The ancient "Dongping Pawnshop" Watchtower is located at No.1 Zhongshan 4 Lu, next to the city-gate structure of the East City gate of the Ming Dynasty. It was once a pawnshop in the Qing Dynasty and is often called "Dadongmen Pawnshop". The surface appearance of the ancient building is one of squareness, it is five-stories high on the north side and four stories on the south side. Its exterior façade assumes a watchtower shape. Towering for a century, the Dongping Pawnshop witnessed the ups and downs of Guangzhou.

Following its transformation into a pawnshop museum, the "Dongping Pawnshop" will open to the public free of charge Three stories is opened to visitors with the first floor exhibiting a replica of a pawnshop from the early Qing Dynasty; the second-floor displaying historical pictures and documents.
