🌸 If you haven't taken the "tram to the flower sea" in Guangzhou in autumn, you really missed an entire romantic season!💗
Starting every October, Guangzhou enters the Bombax flower blooming season. You can take the tram slowly along the riverside, with a sea of Bombax flowers on one side and towering buildings on the other.
A one-way ticket costs only 2 yuan💸, but the scenery outside the window is worth much more than that. Especially when passing the Pazhou Bridge section, pink flowers, river water, Canton Tower, and sunset—all perfectly packed for you!🌅
Don’t just focus on taking photos of the flowers; be sure to go onto the bridge at dusk. Pazhou Bridge is the best spot in Guangzhou to watch the sunset. Golden sunlight spills over the river, Canton Tower is bathed in a golden filter, and at that moment, the whole city feels gentle.
📷 Photography tips:
📸 If you have a telephoto lens, go for 70-300mm for amazing compression effects; smartphone users, don’t hesitate—turn on telephoto mode to capture cinematic shots.
☀️ The best light is around 4 PM when the sunlight is soft and the pink flowers look even more translucent.
🚋 Transportation guide:
Take Metro Line 3 to Canton Tower Station Exit A, then transfer to the tram.
Or take Metro Line 4 or 8 to Wanshengwei Station Exit B, then continue by tram directly to "Pazhou Bridge South Station."
