About 50 sets of paintings and artefacts depicting the daily life and landscape of Canton of the 18th and 19th centuries are currently being showcased at the Hong Kong Museum of Art from September 14 until March 28 next year.

The exhibition, "The Ultimate South China Travel Guide - Canton", serves as a holographic travel guide offering practical destination information complete with the do’s and don’ts of days gone by and a shop-till-you-drop directory catering specifically to the needs of foreign travellers in the 1800s. Visitors can imagine travelling back in time and visiting the Canton of old.
