Guangzhou, China skyline: the 39 most iconic buildings and best views in Guangzhou

Canton Tower, Guangzhou, China, is now the second-tallest tower and the fourth-tallest freestanding structure in the world. Many cities have a skyscraper or a tower with observation deck, but Canton Tower outshines them all for its innovative adventures. There is a “bubble tram” at the 460 meter level, where you sit in a ferris wheel type cabin that goes around the top of the tower for 20 minutes. There is also a “sky drop” that’s similar to a vertical drop ride in an amusement park, only that it starts from 485m and drops to 455m.

The Canton Tower formally Guangzhou TV Astronomical and Sightseeing Tower is a 604-meter (1,982 ft)-tall multipurpose observation tower in the Haizhu District of Guangzhou. The tower was topped out in 2009 and it became operational on 29 September 2010 in time to 2010 Asian Games. The tower briefly held the title of tallest tower in the world, replacing the CN Tower, before being surpassed by the Tokyo Skytree. It was the tallest structure in China prior to the topping out of the Shanghai Tower on 3 August 2013, and is now the second-tallest tower and the fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the world.

To Be able to visit in real life is a dream come true 👍🏽 Amazingly breathe taking views

One of tallest tower in China, Also has one of the highest post office located in this tower, most visiting place in China,They have so many shops available.

Great looking building with nice view on top

Rude people seem to pícnic (food included) all over the panoramic windows, so you can´t actually enjoy the view. As many sight seeing spots in China, the large crowds along with the lack of education of many chinese, makes what should be an enjoyable visit, turn into a nightmare.

I visited ten years ago and was blown away by this fantastic architectural masterpiece. Fast forward to 2025 and it basically looks like it's falling apart. Dirty and awful. An absolute shame and discredit to the memory of Zaha Hadid.

Zaha Hadid's master class of modern architecture

Very nice place . You can spend a whole day here to take pictures.

Stunning architectural work by Zaha Hadid

What a beautiful piece of statement by Hadid. The place is clean. The architectural structure is stunning. Well kept. Totally recommend it.

The Guangzhou Opera House is a fascinating example of contemporary architecture. At first glance, its bold concrete forms and exposed surfaces might suggest a touch of brutalism. But the comparison doesn’t quite hold. Brutalism is typically defined by its raw, blocky geometry and utilitarian ethos, whereas the Opera House leans into fluidity and organic design. Zaha Hadid’s vision here is unmistakably modern—almost futuristic. The twin-boulder concept, inspired by river erosion, gives the building a sculptural quality that feels more like nature imitating architecture than the other way around. The use of advanced materials and parametric design techniques places it firmly in the realm of neo-futurism, not mid-20th-century brutalism. So while there are echoes of brutalist aesthetics in the material choices and scale, the overall effect is far more dynamic and expressive. It’s a building that doesn’t just sit in the city—it interacts with it, both visually and symbolically.

It's an unique construction and great place to visit.

This is a lovely temple with huge breezy courtyard . I admire the tall pagoda inside. When I entered the compound, I felt a wave of serenity wash over me. After performing my prayers, I walked around the compound. There are many people sitting around and doing nothing but enjoying the peaceful vibes around them. The entrance to this temple is free and there is a clean, public restroom here as well.

Since AD 537, it burned down & rebuilt during the Northern Song dynasty, when Su Shi composed a poem "Six Banyans" (Liu Rong) in honor of a visit to the temple & since renamed in honor of the famous poem. The Flower Pagoda, main structure of the temple, was built in 1097 & was named for its colorful exterior. The structure that had been there before had a square base, but the Flower Pagoda was designed with an octagonal one. It was rebuilt again in 1373 after another fire in the early Ming dynasty period and restored in 1900...

Beautiful temple. Calm, peaceful, quiet and not overcrowded even on a Sunday morning. No entry fee. Surrounding streets are full of old eateries and shops selling all kinds of clothes, shoes etc for bargain prices.

