Guangzhou CityWalk

What attracts me to Guangzhou is not only the endless classic Cantonese cuisine, but also its profound historical heritage and modern city scenery! This time, I have summarized 2 routes for eating, drinking and visiting attractions during the day, and taking a boat ride to enjoy the night view at night and recommend them to everyone! Route 1: Chen Clan Academy ➡ Litchi Bay Scenic Area ➡ Yongqingfang/Cantonese Opera Art Museum ➡ Shamian Island ➡ Former Site of Guangdong Customs ➡ Guangzhou Thirteen Hong Museum ➡ Guangzhou Sacred Heart Cathedral ➡ Night View of Yanjiang West Road Route 2: Yuexiu Park ➡ Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall ➡ Museum of the Nanyue King (King's Tomb Exhibition Area/Royal Palace Exhibition Area) ➡ Beijing Road Pedestrian Street ➡ Baiyun Mountain (Guangzhou Night View) ➡ Haixin Bridge/Guangzhou Tower/Liede Bridge Night View Check-in point: 🌟Chen Clan Academy: It displays the superb craftsmanship of "three carvings, two sculptures, one casting and one painting" of Lingnan architecture. It is a must-visit place to understand the traditional architectural art of Cantonese. 🌟Pantang Historic District/Litchi Bay Scenic Area: A bay of green water, red lychees on both sides, to appreciate the style of Xiguan, you must not miss this place. 🌟Yongqingfang/Cantonese Opera Art Museum: It consists of a group of antique buildings in the style of Lingnan gardens. You can learn about Cantonese opera culture and watch Cantonese opera. 🌟Shamian Island: There are exotic European buildings here, and the colorful buildings are very suitable for checking in and taking photos. 🌟Former Site of Guangdong Customs: Designed in the style of European classical architecture, you can walk a little further east, where there are fewer people and the scenery is better. 🌟Guangzhou Thirteen Hong Museum: One Thirteen Hong, half of Guangzhou's history, all the cultural relics in the museum are donated free of charge by enthusiastic people from China and abroad. 🌟Guangzhou Sacred Heart Cathedral: Be sure to look up at the stained glass windows on the dome, which are very beautiful with the sunlight shining in in the afternoon. 🌟Night view of Yanjiang West Road: A good choice for viewing the night view. The European-style buildings with golden lights are most beautiful at sunset. 🌟Yuexiu Park: It is not only a park, but also contains many attractions such as Guangzhou Museum and Guangzhou Art Museum. It is quite comfortable to take a walk in it. 🌟Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall: The blue-brick and blue-tiled hall is magnificent, and the entire courtyard is also home to a flourishing community of ancient trees. 🌟Nanyue King Museum (King’s Tomb Exhibition Area/Royal Palace Exhibition Area): The two exhibition areas are in different places. The King’s Tomb Exhibition Area is centered on the Tomb of King Wen of Nanyue, and the Royal Palace Exhibition Area is centered on the ruins of the Nanyue Palace. 🌟Beijing Road Pedestrian Street: The most prosperous commercial center in Guangzhou's history. For more than two thousand years, its status as the central urban area and central business district has remained unchanged. 🌟Baiyun Mountain (Guangzhou Night View): The Guangzhou version of "Starry Dreams", navigate to the entrance of Lianquan Gate of Baiyun Mountain, and climb the mountain for 15 minutes to reach the observation deck to enjoy the most beautiful night view of Guangzhou city. 🌟Night view of Haixin Bridge/Guangzhou Tower/Liede Bridge: Guangzhou's modern city is embodied here, and this is the place with the most beautiful night view of the Pearl River. Accommodation suggestions • 🏨It is recommended to live near Beijing Road, Zhujiang New Town or Tiyuxi Road, Yuexiu Park. It is located in the city center and has very convenient transportation. 【Food Recommendation】 • 🥘Guangzhou morning tea, rice rolls, Cantonese cuisine (such as braised pigeon, braised goose in soy sauce, clay pot rice), double skin milk, sweet soup, Chaoshan beef hot pot, Shunde sashimi.
