Keep this comprehensive guide handy and let it take you on an immersive journey through the romance of "The City of Goats" (another name for Guangzhou). 🌆Must-See Citywalk Route Shamian Island 🌴: Stepping onto this island is like traveling to a European town! With colorful foreign buildings and vintage streetlights, every step is like a scene from a movie 🎬 It's perfect for taking atmospheric photos under the green trees. Remember to wear light-colored clothes for amazing shots! You might even come across street performers playing music 🎸 Stop and listen to a song for a lazy and pleasant experience. Yongqing Fang 🏮: The arcade streets blend with trendy little shops, creating a unique artistic vibe! During the day, browse the unique handmade shops and find some one-of-a-kind accessories. In the evening, when the lights come on, the neon lights illuminate the green brick walls, making it easy to capture retro Hong Kong-style photos 📷 You might even catch a Cantonese opera performance – the actors' costumes are absolutely stunning and a feast for the eyes! Pearl River Night Cruise 🌃: I highly recommend this experience! As you board the cruise ship, the Canton Tower, Haixinsha Bridge, and other buildings along the banks light up with dazzling lights ✨ The Canton Tower changes colors in the night, like a giant colorful lollipop 🍭 With the river breeze on your face, listening to music, and watching the city's night view pass by, the romance level is maxed out! 🍜A Gastronomic Feast in Guangzhou When it comes to Guangzhou, the food is the main attraction! For breakfast, you must have a serving of rice noodle rolls 🥢 The thin, translucent rice noodle skin wraps fresh, tender shrimp. Drizzle with sauce and it's super satisfying to slurp it all up in one bite! You can't miss the wonton noodles either. The large, fresh shrimp wontons burst with juice when you bite into them, and the noodles are chewy and springy 🍜 Then, have a basket of custard buns. The hot, salty egg yolk custard will leave you completely mesmerized. When you're tired from walking around, pop into a dessert shop. The double-skin milk is rich in milk flavor, with a delicate and silky smooth texture 🥛 The mango pomelo sago is full of mango pulp and sago, which is sweet and sour and very refreshing! The beef offal stands on the roadside are also full of local flavor. The radish is soaked with broth, and the beef offal is soft, glutinous, and flavorful. Pair it with a bowl of plain wontons for double the happiness! 📌Helpful Tips ✅Guangzhou in May is hot, humid, and rainy, so remember to bring an umbrella + a portable mini fan. Don't forget sunscreen and mosquito repellent! ✅Taking the subway is super convenient. Get your Yangchengtong QR code ready 🚇 It's more comfortable to avoid the morning and evening rush hours. ✅Many of the time-honored shops close in the afternoon, so go early if you want to eat! ✅For taking photos at Yongqing Fang and Shamian Island, it's recommended to go in the morning when there are fewer people and better lighting. Come on, everyone! Guangzhou in May is delicious, photogenic, and fun 🎉 Follow this guide and embark on a super chill trip! 🚀

I just finished my special forces trip to Guangzhou, never went hungry, and never squeezed into crowds. This "poor and proud" guide will teach you how to enjoy the essence of Guangzhou for just ¥160 a day! 🏠Accommodation I recommend staying in a hostel dorm bed in Xihua Road/Beijing Road (¥60/night). Downstairs, you'll find intestinal powder stalls and sugar water shops. This time, I stayed in a retro guesthouse converted from a Qilou building. Opening the wooden window, I was greeted by the hawking of an old lady selling chicken olives. I saved money on an alarm clock and got an immersive experience of Xiguan culture💤. Fun fact: You can heat up takeout food in the hostel kitchen, and the downstairs market sells half a roasted duck leg for ¥8. Pair it with sour plum sauce, and you'll be licking your fingers～ 🚴♀️Transportation Hacks: See the Pearl River night view for ¥2 Avoid Subway Line 3 during rush hour! I recommend the APM line with its transparent carriages for a view of the underground galaxy. Kids get so excited they scream and slap the windows🚇. An alternative to the Pearl River night cruise: Take the S2 water bus route (¥2) to see the Canton Tower light show. The money you save is enough for three bowls of ginger milk curd. Shared bikes + walking is the right way to explore the old town. The chance encounters with turtle jelly carts are more authentic than the internet-famous shops～ 🎡Attractions ✅Shamian Island (free): European architecture makes for movie-like photos. Shoot against the light at 4pm to make your hair glow. ✅Yuexiu Park (free): Feed the koi under the Five Rams Sculpture. Local uncles say touching the ram's horns brings good luck🐑. ✅Yanjiang West Road (free): Use your phone's long exposure mode to capture the Aiqun Mansion from Renmin Bridge, and you'll have a "In the Mood for Love" still in seconds. ❌Avoid: The Canton Tower's admission fee is expensive, and it's often foggy. It's better to take panoramic photos for free at Huacheng Square. 🍜Foodie Frenzy ▪️Morning tea: Guanlü Tea House (¥25 per person) has taro puffs that ooze with filling when you bite into them, surpassing internet-famous shops. ▪️Sugar water: Shawan Ginger Milk Curd (¥10) is spicy and sweet, leaving your throat feeling like it's had a spa treatment. ▪️Hidden menu: Pig's feet ginger (¥15) at Stall 5 in Xihua Market. The gelatin sticks to your lips👄. 💣Avoid: The crust on the internet-famous clay pot rice on Beijing Road can chip your teeth. The beef offal cart in the alley is a better choice. 📸Photo Tips: Props are more important than filters ✅Buy a string of frangipani flowers at the market for ¥5 and wear them in your hair while taking photos on Shamian Island, pretending you're in Southeast Asia. ✅Buy an English newspaper (¥8) from a convenience store and pose for literary photos on a bench under a banyan tree. ✅Pick up a kapok flower by the Pearl River and use it as a prop. Everyone on your Moments will think you've gone to Australia. 🌟Summary: The essence of budget travel is off-peak travel This 5-day trip cost a total of ¥798. My top three cost-effective moves: 1️⃣ Sharing a hostel room + shopping at the market saved me 40% on accommodation and food. 2️⃣ Taking the water bus instead of the Pearl River night cruise offered the same scenery but cut my budget in half. 3️⃣ Visiting museums on working day mornings and having morning tea during afternoon tea time for a 50% discount.

