May Day Guangzhou Roaming Guide
Record of the May Day Guangzhou trip, sharing strategies.
D1: Departure, arriving in Guangzhou in the afternoon. After settling into the hotel, I went to the Canton Tower in the evening. The transportation was very convenient, with direct subway access. Taking the elevator to the 460-meter platform, there's a Ferris wheel to see the Guangzhou night view, giving a direct impression of Guangzhou.
D2: A full day at Chimelong Safari Park. Compared to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, this one leans more towards a wildlife park, while Zhuhai leans more towards marine animals. I spent the day checking the official WeChat account for show information, experiencing the rides, and seeing the animals. Just in time for the evening, I watched the Guangzhou Chimelong International Circus. Compared to the Chimelong Hengqin International Circus City and the Chimelong International Circus in Zhuhai, I personally prefer the Zhuhai Chimelong Circus, but both are wonderful and worth seeing, especially for children who are very excited.
D3: In the morning, we had morning tea at Panxi Restaurant (Litchi Bay Branch). With its garden-style layout, it happened to be raining, giving it a very Jiangnan and beautiful feel. The dim sum was all good, and it was very pleasant to eat morning tea while watching the rainy scenery in the garden. Afterward, we strolled around Yongqing Fang and then went to Shamian Island. The architecture of Shamian Island is very suitable for street photography, with scenery everywhere.
D4: The long-awaited Sacred Heart Cathedral. A Gothic building, not large but very beautiful, and very suitable for taking pictures. The streets around the church are also very suitable for strolling around. In the evening, we went to the Zhujiang Party Pier Beer Culture and Creative Art Zone under the Canton Tower for dinner, enjoying the river view by the Pearl River.
D5: We visited Xiaozhou Village, an ancient village in Guangdong Province. It was an unexpected surprise, full of life and artistic atmosphere. Strolling around was very quiet and comfortable, and you could take pictures anywhere.
D6: Return trip.
