Guangzhou Shenzhen 3-Day 2-Night Mini-Vacation Guide | Staying at Manfei and Visiting the Observatory is So Delightful ✨

This time, I discovered a fantastic hotel – Manfei Hotel (Guangzhou Jingxi Nanfang Hospital Metro Station Branch). Its location is super convenient, right next to Metro Line 3, just a 5-minute walk away! The rooms have a modern minimalist style, and the bedding is so comfortable that I slept in naturally every day 😴 Day 1️⃣ After checking into Manfei Hotel, head straight to Baiyun Mountain. It's a 15-minute taxi ride from the hotel. I recommend starting your hike around 4 PM to catch a stunning sunset! In the evening, come back and explore/eat and shop at Jia Yu Sun City near the hotel~ Day 2️⃣ Get up early and take the high-speed train to Shenzhen (about a 1-hour journey), then head straight to Shenzhen Astronomical Observatory! This white building complex located at Xichong Beach is incredibly photogenic; remember to wear light-colored clothes for photos 📸 🌟Tips: The Observatory is closed on Mondays. Remember to book in advance (it's free), and entry closes at 5 PM. Don't miss the breathtaking coastal boardwalk! Walk down the steps, with cliffs on one side and the clear blue sea on the other. Every shot is a masterpiece~ I recommend coming between 3-4 PM when the light is softest for photos. Day 3️⃣ Sleep in and enjoy the buffet breakfast at Manfei Hotel (their freshly ground coffee ☕️ is amazing!). Then, leisurely browse the creative cultural shops near Nanfang Hospital. I reluctantly returned after finding a few cute little items. 🚗Travel Tips: It's recommended to buy high-speed train tickets from Guangzhou to Shenzhen in advance; trains run every half hour, which is very convenient. Manfei Hotel to Guangzhou South Railway Station is about 40 minutes by metro. For the Observatory, it's recommended to drive or take a taxi; navigate to "Xichong Beach Entrance No. 4". 🍴Food Recommendations: Guangzhou: Cha Chaan Teng (Hong Kong-style cafes) at Jia Yu Sun City, Cantonese dim sum near the hotel. Shenzhen: Seafood stalls on the way back from the Observatory (remember to bargain!).
