Step into a timelessly elegant hotel

A stunning Chinese garden hotel near Beijing Road, Guangzhou!! I stumbled upon a hidden gem while shopping on Beijing Road in Guangzhou! Just a turn away from the bustling crowds, I suddenly found myself in a "living history museum"—the Guangdong Guesthouse! According to the security guard at the entrance, this place has served eight different roles over 2,000 years, from Renshao Temple in the Qin Dynasty to Jingnan Palace in the Qing Dynasty. Now, you can actually stay here for just a few hundred yuan—it's like sleeping in a history textbook! [Accommodation: Wake up to a Lingnan garden view] The Elegant Garden View Twin Room I stayed in was absolutely amazing! The view outside the window was a Lingnan garden with a small bridge and flowing water. Waking up to the sound of birds chirping, I felt like I was in a historical drama, haha... The bed was so soft, it felt like sinking into a cloud. After a long day of exploring Beijing Road, lying on it was pure bliss! [Dining: Time-honored chefs serve up intangible cultural heritage delicacies] Dinner at the Red Cotton Restaurant was a feast! The must-try dish is the "Old Aromatic Stewed Pork Ribs" soup. The aroma of aged tangerine peel from Chaozhou wafts through the air, leaving your throat feeling soothed. The "Braised Abalone with Vegetarian Sea Cucumber in Abalone Sauce" was so good, even vegetarians couldn't resist. The "vegetarian sea cucumber" was even more tender and springy than the real thing! And the "Steamed Pork Belly with Fermented Soybean Paste" was so delicious, it would make your mom proud! (Not to mention the fish nuggets with sweet sauce—a taste of childhood!) To the left of the main entrance is the "Green Stream" waterfall, inscribed by Guan Shanyue! The water cascades onto the bluestone slabs. Standing next to it in a cheongsam, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. Cultural Corridor + General's Pavilion Perfect for capturing that old Guangzhou vibe. The corridor's patterned windows frame the lush greenery, creating a sense of depth. Every shot is a cinematic masterpiece. For those who love taking photos, you can book a free Trip Moments photoshoot at the front desk! The makeup artist will style you in a cheongsam or Hanfu that complements the garden scenery, and the photographer is a master at finding the perfect angles. Even the most camera-shy can capture stunning photos that look like they belong in a historical drama! It's just a ten-minute walk back from Beijing Road. After a day of shopping, I returned to my room, made a cup of tea, and simply relaxed, gazing at the Lingnan garden below. I finally understood the meaning of "finding tranquility amidst the bustling city." When you come to Guangzhou, don't just stick to the typical tourist spots! Spend half a day here, immersed in history, surrounded by the beauty of the garden, and capturing memorable photos. When I shared my location on social media, my friends all asked if I had secretly traveled to an ancient town in Jiangnan, hhh.
