The bathtub in this suite at the White Swan Hotel is larger than those in suites of the same level in other luxury hotels in Guangzhou. It looks like it can hold a ton of hot water, and once you lie in it, you won't want to get out. ▪️ As for the other details and textures of this room, you can see them in the pictures. As always, the White Swan Hotel is as good as it looks. ▪️ On a side note, when you stay at the White Swan Hotel, if you have time, you can take a look at the book they have placed under the bedside table. The book is called "Xian Tian Xia" and is a chronicle of the White Swan Hotel written by the former GM of the hotel. It is a thick book with exquisite printing. It tells the story of the origin and design of the White Swan Hotel, its heritage and innovation, and the daily life of the hotel staff in various departments. A good hotel is a work that changes over time, but I rarely have the opportunity to see detailed hotel records. For travelers who have always wanted to learn about these things, this would be a great start.

The White Swan feels like an old-fashioned hotel, but it was renovated in 2017, and the overall experience still feels very welcoming. This time, I stayed in a sea-view room with a 180-degree view of the Pearl River. The 11th-floor height is almost at eye level with the river, giving a majestic feeling. Especially at night, when the lights are off, the direct view of the Pearl River makes for a very restful sleep. 💰 Average cost per person: Room price is 1288 RMB, equivalent to around 1400 HKD. Last time I booked through Trip.com, which was cheaper than the official website. The hotel has two surprising features: 1. The hotel's spa is operated by a third-party contractor, but all the products are directly imported from the Thai brand Thann. The 90-minute service is very comfortable. 💰 Average cost per person: 1000 RMB 2. For breakfast, you can go to the lobby's Hongtu Xuan for dim sum. I found the dim sum to be excellent. The shrimp in the siu mai is large, and the char siu pastry with young ginger is a rare treat. In the morning, one person can't eat too much, so a tea and three dim sum cost 230 HKD. The hotel room has a historical album compiled by the hotel, introducing the history of Guangzhou's foreign trade and the development of the hotel. It also mentions some anecdotes about world celebrities staying at the White Swan Hotel, making it perfect for bedtime reading.

I don't know how many times I've been to Guangzhou. Although I try new things every time, there are so many delicious things in Guangzhou that I can't keep up. The list of restaurants I want to try keeps growing. I heard about the White Swan Hotel and its No. 1 dim sum the first time I came here, but I didn't want to wait in line, so I gave up. This time, I booked a room and a table in advance, and I finally got to try the best dim sum in Guangzhou and experience the charm of the White Swan Hotel. 🌹 The White Swan has two restaurants that serve dim sum, Hongtu House and Jade River. The food is similar, but Jade River seems to be more popular, so we chose it. 🌹 We ordered the signature Sachima, which should be eaten hot. It's soft and airy, not greasy or sticky, and very fragrant. It's not too sweet, and although it's delicious, it's not amazing. 🌹 The crispy char siu bao is special because the bun is a pineapple bun, which is different from the Hong Kong-style char siu bao. The filling is average, but overall it's pretty good. 🌹 The abalone swan pastry was originally supposed to be chestnut swan pastry, but the waiter said they were out of chestnut and replaced it with abalone. The pastry is very good, dry and crispy, and the abalone inside is chewy. The overall flavor is salty and fragrant, and the shape is outstanding. It's worth a try. 🌹 The shrimp dumplings are amazing, the best I've ever had. The portion is good, the skin is thin but chewy, the shrimp is bouncy, and there's a hint of black pepper and bamboo shoots. The taste is unforgettable. 🌹 I chose the lemongrass pigeon over the black char siu, so the black char siu from Qiaomei is still No. 1 in my heart. I'll compare them next time. The lemongrass pigeon surprised me. The lemongrass is very flavorful, not just a garnish. The aroma is strong as soon as it's served. The pigeon is not crispy, but tender and juicy, with a lemongrass fragrance that balances the gaminess. It's amazing. The taro dumplings are a bit ordinary. The taro paste and pastry are fine, but the dumplings are a bit greasy. It depends on personal taste. 🌹 The almond tea is full of milk and almond flavor, perfect for cleansing the palate after a big meal. Highly recommended. 🌹 I didn't have high expectations for the White Swan, an old local five-star hotel, and only stayed for the restaurant reservation. But I was pleasantly surprised. From check-in to check-out, the experience was on par with big brands like Four Seasons and Waldorf. The service was warm, the decor and facilities were new (except for the room, which was a bit dated), and the view was great, especially the pool and gym. 🌹

This is a place that holds memories for generations of Guangzhou locals. When I was a child, I only knew that we had to go to the White Swan Hotel for a good meal during the holidays. This time, it has a new meaning: it is a place for me to learn more about my parents. The White Swan Hotel was built in 1979 by the Guangdong Provincial Tourism Bureau and Fok Ying Tung's Wai Cheong Development Company. It opened on February 6, 1983. It covers an area of more than 30,000 square meters, with a construction area of 110,000 square meters. It is 28 stories high, with 843 rooms and 30 restaurants of various sizes.

