How much regret can choosing the wrong hotel bring on your first trip to Guangzhou?

👎 My last experience
On my first trip to Guangzhou, I tried to save money and booked a hotel in a remote area.
As a result, I spent over an hour on the subway every day trying to visit places like Beijing Road, Shangxiajiu, and the Pearl River Night Cruise.
Either the destinations were too far, or the traffic was unbearable.
By the time I got back to the hotel, I was so exhausted that all I wanted to do was lie down. I had no energy left to explore, take photos, or truly experience the city.
That trip was a classic case of "being in Guangzhou, but my heart was stuck on the road."

👍 This time, I got smarter
I stayed at 👉 Ailis Shuishanfang｜HONORABLEINCOMPARADBLE Hotel (Beijing Road Provincial People's Hospital Branch),
and finally understood the joy of being in a "prime city center location"!

🚇 The subway station is right next door, making it super convenient to reach Pazhou Exhibition Center, Tianhe CBD, and the train station in no time.

🏙️ Walking distance to attractions: Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, Yongqingfang, and Shangxiajiu are just a few minutes away.

🍲 Surrounded by food: Nearby snack streets and time-honored restaurants offer authentic Cantonese flavors right at your doorstep.

🌃 Night views at your fingertips: A short walk to the riverside gives you a view of the Canton Tower, and arranging a Pearl River night cruise is a breeze.

📸 My three-day photo itinerary

Day 1: Beijing Road Pedestrian Street → Yongqingfang Café → Pearl River Night Cruise in the evening.

Day 2: European-style Shamian Island photo tour → Shangxiajiu Food Street.

Day 3: Romantic photos at Canton Tower + Haixin Bridge → Return trip.

💡 Every attraction was near the hotel, and the time I saved was spent fully enjoying the beauty of Guangzhou.

🏨 The comfort of returning to the hotel

✨ My experience at Ailis Shuishanfang:

🛏️ Suibao mattress + air purifier: A good night's sleep to recharge for the next day.

🚿 Kohler bathroom fixtures + Herborist toiletries: A touch of luxury even while traveling.

🏠 Spacious modern rooms: The room itself became a photo backdrop, with every shot looking like a masterpiece.

💡 The key to travel isn't how far you go, but whether you spend your time on what truly matters.
Staying in a prime city center location is the secret to a relaxed and enjoyable trip.
This time, I made the right choice!
