First time visiting Guangzhou, enjoying a relaxing stay at a five-star hotel!

Two days and one night in Guangzhou: a five-star hotel staycation + visiting must-see attractions!

Day 1: Tianhe District - Modern Cityscape

- 11:20 Depart from West Kowloon High-Speed Rail Station >> 12:10 Arrive at Guangzhou South Station
- Around 13:00 Arrive at the hotel, early luggage storage - W Guangzhou Hotel (~$1300 HKD including breakfast, very luxurious and beautiful, convenient location, friendly staff, an excellent experience!)
- Walk to the Flower City Square area for lunch (make sure to find a handmade dim sum shop to try authentic Cantonese dim sum)
- Take the metro to Beijing Road Pedestrian Street (visit Dafo Temple, Beijing Road Tianhe City) + have an early dinner nearby
- Evening visit to Canton Tower (enjoy the night view - sunset in Guangzhou is at 19:15, basic ticket for visiting time 20:00-22:00). However, be prepared for extreme reflections when looking out from inside the tower :((
- Return to the hotel (10-minute taxi ride)

Day 2: Yuexiu District - Historical Architecture

- Breakfast and indoor swimming at W Hotel (the staff even helped arrange a late checkout, so we could enjoy until 1:00 PM before checking out)
- Take a Didi ride to Liwan Lake Park / Xiguan Mansions for photos
- Yongqing Fang 📸
- Shamian Island 📸 (it feels like being in Europe!)
- Dinner at Guangzhou South Station > 20:21 Return trip (arrive in Hong Kong at 21:22)

(Two people traveling together, average cost per person: 1600 HKD)