Tea: 20 or more per person Service charge: 15% Recommended menu: shrimp dumplings, egg-fried rice dumplings, cashew puffs, shrimp rolls, beef congee with egg, egg tarts 💰 Per capita: The price is relatively high, ranging from 200 to 300 per person. 🍴 Western Restaurant There should be two Western restaurants, with different prices for lunch and dinner buffets.

All the locals know that it is very prestigious to have tea and meals at Guangdong Victory Hotel! Decode the history Opened in 1888, it was the first English-style hotel in Guangzhou, "Shamian Hotel" Renamed "Victoria Hotel" in 1895 Renamed "Guangdong Victory Hotel" in 1957 with an inscription by Guo Moruo Xiguan Cantonese Restaurant on the second floor Still inherits the essence of traditional Cantonese cuisine, exquisite dim sum, sugar-coated doughnuts, congee with dried beancurd and pig stomach, rice noodles with seafood... I was really surprised this time! The Chinese restaurant also launched a dinner for two for CNY 98! It includes sweet and sour pork, duck with ginger and marinated tofu, seasonal vegetables, soup, and tea. It is really hard to believe that you can have Chinese food at this price at Victory Hotel! √ Corn and egg custard It is a very traditional Cantonese soup. The ingredients seem simple, but it is actually very difficult to make it fresh, tender, and smooth! √ Sweet and sour pork It is moderately fatty and lean, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and sweet and sour! I personally think this is the best! √ Duck with ginger and marinated tofu It is decent, but the duck is very tender! In addition to the set meal, the a la carte is actually not expensive~ The locals strongly recommend it! There are more amazing things √ It is the only star hotel in Guangzhou that retains the classical Western European architectural style √ It has its own museum! It has its own cultural and creative store! √ Guangzhou Cultural and Creative Store in the lobby on the first floor! No need to queue elsewhere! In addition, you can stamp the postcard after purchase~ You will gain a lot from the trip~ I recommend a deep tour route of Cultural Park + Shamian Island. Recently, the 65th Chrysanthemum Show is being held in Cultural Park~ It is recommended to depart in the afternoon Subway: Line 6/8, Exit D of Cultural Park Station, direct to Cultural Park! Cultural Park (flower viewing) → Shisanxiang Museum (in Cultural Park) → Shamian Island (enter from No. 5 Bridge of Shajiyong) → Riverside area of Shamian Square (watch the sunset) → White Swan Hotel (check in) → Guangdong Victory Hotel (dinner)

The interior of the hotel is designed in the Lingnan courtyard style, which is elegant and refined. In terms of catering, there are Michelin-starred restaurant Hongtufu and black pearl restaurant Yutang Chunnuan, which can be called the ceiling of the morning tea world. The hotel also has a historical exhibition room and displays the Rolls Royce that hosted the Queen of England. The hotel is well-equipped with fully functional wellness facilities, a spa and a beauty center, and the staff has a professional service attitude. The river view room I stayed in this time had ample space and complete equipment. The most attractive thing is the open view outside the window, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Pearl River. This time we also went to Hongtu Mansion in the hotel to taste morning tea, which is known as the ceiling of Guangzhou’s morning tea industry. After entering, I feel that Hongtu Mansion is very grand, with a large area and many seats. The most attractive thing is the beautiful river view outside the large floor-to-ceiling glass window. The dim sum tastes great and everything is of high quality. All in all, it is very worthwhile to stay at the White Swan Hotel during your two-day and one-night trip to Guangzhou. Because the White Swan Hotel has an excellent location, well-maintained interior, and high service standards from its staff. #guangzhoutrip

Guangzhou White Swan Hotel, a five-star hotel beloved by the locals. The hotel is located in Shamian, Guangzhou, with convenient transportation options.
