From Shamian to Haixinsha, travel through a century of Guangzhou.

When visiting Guangzhou, it's recommended to stay near Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, as the transportation is convenient and there are many delicious foods. Just a few steps away, you can find a century-old store that is a cultural heritage. Travel tips: Start from Gongyuanqian Subway Station in the morning, and take two stops to Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. The ancestral hall itself is a work of art, and there are many folk art galleries inside, such as clay sculptures, straw paintings, and nut carvings, as well as some lost crafts that are breathtaking. Walk south from Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, and you will pass by Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street and Shamian. If you don't like shopping, you can skip the pedestrian street, but Shamian is a must-see place worth exploring slowly. Some people say that Shamian is the Bund of Guangzhou. Indeed, every building has its own history, and some are still foreign consulates. A city walk along the river for less than two kilometers will take you to Sacred Heart Cathedral. The Baroque-style facade of the church has a touch of Notre Dame de Paris, and the interior decoration is also magnificent. There are two subway stations near Sacred Heart Cathedral, and it takes less than 40 minutes to reach Canton Tower. The area around Canton Tower and Haixin Bridge is the essence of Guangzhou's night view. If you are taking a night cruise on the Pearl River with kids, be sure to board the boat here. The cruise ships are newer and have various cartoon themes such as Snoopy and GG Bond. It is recommended to go there at four or five in the afternoon, so you won't miss the sunset and the lighting of Canton Tower. When you return to Beijing Road at night, the real nightlife begins. Enjoy beef offal, dim sum, and desserts one by one, and eat your way back to the hotel. Perfect!
