When traveling to Guangzhou, the first must-visit place is definitely here
'Ten miles of red clouds and a bay of water, eight bridges and sixteen pavilions', with the clever combination of traditional architecture and garden space, it recreates a Guangzhou cultural hall with the theme of Lingnan water town, which can't be missed by locals or tourists!

Located on the northeast side of Haizhu Lake, the hall includes Quyi Garden, Public Culture Center, Guangfu Garden, Hanmo Garden, Guangxiu Garden... and many other themed buildings, each with Lingnan garden features! It's super photogenic...
There are multiple long-term exhibitions open to the public, and from time to time there are new exhibitions and art exhibitions held here. The key point is that every month there are cultural exchanges and wonderful performances with local characteristics, all for free!

·|①〈Central Pavilion〉
There are 5 floors in total, which is the tallest and most iconic building in the hall, with a height of ≈39 meters. It is built in the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, echoing the Canton Tower of the city's new central axis. Each floor has different local cultural exhibitions...
·|②〈Hanmo Garden〉
Nestled against the mountain and by the water, the entrance is a very photogenic garden with a sense of design. Through the climbing corridor, you can progress layer by layer, enter the upper layer, and see more beautiful scenery. Currently, there is an exhibition called 'Plastic Non-Heritage' here, which allows you to understand Guangfu culture more deeply!
·|③〈Quyi Garden〉
The building is 3 stories high, mainly for sightseeing, photography, and rest... There are occasional Cantonese opera cultural exchanges and performances!
