White Goose Pond Art Center: Three Venues in One This time, I visited the Art Museum. There are five floors in total. Each floor has several exhibition halls. The first floor occasionally has special exhibitions. You can take photos, but no flash is allowed. My personal favorite is the immersive exhibition section. As soon as you enter, there are large screen projections, even on the floor. It's truly immersive. Note that you cannot bring water bottles or long umbrellas inside. There is a storage area on the first floor. Each floor has water dispensers. Additionally, the air conditioning inside is quite strong, so it's better to bring an extra jacket. Address: 50 meters south of Fangcun Wharf, Changdi Street, Provincial Navigation Metro: About a 10-minute walk from Fangcun Station, Exit B1

The view of the river from outside the Baietan Art Museum is particularly comfortable 😌 There are so many works in the exhibition hall! It's dazzling to look at! Full of artistic atmosphere ✨

Taking the baby to the museum, walk very slowly. This place is really beautiful! Great for photos! Sharing tips for taking an 8-month-old baby to the White Goose Pond Art Museum What should you pay attention to? 1️⃣ If you want fewer people, choose to go on weekdays to avoid weekends. If you can only go on weekends, choose the morning! 2️⃣ Choose a time when the baby is full and well-rested, so it's easier to take photos without fussing. Or bring equipment that helps them sleep peacefully, such as a baby carrier if they like to sleep in it, a favorite toy if they like to sleep with it, or a stroller if they need to sleep in it. 3️⃣ It's really big inside. If you don't plan to use a stroller and want to use a baby carrier, make sure your back is strong enough, otherwise, you'll get tired 😩. 4️⃣ If you want beautiful photos, dress the baby up a bit, put on nice clothes, and for girls with less hair, you can use a headband or hat. 5️⃣ Clear out the stroller in advance or tidy it up to make the photos look better. 6️⃣ The nursing room is on the 3rd floor in a relatively hidden place, you need to ask the staff (the nursing room is quite large but the environment is so-so). There are vertical elevators on the 2nd and 3rd floors that are rarely used. To go to the 4th and 5th floors, you need to ask the staff/security to arrange for the special access elevator, which is a bit troublesome. Only the 3rd floor has a row of seats for resting, but there are not many seats and it's a bit hot. 7️⃣ The air conditioning inside is quite strong, remember to dress the baby warmly!

It is recommended to reserve 1⃣️ day to visit the Baietan Greater Bay Area Art Center, otherwise, it's really too big to finish in one go.

Summer is a great time to visit because the indoor air conditioning is very strong, allowing you to cool off from the heat while enjoying your visit. 🌟 📍Location: Baietan Greater Bay Area Art Center 🚇Transport: Metro Line 1 Fangcun Station B1 Exit 🌟 Guangdong Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum: My favorite is the 'Bay Area Heart-to-Heart' exhibition hall on the fourth floor, which is about 600 square meters. Based on the concept of 'Building a Humanistic Bay Area Together', it selects representative projects of intangible cultural heritage from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, focusing on Cantonese opera, martial arts, and lion dance, showcasing the advantages of the region's proximity and cultural affinity, and highlighting the unique cultural charm of the Bay Area. · Guangdong Literature Museum: It features ten main functional areas including the Literature Achievement Display Area, Literature Works Reading Area, Youth Creative Writing Center, Belt and Road International Literary Exchange Center, Popular Literature Exchange Area, Literary Research Area, Literary Creative Integration Area, Public Service Area, Collection Area, and Collection Technology Area, as well as auxiliary rooms. · New Building of the Guangdong Museum of Art: There are 8⃣️ major themed exhibition halls, which are: Frozen Poetry, Urban Chain·Art Experiment Exhibition in the South, New Era Assignment, Touch of the Future, Tide of the Pearl River, Passionate Years, Awakening Era, and Future Garden.
