    Huangyao is a truly ancient town, with small bridges, flowing water, and towering ancient trees. The Dragon Claw Banyan is over 800 years old, which is truly awe-inspiring. Fermented black beans are a local specialty and were once a tribute item. It is definitely worth a visit.

    Excellent show! Highly recommended for all ages. We bought the vip tickets, arrived around 12nn to exchange the tickets for the 2pm show. To our surpirse, we were allocated Center seats next to the mobile stage and we were just next to the performers! Check the WeChat schedule for the street performance, something not to be missed!

    The air was fresh, and many locals went to fetch water. You can take an electric cart all the way up the mountain, but to see the waterfall you need to climb up yourself. There are also food options inside the scenic area, and the electric cart service is quite good. The only downside is that the entrance fee seems a bit expensive.

    Definitely worth a visit if you are into wong fei hung. Watched a fabulous lion dance performance and there is also a Confucius temple inside where you can write wishes to throw onto a tree.

    Xiao Huang was absolutely fantastic! Her presentation skills were excellent, the pacing was perfect, and the content was very engaging. Listening to her gave me a much better understanding of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. The explanation included interactive segments and breaks, which was very well planned. The overall time was perfect, not a minute was wasted. It was great and definitely worthwhile.

    Yuexiu Park, located on Jiefang North Road in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, is the largest comprehensive park in Guangzhou and a 4A-level scenic spot. It is known as Guangzhou's "green lung" and "Pearl of the City." It is not only a top choice for citizens' leisure and entertainment, but also a popular tourist destination for visitors, featuring famous attractions such as the Five Rams Statue, Zhenhai Tower, and the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Monument. It's well worth a leisurely visit.

    The Canton Tower is definitely worth a visit; the scenery is beautiful! The weather wasn't great the day I went, but if it had been blue skies and white clouds, the view would have been even more stunning! The only downside is that the 150 yuan ticket only goes up to the 108th floor; you have to buy another ticket to go any higher!
