhou」 for 30 years. The architectural style of the building borrowed from the new style of American skyscrapers, but also incorporated the Lingnan architectural style. Now, as a landmark building of Guangzhou, the 84-year old building is closely related to the development of Guangzhou and has long been an inseparable part of Guangzhou.
建於1937年的愛群大酒店,又名愛群大廈,曾在長達30年的時間裡佔據「廣州第一高樓」的稱號。這棟大廈建築風格既借鑒了美國摩天大廈新風格的設計手法,又在其中融入嶺南建築風格。如今,已有84年歷史的大廈作為廣州的標誌性建築,與廣州的發展息息相關,已成為廣州不可分割的一部分。
