Guangzhou

The capital of Guangdong Province and one of the key cities in southern China, Guangzhou is also one of our favorite cities in the country! This is a city of contrasts, where ancient temples stand alongside futuristic skyscrapers, and traditional tea ceremonies take place in the shadow of the "Factory of the World." It's a vibrant, welcoming, and incredibly fascinating metropolis. Exploring the city is always engaging and educational.

- Take a stroll along the Pearl River promenade in the evening and enjoy a night cruise.
- Ascend the Canton Tower for panoramic views.
- Savor dim sum at one of the famous restaurants (such as "Guangzhou Restaurant" or "Tao Tao Ju").
- Bargain at Qingping or Shaomian markets (known for jade products).
- Experience the local charm on Shamian Island, a historic European-style district.
- Visit Baiyun Mountain (White Cloud Mountain) for hiking and city views.
