At dawn, a professional driver-guide will arrive at your designated location in a comfortable business vehicle to begin this Cantonese journey that blends food and culture.
Our first stop is a special trip to Xihua Road, a paradise for authentic local food lovers, where countless time-honored eateries have been passed down through generations. You are free to sample local delicacies such as the smooth and creamy Shunde double-skin milk, the crispy fish skin of Chen Tianji, and the rich sesame paste (at your own expense), experiencing the true essence of "Eating in Guangzhou" through your taste buds. Our driver/guide will recommend some of the most popular hidden gems among locals.
Afterwards, head to the exotic Shamian Island and stroll along its European-style streets carpeted with fallen leaves. Here you'll find historical buildings such as the Our Lady of Lourdes Church, where Baroque and Gothic styles blend harmoniously. Enjoy a coffee at a Starbucks Reserve or relax on a bench by the Pearl River, capturing the island's unique charm with your camera.
The afternoon itinerary will take you to the 1850 Creative Park, an art space transformed from an old factory, brimming with industrial charm. Here you can visit design studios, purchase unique Cantonese cultural and creative products, or create personalized photographic works against an artistic backdrop.
Finally, we arrived at the Dongshankou area, which exudes an artistic atmosphere and preserves the most complete collection of Republican-era buildings in Guangzhou. Stroll among the red-brick Western-style buildings, explore the independent bookstores and boutique cafes hidden in the alleys, and stop to take photos in front of historical buildings such as Kuiyuan and Chunyuan, feeling the unique marks left by time.
In the evening, a private car will take you back to the designated location, concluding this in-depth tour that blends gastronomy, history, and art. A professional driver-guide will be provided throughout the trip, and the pace can be flexibly adjusted to suit your needs.
