2 Days in Guangzhou ?

Guangzhou General Attractions can be divided in two area - Yuexiu ( The Old Town area ) and Tian He ( The New Modern Area )

If you are a first time visitor and a foreign tourist , Yuexiu area would be a lot more attractive with rich culture & History dating back to the Chinese Dynasties ( Ming , Song )

All famous attractions like - Yuexiu Park , Sun Yat Sun Museum , Yong Qing Fang , Chen Clan Academy are on this side !

Now … let’s consider we are tight on schedule and have to spend 2 days ?
