Guangzhou rewards a planned route: the city is large, and the interesting districts are spread out. These five routes are the ones we run most often, each with a realistic half-day or full-day duration.
Highlights
- Heritage half-day: Chen Clan Academy, Shamian Island, Xiguan arcades
- Food route: morning tea, Shunde day trip, evening street food
- Modern Guangzhou: Zhujiang New Town, Canton Tower, Huacheng Square
- Pearl River by night, and a full-day combination route
