Taotaoju culture
Historically, Taotaoju Restaurant has attracted countless literati with its rich cultural and artistic flavor and high-quality dishes.
Lu Xun, Ba Jin, Chen Canyun, Liu Haisu and other celebrities have all come here to taste tea. Over the past century, Taotaoju, after several generations of hard work, is now one of the most famous large restaurants in Guangzhou that can accommodate more than 1300 people at the same time.
The dining room building is four stories high, and its appearance is a national architectural form of red wall and green tile carved beams and painted buildings. The hall is spacious and bright, elegantly furnished and antique.
The facade of the restaurant is even more magnificent. The column in front of the road is still engraved with the exquisite couplets collected by Esheng Qin, a contemporary calligrapher during the Republic of China, and there are vivid reliefs to show the "old name" of Guangzhou cuisine. In 1990s, the "Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition" continued to be held on the third floor of Xiao Yuan, Hua Shuang, which reflected the inherent traditional cultural taste of Taotao House.
