Guangdong Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Canton Tower Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Canton Tower charm of Guangzhou 🇨🇳
#chinatrip
Guangzhou is such a stunning city with numerous sights to explore. But nothing quite compares to the breathtaking Guangzhou Tower!
Construction of the tower kicked off in 2005, and it was unveiled in 2010 during the 16th Asian Games 🏙️. Standing tall at an impressive 650m, including the antenna, it ranks as the second tallest tower globally. The view from the top is unparalleled, offering breathtaking vistas for miles around on clear days 🌆.
Inside the tower, there are plenty of activities to enjoy. The lower levels (80 to 170m) host a 4D cinema, play hall area, dining spots, cafes, and outdoor gardens 🎥🌳. Midway up the tower lies the awe-inspiring Skywalk, the world's highest and longest open-air staircase 🌟. Starting at 170m and extending another 170m, some floors feature transparent glass (definitely not for the faint-hearted) 🌉. At the top level above the staircase, you'll find a two-story rotating restaurant and upper observation decks, leading to the terrace observation level 🍽️🔭.
Guangzhou Tram Guide! The joy of 2 yuan is beyond your imagination
「 Breathe in the local atmosphere
· Shake hands with your little mood swings 」
In Guangzhou, trams are not just a means of transportation
But also, each station along the way is a scene!
Follow my steps and enjoy the happiness of 2 yuan ☺️
📍 Practical Romance
Guangzhou's trams are everyday transportation, but they really look great! If you catch the different stations when they are blooming, it's like a scene straight out of an anime!
Just 2 yuan for a ticket, from Guangzhou Tower Station to Wanshengwei Station, quickly connecting Tianhe District with Haizhu District~
🔸Tram Station Guide
🚈【Pazhou Bridge South】Station
✅If you want the cover shot, you need to get off at 【Pazhou Bridge South】station, then walk to Pazhou Bridge, and shoot towards the direction of 【Exhibition East】station, you can even capture the Canton Tower. But the shooting distance is not close, a telephoto lens is better
✅The environment near this station is quite nice, and it's worth getting off and taking a walk
·
🚈【Party Pier】Station
✅A great place to watch the sunset!
✅The area around Party Pier along the Pearl River has a nice environment, and there are many bars and restaurants, suitable for having a drink or a bite to eat after a day of strolling~
·
🚈【Pazhou Tower】Station
✅Around March, the yellow tabebuia trees by the station will be in full bloom!
✅Nearby is the Water Park, a nice park with a good environment
·
🚈【Liede Bridge South】Station
✅Around March, the kapok flowers by the station will bloom, and you can walk up to Liede Bridge after getting off to take a photo of the kapok flowers with the tram
These camera positions captured a stunning joint photo with the Canton Tower
Happy weekend, sleep until you wake up naturally, then meet up with friends for a meal in Zhujiang New Town~~In order not to waste this blue sky and white clouds, I had a sudden idea: why not take a walk around the Canton Tower and check out the beautiful spots recommended by netizens?
❣️Route: Wuyangcun Metro Station Exit B → Guangzhou Bridge → Ersha Island Hongcheng Park → Haixinsha Park → Haixin Bridge → Canton Tower
PS: This route was just a casual stroll for me, very smooth all the way~ Walking and stopping to take photos, even on the weekend there weren't many people (except in Haixinsha) and it was just right to wander until dusk, then leave from the Canton Tower Station (off to eat).
📸P1-4: After coming out of Wuyangcun Metro Station, locate the 'Democratic Building', walk forward and you can see the side of Guangzhou Bridge, the camera position is right at the bridge entrance~
📸P5-6: After taking the first camera position, walk up the Guangzhou Bridge, cross the Pearl River and you will come to Ersha Island Sculpture Park~ You can take photos of the lawn + Canton Tower + tiny human figures
📸Inside the Sculpture Park is Ersha Island Hongcheng Park (the flowers are not very pretty recently, not suitable for photos); through Hongcheng Park is Haixinsha Park, where there are a lot of people on weekends, everyone is picnicking and flying kites, sitting and chatting is very comfortable, but you need to find the right angle for photos (because of the crowd)
✨During dusk, walking on Haixin Bridge is very romantic and beautiful~ Very suitable for dating haha💗💗
Don't miss the spring in Guangzhou where the paths are blooming with flowers all the way
How can you miss the spring in Guangzhou, with flowers blooming all over the city and the fragrance everywhere,

Worlds BIGGEST water/theme park!
Situated outside the Guangdong city of Zhuhai is Chimelong Ocean Kingdom and boy is this place awesome!
There is a whopping 8 areas to see within the park, all with a different theme. Loads of restaurants and chill out spots for the family and a MASSIVE aquarium area.
Don’t forget, at the end of the day there is a huge show put on including jet skis, water jet pack men, fireworks, drone displays - you name it, they’ve got it. However it is later on in the evening and the little kids may be struggling by this point after a long day of craziness.
Easiest way to travel to the park is shuttle bus from Zhuhai or take a taxi but traffic on the way back can be a little crazy leaving the park (talking from experience 😅) and obviously more expensive.
Have blast!