Visited the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees (Liurong Temple) and really enjoyed it! This Buddhist temple has such a long history, built in AD 537. The atmosphere is super tranquil and peaceful, a nice escape from the busy city. One of the highlights is definitely the massive bronze statue of Buddha, said to be the largest in Guangdong, weighing around 10 tons and dating back to the Qing dynasty. It’s incredibly impressive up close. Overall, it’s a beautiful, serene spot with a lot of history and calm energy — definitely worth a visit.

Really lovely temple, enclosed and quite easy to pass by as it is nestled on a quiet side street far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Lovely temple, and a nice courtyard that is well laid out. Nice and peaceful - and a good place to spend an hour. A hidden gem that is very easy to miss

The temple is full of lotus. The main pagoda is the focus of the attraction. It demonstrates a solemn and sacred atmosphere with Buddha statues.

Very nice and calm location, when visit please keep your voice down. I have sitter myself there to rest and enjoy the breez air and calmness in the garden. Some even bring their own teapot and relax there. Do bear in mind you are not allowed to take photos inside the temple.

The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, also known as the Chen Family Academy, is located on Zhongshan Seventh Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. Construction of the Chen Family Academy began in 1888 (the 14th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign) and was completed in 1893 (the 19th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign). It is one of the largest existing traditional Cantonese buildings and one of the largest, best-preserved, and most exquisitely decorated ancestral halls in China, hailed as a "pearl of Lingnan architectural art." The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall's architectural structure can be divided into three axes and three courtyards, comprising nine halls and six courtyards. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall embodies the pinnacle of Lingnan architectural craftsmanship and decoration. Almost every hall, courtyard, corridor, pavilion, door, window, railing, wall, roof ridge, and beam showcases the superb skills of Lingnan architecture's "three carvings, two sculptures, one casting, and one painting," namely wood carving, brick carving, stone carving, pottery sculpture, plaster sculpture, bronze and iron casting, and painted murals. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is a representative of traditional Lingnan architecture and a concrete manifestation of ancestral hall culture within the Cantonese culture.

The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall in Guangzhou is a highly-rated cultural attraction, praised for its beautiful architecture, intricate carvings, and displays of folk art. Visitors appreciate its historical significance and the opportunity to learn about traditional Chinese art and culture. The hall, also known as the Chen Clan Academy, is easily accessible by metro and offers a peaceful and educational experience.

Besides being a 200-year-old heritage site, it also features a fascinating display of detailed craftsmanship. The entrance fee is 10 yuan, and there is a metro station right at the location.”

A splendid witness to the glory days of the Chen clan in Chaozhou, this ancestral hall (陳家祠） is a labour of love that glows with pride in housing candidates preparing for the Imperial Examinations. Being a Chen of Teochew descent myself, despite being generations and thousands of miles removed, I simply had to take a peek. What started as mere curiosity grew into a historical and cultural adventure. From its intricate carving and moulding works, attention to detail and taste are on full display, complete with copious notes and context so that visitors are left without doubt about the achievements and contributions of this long line of Chens. Artistry, civility, discipline and ethics are demonstrated across a mind-boggling range of materials like porcelain, metals, brick, stone, wood, paints and lacquer work are fashioned into furniture, fittings, walls, gates, arches, roofs, stuccos abd and a variety of ornamental sculptures. Put aside 2-3 hours for this manmade wonder. While rather inconvenient for people with mobility issues, this hall is accessible by public transport and otherwise extremely walkable; walking shoes work best. It gets crowded, even on weekdays, and can be slightly uncomfortable on warmer, more humid days; so dress light.

Try to avoid weekends, alot of people, they may stop selling tickets. We went there on a Monday morning after buying tickets online. Very serene and feel more at ease as there is less crowd. Can engage a tour guide in the hall,this will take you 45 mins. All the written explanations are in Chinese. A beautiful place to enjoy the stone and wooden carvings.

I love to visit old buildings and hear their stories, you can get audio guides or just download audio program here. The carvings are amazingly intricate and beautiful, lucky it was not too crowded to enjoy.