Here you can immerse yourself in the style of old Guangzhou, eat beef offal and ice cream, visit ancient buildings, and take photos. 🏯Chen Clan Ancestral Hall The traditional Lingnan ancestral hall-style architecture is a good place to take your children to see the carved beams and painted buildings to appreciate Chinese aesthetics, especially its seven-character quatrains. 3️⃣ Carving: wood carving, brick carving, stone carving 2️⃣ Sculpture: plaster sculpture, pottery sculpture 1️⃣ Casting: Copper and iron castings are located on the platform and corridor. 1️⃣Painting: There is a 4-meter-high painted door god at the main gate, "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" in the east wing, and "Night Banquet of Peach and Plum" in the west wing.

The shrimp dumplings 🥟 were very chewy and big, the steamed chicken feet with soy sauce were very soft, the spare ribs, white scallop dumplings, rice noodle rolls, egg tarts 🥧, and red date cakes were all delicious 😋. 🍲🍧There is rice porridge It was really fun to walk to this rice porridge hotpot 🥘 restaurant on Xihua Road at noon. I could pick up the basket and take whatever I liked. There was a wide variety of fresh ingredients, including seafood 🍤, beef 🥩, pork offal, shrimp balls 🦐, and meatballs. They were delicious and fresh 😄. At the same time, I could also have ice cream 🍦🆓. 🔥🍻Tianbao Food Court Another delicious food hidden in Xihua Road is Tianbao Food Court, which opens at 5:30 in the evening. There is a long queue of old Cantonese people at the door. They use fresh ingredients to make fresh food, and the secret sauce is cooked in a sizzling pot. You can smell it.

🌸 Spring in Guangzhou is painted gold by the yellow tabebuia. Every March, the area around Zhou Tou Zui Park and the Island Ring Road transforms into a golden sea. Today, we'll share this golden treasure trove with you. 📍 Address: No. 26, Binjiang West Road, Haizhu District, Guangzhou 🚇 Transportation: Approx. 800m walk from Exit D of Tongfuxi Station on Metro Line 8. 🎫 Tickets: Free. 🌈 Features: Every March, the yellow tabebuia trees around Zhou Tou Zui Park and Island Ring Road enter full bloom. A 2 km golden corridor unfolds along the Pearl River. When the wind blows, golden blossoms flutter down, creating a scene reminiscent of a Van Gogh painting. The yellow tabebuia blossoms only last for 10 days. Strong winds can cause many blossoms to fall, so don't miss out—you'll have to wait another year! ⚠️ Note: 1. It's best to visit in the soft light of early morning or evening to capture the blossoms' texture. 2. Use a telephoto lens to compress the space and focus on individual blossoms for a layered effect. 3. Shoot large scenes with front lighting and close-ups with backlighting for translucent blossoms. 4. Guangzhou is humid and rainy in spring, so remember to bring an umbrella. 5. The flowering period is short, only 10–15 days, so visit soon if you want to see the blossoms. 🌟 Nearby activities PLUS: 1. Taikoocang Wharf: Watch the golden sunset and enjoy dinner with a river view. 2. Shamian Island: Take photos of Republican-era architecture framed by yellow blossoms. 3.

Shamian is a sandbank island on the southern edge of Liwan District in Guangzhou. Situated on the riverside of the Pearl River, the area was, for centuries, a foreign trading post. Shamian’s role as the conduit of trade spanned the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was also a place of leisure and tourism as well. In the more recent 19th century, Shamian was a location of heavy foreign presence. Many countries have set up their consular offices in this area. In fact, the Polish Consulate of Guangzhou is still in Shamian today. Needless to say, it was also a prime location for business operations, such as foreign banks and trader offices (the “Hongs”—like the Thirteen Factories). This would be the appropriate moment to bring back the memory of the Thirteen Hongs of Canton. This history is closely related to Shamian as we know it now. In 1856, the Second Opium War broke out. Great Britain launched extensive firepower against Guangzhou. This touched off a wave of local protests that resulted in the Thirteen Factories Enclave being burnt to the ground. The Second Opium War would last till 1860, during this time the British had taken control of Guangzhou. Given Shamian’s historic role as a trading post, it came as no surprise that Shamian was eyed by the foreign powers as their foothold in Guangzhou. Shamian became a concession area for Great Britain and France beginning in the 11th year of the Xianfeng Reign (1861). The British abandoned the plans for rebuilding the Thirteen Factories Enclave, and instead looked to build Shamian. Allow for at least two hours to walk through all the streets in Shamian. There are recreational areas as well as coffee shops for you to stop and take rest. #shamian #shamianisland #thirteenhong #guangzhouhistory #guangzhou #guangdong #china #southchina #colonialarchitecture #colonialcharm #polishconsulate #greatbritain #opiumwar #historicallandmarks#历史古迹