Shenzhen Window of the World
This afternoon me, my wife and a couple of friends spent a whole day in Window of the World. It's been 7 years since I live in Shenzhen and I've never been here before and to be honestly I should have came before.
The place Itself isn't that worth for the price. Some miniatures already are old and not well cared but some places to play are quite fun!
What I most liked was the the dancing main presentation that happened at 19:30. That one was amazing and made worth the 220rmb paid at the entrance.
My suggestion is go right after lunch, food there is a bit expensive and not that good, better eat outside and keep the day withsome snacks or fast food. Nearby Nicaragua's waterfall has some hamburger that can help to keep full until leave the park for dinner.
The Window of the World, Shenzhen
#shenzhentrip
The Window of the World in Shenzhen is like a global adventure in miniature. It's a fascinating theme park where you can see scaled-down replicas of famous landmarks from all over the world in one place, from the Statue of Liberty to the Pyramids of Egypt.
The park is particularly enchanting at night when these miniature landmarks are beautifully illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere. It's a great spot for evening strolls and taking memorable photos. If you're looking for a unique and visually captivating attraction in Shenzhen, the Window of the World is a must-visit.

I mean, you've got to take some time to stay on this enchantingly beautiful island for a few days, I guarantee it will lift your spirits.
📍Location: Nan'ao Island, Shantou, Guangdong

📷Sharing a few super photogenic spots on Nan'ao Island
1⃣️The first picture, the road leading to the azure sea, navigate to the entrance of Tianyu Mountain Villa, it's even more beautiful in the morning!

If you have the chance, you must self-drive around the island. The scenery along the way is really amazing. When I went there in the summer, I was even lucky enough to see a group of dolphins🐬!
Travel Sharing, Nan'ao Island·3 Days 2 Nights·Non-self-driving Tour Guide
It is recommended to play on sunny days, with a temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius. It is suggested to wear a fleece base shirt with a sweatshirt or sweater, and carry a jacket to deal with the strong wind by the sea.

- High-speed rail: from Shenzhen to Shantou.
- Bus: Take the 161K route (12 yuan) from Shantou Railway Station to the Tourist Center, then transfer to the 601 route (7 yuan) to the Tropic of Cancer Square, and walk to Qing'ao Bay.

Unable to visit Qiaozai Peng and the backyard, but you can see the windmill of Qiaozai Peng at the foot of the mountain.

