🇸🇬 Back from Singapore to Chongqing! After 5 years in Singapore, I was numbed by the refined sea breeze. Back in Chongqing, I dove headfirst into the vibrant mountains, seas, and local life of Guangdong and was so healed I want to settle down! This no-fail, super budget-friendly, ultimate guide is a must-copy for Chongqing locals/Singapore expats!
🌆 Shenzhen | Switch from skyscrapers to mountains and sea in 1 click
Visit the "global village" in 1 day at Window of the World and pretend to take tourist photos at the Merlion; walk the bluestone paths and listen to the sea breeze at Dapeng Fortress—it's wilder than East Coast Park; scream your lungs out at Happy Valley after holding it in in Singapore; get some fresh air and see the lake at OCT East, pretending you're on vacation in Sentosa; take "fake Switzerland" blockbuster photos at the European-style town.
🍲 Guangzhou | The vibrant local life of Guangzhou is even more addictive than hot pot
Pet koalas and feed giraffes at Chimelong Safari Park—cuter than the Singapore Zoo; climb the Canton Tower for the night view—it has more character than Marina Bay Sands; visit the Guangdong Museum for a quiet, educational experience; watch the orange sunset at Seagull Island to heal your inner burnout; hike at Baiyun Mountain for fresh air and to burn off that hot pot grease.
🍵 Foshan | Lingnan flavors hidden in the hustle and bustle
🌊 Zhuhai | A romantic small city facing the sea
Watch the sunrise and sunset at Qi'ao Island—it's more pristine than Pulau Ubin; see whale sharks swim overhead at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom—it's breathtakingly stunning; take photos of the "shell" landmark at the Zhuhai Grand Theater—it's more photogenic than the ArtScience Museum;
🏔️ Huizhou | An underrated mountain and sea secret
🍤 Shantou | Full of Chaoshan local vibes
🌊 Shanwei | A niche seaside healing spot
Pray for peace at Yuanshan Temple; watch the waves crash against the rocks at Red Bay—it's full of wild energy; take cinematic road trip photos at Windmill Island—windmills + sea = the ultimate healing; explore history at Zhelang Ancestral Hall Street; see the mountains and sea in one frame at Shenxiang Mountain.
🏞️ Zhaoqing | The poetic charm of Lingnan landscapes
Go boating on the lake at Seven Star Crags and see the karst landforms; go stream trekking and play in the water at Ziyun Valley—it's cool and refreshing; pray and make wishes at Yuecheng Longmu Ancestral Temple; taste wine and listen to stories at the Xijiang Wine Culture Museum; go hiking and exploring at Huangjin Valley.
🌳 Dongguan | Greenery hidden in the city
Cycle around Songshan Lake and see the sea of flowers and the lake; climb high for a view at Yinping Mountain; take the kids or go on a date at Yinxianshan Villa; explore history at Nanshe Ancient Village; pray and enjoy the view at Guanyin Mountain.
From the refined metropolis of Singapore to the spicy, vibrant life of Chongqing, and then to the mountains, seas, and local life of Guangdong, every city has a different kind of healing power. Save this guide and set off next time!
