Xiguan Creek

Xiguan Creek (Chinese: 西关涌; pinyin: Xiguān chōng; Jyutping: Sai1gwaan1 cung1) is a former river located in Xiguan, Guangzhou, China.

During the reign of the Ming Dynasty Wanli Emperor (1572–1620), ships could sail along Xiguan Creek up to the Qingyun Bridge, which is today's Qingyun Li, Taoshadang, and Wanzhong Li.

Since the time of the Qing Dynasty, Daguan River, which is connected to Xiguan Creek, has silted up as far as Guilan (called Ruixing Li today).

Daguan River ends at 14-Pu Pier, at today's Tu Di Gong Temple in Ruixing Li.