I really don't regret going to Nan'ao Island this season!
Nan'ao Island is really good for taking pictures
It's winter, it's time to go to some warm islands to renew the summer. Take bus 161k directly from Shantou Railway Station (one bus per hour, grasp the time, we didn't plan well, the time we arrived just left, didn't want to waste time and took a carpool, 30 per person, 50 bargained down, haha really smart)
". Nan'ao Island is quite big and there are many scenic spots. Sisters who are not self-driving are recommended to rent a small electric car. We rented 50 a day and a deposit of 50. The cost performance is super high and the power is very durable. After a whole day of speeding, only two grids are used.
In terms of route, you can follow the navigation around the sea. The more popular lighthouse, bridge, square, lonely tree, and Tropic of Cancer are all on the way.
Because my sisters and I are senior islanders, we didn't take the usual route and took the mountain road in the middle. The view of the sea from the top of the mountain is also unique. We encountered a super photogenic mountain road in the middle. The leaves are dense and the sun is shining. It's great to take pictures. Sisters who have visited the island can hide it.
Pay attention
Pay attention to the sunset time. It's best not to be in the mountains when it's dark. The mountain road is quite dangerous when it's dark, and it's best to get to the beach before sunset. The sunset on Nan'ao Island is really beautiful. It's the kind of beauty that you won't get tired of watching a few times.
About the weather, the perceived temperature is warm, you can wear summer skirts, but when the sea breeze blows over, under the shade of trees and when riding a bike, it's very cold. It is generally recommended to wear early spring and autumn clothes, or summer clothes with a large coat
Trust me, traveling to Nan'ao Island is so wonderful, quickly save this practical guide
On the right is the sea, on the left is a large area of bougainvillea, leisurely and comfortable is my evaluation of Nan'ao Island.
I stayed on Nan'ao Island for 6 days. I planned to stay for three nights before departure, but it was so comfortable that I extended it for 2 nights.
✨I went in early November, you can wear shorts and suspenders, but it is recommended to wear a long sleeve when riding a bike.
✨The temperature is not stuffy, very comfortable, wearing shorts is no problem, you can change into long pants when you go to the beach at night.
⏰Time planning
Nan'ao Island can be finished in two days, if your time is limited, 2-3 days are also OK.
Ps: If you want to find a small island to lie flat and experience slow life, here is really too suitable, cost-effective!!
·
🚗Transportation
1⃣Bus: Route 161 (15 yuan), you can rent an electric bike to go around the island for 60-100 yuan;
2⃣Rent a car: Rent a car from Shantou and drive around the island (highway fee 96)
3⃣Taxi: I don't recommend it personally, the taxi fare is higher, it depends on the individual.
·
🏠Accommodation:
It is recommended to stay near Houzhai Town, it is very convenient to eat, it is a more concentrated town, if you live far away, it is not convenient to eat;
I stayed in a sea view homestay, the cream style is very suitable for young ladies to take pictures together and eat takeout 😂
·
📋Notes for renting a car to go around the island:
✅Start from the south line to go around the island, so you are riding along the seaside, you won't miss any scenery.
✅If you have enough time, you can go around the south line one day and the north line one day, I personally feel that the experience will be better.
✅There are many stalls for renting cars, you can compare and bargain more (I rented for two days, bargained to 50 a day, there is no problem with the battery around the island).
·
💰About the cost
This cost is only my cost in the off-season in November, there are basically no tourists in November.
Accommodation: 500 (this is the price for 5 nights, picture 10 and picture 11 are photos of the homestay, there is a refrigerator and a balcony 😂 I didn't plan to post notes, so I didn't take pictures, the refrigerator is very nice in cream style)
Rent a car: 100
Island bus: 30 (round trip)

My friends thought I had gone abroad, but I am in Guangzhou
Guangzhou, Shamian Island.
It is a sandbar formed by the Pearl River, hence the name Shamian. In the early days, Shamian was an important port in Guangzhou. After a hundred years, more than a dozen countries have set up consulates on Shamian, nine foreign banks, more than forty foreign companies operated on Shamian, and the Guangdong Customs Club, Guangzhou Club and others were established on Shamian. With the changes in modern history, Shamian has become a microcosm of China's modern history and the history of concessions. The European-style buildings on Shamian Island have formed a unique open-air architectural 'museum'.
Surrounded by ancient trees, shaded by green trees, and fragrant with flowers🌸The sun jumps between the leaves, and from time to time you can hear the birds singing🕊Wandering among these colorful ancient buildings🏰Everywhere is beautiful scenery, free and comfortable, lazy and casual.
Every day there are many photography enthusiasts to check in📸Literary and artistic small shops, coffee shops☕️, French restaurants🍽Guangzhou is in a hurry, Shamian is leisurely. Feel the unique Cantonese romance!💕
A historical European oasis in Guangzhou
Shamian Island is my favourite place in Guangzhou and it was my safe haven during my 6 months living there, it was an oasis of calm in such a chaotic city. The Island was divided into concessions given to France and the UK in the 19th century and foreigners lived and worked on the island to help support the export of Chinese products. The island is separated from the mainland by a small river and this created a self contained zone that allowed western nations to establish trade missions without ‘being present’ on the mainland. Ultimately America, France, Holland, Italy, Germany, Portugal, japan and the UK had a presence on the island in big stone mansions along the water.
The buildings now house cafes, restaurants and shops and has become a surreal tourist destination, the buildings lining the street were built in the style of their respective western powers so it feels like you could be in Paris, London or Amsterdam. The buildings are grand and imposing as each nation tried to outdo the other with their architectural styles, leaving tree lined boulevards lined with buildings that stand out against the Chinese city that has developed around them.
You can reach the island via the Huangsha metro station and then walking over an overpass, also many bus routes have stops just outside the bridge that links the island to greater Guangzhou.
I’d really recommend this to anyone living in or visiting Guangzhou who is overwhelmed by the sheer scale and pace of the city, I used to love taking a book or my laptop to the Starbucks and just enjoying the peace.
