Things to do in Guangzhou

Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park is very interesting, with a wide variety of animals, many of them quite large. The cable car, mini-train, and hiking options are all very convenient. A very satisfying trip.

It was quite fun. Although I didn't ride it, my daughter and her dad thought it was very exciting. However, I feel it's probably not as exciting at night as during the day; you can't see as much at night, so it's not as scary. There were quite a lot of people when we went during the Chinese New Year; we waited in line for over an hour.

I just arrived in Guangzhou and booked a night cruise on the Pearl River a few days ago. I chose the Pearl River Prince ship on the third floor of the Guangzhou Tower Wharf. I was worried because of the constant rain showers, but the weather was kind and the rain stopped before the ship set sail. I enjoyed the scenery along the river and it was definitely worth the trip.

Happy World is perfect for taking the kids! The rides are gentle and fun, the staff are friendly, and the park is clean and tidy. The kids had a great time all day, it's great value for money, and a wonderful place for a family trip.

A truly beautiful sight! The twinkling lights and bustling crowds create a lively atmosphere. The various lanterns, adorned with different shapes and designs, depict plant landscapes, small animals, and other cultural elements, leaving a particularly deep impression.

Chimelong Water Park is the top choice for summer water fun! The giant funnel and rocking roller coaster offer thrilling rides, while the wave pool provides an immersive electronic music atmosphere at night. The water is clean, lifeguards are on duty, and it's a fantastic place to cool off and unwind with friends.

We were a little late, but the guide waited patiently and provided a very detailed and humorous explanation. Through this trip to Guangzhou, we learned about the historical background and cultural significance of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. The children were also very interested and listened attentively.

In 1859, during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, British official Burke proposed setting up a concession in Shamian. The Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, Lao Chongguang, readily agreed, promising that the Chinese side would first excavate a 30-meter-wide, 1200-meter-long canal (today's Shaji Canal) north of Shamian to separate it from the mainland. Two bridges would be built across the canal, one connecting to the west embankment and the other to Shaji Road. Shamian boasts over 160 years of history, and the Shamian West Bridge, the stone steps, the iron cannons, and numerous Western-style buildings are the best testament to this.

I visited the Canton Tower Bubble Tram in the evening and absolutely loved it! ✨The view over Guangzhou was breathtaking, especially with the city lights coming on as it got darker. 🌆I was also pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have to wait in a long queue. Everything was quick and easy.I bought my ticket through Trip.com right before entering, so there was no need to book it far in advance.If you’re planning to visit, I definitely recommend going around sunset or in the evening — the atmosphere and the views are so much more impressive after dark. 🌃

The location is a bit remote, and since birds are generally timid, it's normal that there aren't many birds there. It's a great place for families to watch birds. There are no cages or glass enclosures; you can get up close and personal with the staff.
