Itinerary

  1. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Memorial Hall

    one hour

    The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Guangzhou is a grand tribute to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of modern China. Built in the 1930s, this striking octagonal building features traditional Chinese architectural elements combined with modern engineering. It stands as a symbol of respect and remembrance for Sun’s efforts in leading the revolution that ended China’s imperial rule. Surrounded by peaceful gardens and statues, the hall also houses exhibitions on his life and legacy, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

  2. Huacheng Square

    one hour

    Located in the city’s bustling Zhujiang New Town, Huacheng Square is a vibrant urban plaza that showcases the modern face of Guangzhou. Surrounded by stunning skyscrapers, cultural landmarks, and green open spaces, it offers the perfect blend of architecture, art, and leisure. Visitors can admire the futuristic Guangzhou Library, the striking Guangdong Museum, and the nearby Canton Tower glowing at night. As the sun sets, the square comes alive with dazzling lights and a lively atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for both locals and tourists to stroll, relax, and enjoy the city’s skyline.

  3. Canton Tower

    one hour Admission not included

    Canton Tower – The Iconic Symbol of Guangzhou

    Soaring 600 meters into the sky, Canton Tower is the tallest structure in Guangzhou and one of the most recognizable landmarks in China. With its elegant twisting design, the tower offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the city from its observation decks. Adventurous visitors can try the thrilling Sky Drop, walk on the glass skywalk, or ride the world’s highest Ferris wheel along the rooftop. At night, the tower dazzles with colorful LED lights, creating a stunning skyline view along the Pearl River. A visit to Canton Tower is a must for anyone exploring the modern beauty and vibrant energy of Guangzhou.

  4. Lychee Bay Scenic Area

    2 hours

    Lychee Bay (Litchi Bay) is one of Guangzhou’s most charming historic areas, where ancient waterways, stone bridges, and traditional Lingnan-style houses create a picture of old Canton life. Once a famous garden area for scholars and nobles, today it’s a lively place where visitors can take a boat ride, watch Cantonese opera, and taste local snacks along the river. Lychee Bay perfectly blends history, culture, and the relaxing rhythm of traditional Guangzhou
