5 Day 4 Night Guangzhou Getaway in Canton Style

1. Beijing Road Pedestrian Walking Street
Highlights - One of the famous attraction where you can get all the good food and snacks and the famous 大佛寺. Recommend to come at night to see the temple light. The temple is open at night as well for visit
Rating - 4/5

2. Chen Ancestral Hall 陈家祠
Highlights - One of the oldest and biggest ancestral hall for the "Chen Clan" in Guangzhou. Now a musuem and historical site showcasing the then architecture, arts and culture. Recommed to go early to avoid crowd.
Rating - 3.5/5

3. 泮塘历史街区 / 荔湾湖公园
Highlights - Cultural site and Park within the city. About 900 years of history, the whole area was preserved in its original architecture / building and develop into a cultural site. Most of the locals are still living in the site and this is what makes it so attractive. The cultural side is just beside the lake where you can see the greenary and the view. I hope i have more time to explore the whole area. It is about 20mins walk from the Chen Ancestral Hall.
Rating - 4.5/5

4. 永庆坊
Highlight - Another historical area at a stone throw away. Take a stroll along the small river and you can reach the site in 15-20mins. You can find the Bruce Lee Former House in the site as well.
Rating - 4/5

5. 沙面岛
Highlight - One of the most beautiful starbucks in my opinion with touch of the colonial flair. Many colonial building and preserved heritage site here. Good for photo taking! If you like to take photo, i recommed to save 1-2 hours for this location.
Rating - 4/5 (if you like to take photos)

5. 东山口
Highlight - The new "hipster" area where you can find small local brands, chio cafes and vibey place to take photo. There are cute shopa to shop around and i recommed to try take polarid there. They have cute background and they take nice polarid.
Rating - 4/5 (For the hipster)

6. 海心沙亚运公园 / 宏城公园
Highlights - Instead of going to Canton Tower itself, visit the park / garden at 海心沙 opposite of Canton Tower which gives you a good photo spot for the building itself. Best time to visit in Feb / Mar where you have beautiful flower season now! You can take photo with the Canton tower at the background. If you want to take nice photo with flowers, recommend to go during day time. If you want to take the Canton Tower, go during evening time!
