What travelers say:
The former site of Guangzhou Fire Bureau is located at No. 47 Wenming Road, Yuexiu District. It is really useless to think of this fire station still in use. The building is still an old building in the Republic of China. In 1927, the Guangzhou municipality built a two-story Western-style building for firefighting needs, and a fire watchtower nearly 30 meters high in the middle of the building to monitor the fire. It is said that the watchtower was still in use in the 1960s. At present, the building is also used as a firefighting facility, and it is only open to the public at a fixed time every month. The former site of Guangdong Fire Bureau is also listed as a cultural relics protection unit in Guangzhou.

The former site of Guangzhou Fire Bureau, now No. 49 Wenming Road, was once the Guangzhou Central Fire Station. It was designed by Charles Souders Paget, the father of modern Guangzhou architecture, in 1924 and completed in 1927. The headquarters building was designed and constructed in accordance with the British Fire Building at that time. It is a classical column structure building. The lower floor is a water pump room, where a pump water fire truck is parked. There is a horse stable next to it. On the top floor of the building is a loft-style lookout post. The watchers stand at the Lookout Post and can have a clear bird's-eye view of the panoramic view of Guangzhou. Once they observe the fire, they will ring the bell to warn the people and inform the people below the fire location through the bamboo tube. Today, as the camp of the Yuexiu Fire Squadron, it undertakes the task of urban rescue and all-round service for community residents. At the same time, the squadron also took advantage of the geographical advantage of being located at the intersection of Beijing Road and Wenming Road to actively carry out fire station opening activities, set up exhibitions, demonstrations, experiences, drills and observation areas to promote fire protection knowledge to the public.
