Things to Do in Guangzhou: New Events & Hot Spots (Updated 2026)

The altar tables in temples are even more interesting than supermarket shelves. Apples, tangerines, and pineapples line up in a row, with a bottle of red soda standing in the middle. First-timers do a double take, while people next to them don’t even look up. 🛕 Erawan Shrine・red soda is standard 📍 Address: Ratchadamri Road, Pathum Wan, Bangkok, next to the Erawan Hotel (opposite Gaysorn Mall) 🎒 What to bring: garlands, a coconut, fruit, plus a bottle of red soda. If you want to be formal, follow the four elements—lotus, water, incense, candles. ✨ Why it’s special: the red soda isn’t a joke—locals really put it on the altar. A row of red bottles squeezed between garlands and coconuts is more memorable than the offerings themselves. 🛕 God of love shrine・the whole table should be red 📍 Address: Rama I Road, Pathum Wan, Bangkok, plaza in front of CentralWorld 🎒 What to bring: a bouquet of red roses, a pair of red candles, three incense sticks, and a bottle of red strawberry soda ✨ Why it’s special: red roses with red candles—and even the soda has to be red. The color coordination is more intense than on Valentine’s Day. 🛕 Guangxiao Temple・offer odd numbers, not even 📍 Address: No. 109 Guangxiao Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou 🎒 What to bring: 3 or 5 apples or tangerines—set an odd number ✨ Why it’s special: one of the oldest temples in the Lingnan region. The old rule favors odd numbers to show single-minded devotion; covering the whole table looks more like moving house. 🛕 Nanputuo Temple・pineapple = prosperity comes 📍 Address: No. 515 Siming South Road, Siming District, Xiamen 🎒 What to bring: one pineapple, with tangerines and apples ✨ Why it’s special: in the southern coastal regions and among Southeast Asian Chinese communities, pineapple is called “ong lai” or “wang lai,” meaning “prosperity comes.” On the altar, the name matters more than the fruit itself. 🛕 Jing'an Temple・apples stand for peace 📍 Address: No. 1686 Nanjing West Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai 🎒 What to bring: 3 apples, washed and dried, don’t peel them ✨ Why it’s special: an old temple in a bustling district. In Chinese, “apple” carries the sound “ping,” which suggests peace and safety; it’s not about price. Leave the peel on to symbolize wholeness. 🛕 Gui Yuan Buddhist Temple・skip the pears 📍 Address: No. 20 Guiyuan Temple Road, Hanyang District, Wuhan 🎒 What to bring: apples, tangerines, or persimmons are fine—pick out the pears ✨ Why it’s special: the Arhat Hall houses 500 arhats. In Chinese, “pear” (li) sounds like “parting,” making it the most taboo item for the altar. Older folks will check their bags before entering. Offerings on the altar aren’t for anyone to eat. They’re your way of saying, “I’m taking this seriously.” Before your next temple visit, check your bag first—bringing the right thing helps more than bringing an expensive one. What offering customs do you have where you live? 👇 ⚠️ These offering tips come from folk customs. Blessings come from your intention, and you’re still responsible for your own life.
