In 1859, the foreign community in Guangzhou was moved from the banks of the Pearl
River to Shamian, an island built on a former sandbar that was separated from the
mainland by the creation of an artificial canal or river (now called Shajichong) and
built up to encompass twenty-seven hectares. Britain leased three-fifths of the island
from China, using it for their concession or settlement, while France leased the
remaining land for theirs.