Nice place, mixed ancient Chinese architecture, blending classical Cantonese, Lingnan, and traditional imperial styles into a single amazing complex. Worth visiting.

One ancient looking church in Guangzhou. Many tourists here taking selfie and many dessert shops.

Very big church. Free. Inside has pictures shows difference Binle story

Unfortunately we came here when there was an event and they didn’t allow us to enter so that was quite disappointing 💔 Managed to take some pictures outside and at the gate, though the security guard was extremely rude and kept yelling at everyone to leave. There’s a great dessert store nearby so be sure to check it out!

Very popular tourist attraction, tons of young people taking selfies & photos. At the plaza in front of the cathedral, there are 2 rows of shops selling noodles, sour vegetables & fish soup, snacks, drinks, desserts, etc.

The Guangzhou Sacred Heart Cathedral, with its awe-inspiring architecture and serene ambiance, serves as a tranquil retreat in the vibrant city of Guangzhou. The cathedral's intricate Gothic detailing and towering spires beckon visitors to step back in time and embrace a moment of peace and reflection amidst the bustling cityscape. Stepping inside, the grandeur of the stained-glass windows and the hallowed halls instill a sense of reverence and awe, offering a spiritual haven for all who enter. Whether you seek solace, historical significance, or architectural marvel, the Guangzhou Sacred Heart Cathedral stands as a timeless gem that leaves a lasting impression on all who experience its grace and beauty.

Beautiful cathedral in the middle of Guangzhou, often called the “Stone House.” The architecture feels very European with its twin towers and stained-glass windows, and it really stands out from the modern city around it. Inside is peaceful, quiet, and a nice escape from the busy streets. Even if you’re not religious, it’s worth visiting just to admire the design and atmosphere. The area outside also has lots of small shops and food stalls, so it’s easy to spend a little extra time here. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the city!

worth a visit in the morning, watch out for the hours, if you go too early is closed the gate.

We loved this park, so much to see, lots of really nice walks, really clean. Toilets could of been a bit cleaner but definitely worth a visit. Take a photo of the map as there is only a few dotted around. Goat statue is great and we loved the football stadium nestled in the park!

We only saw a very small part of this very large park Saw the ruined walls, the 5 Ram statue, and the hanging trees - but there really was so much more we could have saw - another time maybe. Enjoyable enough.

Nice park, relaxing environment. Didn't get to explore too much, but caught a group of people singing, a couple people doing an interesting exercise, a school over 300 years old, and even a very friendly and playful stray cat.

A worth visiting place, It’s biggest parking one job and free to enter kids and family will love it so much the nature so nice and clean, there is a boat in small lake.

The park is nice to walk. Many things to see and very big. Take a slow walk and enjoy.

It's huge & It's clearly marked. If u get lost, all u have to do is ask the uncles & aunties for directions eventhou u don't understand the language, they will help u with their hands, legs n mouth. I feel so welcome here.. Thanks China!!

Admission is free. I start from South gate 南门, have searched where it is, there's no directory guide signboard along the way only reached its 'downstairs' flights of staircases. It has souvenirs shop with selling water,drinks. There are many tourists too. Everyone comes here just to view this 5 Goat statue.

Museum which showcases the history of Guangdong, in where you can see art, sculptures, artifacts, boats, architecture and much more. And while I was there they also had a special exhibition on Iranian culture and art. Free entry but you have to apply for the tickets in advance as it can get quite busy. Big museum with many floors - easy to explore and relaxing when taking in all the history and culture. Well spaced out I liked the pottery exhibition the best, found it quite interesting and beautiful to see some of the designs but if I am to be honest I found the museum, as a whole, a but underwhelming. Its good but not quite brilliant. A tad bit boring in places truth be told. Could have emphasized more of the characters and stories behind the history. There are other museums and galleries in Guangdong that I much preferred. Worth a look for sure, but it just didn't float my boat, as they say! (dinosaur and natural history part was closed on the day we were there - which was a pity)

Spent about 3.5 hours here and it was totally worth it — entry is just 10 yuan! If you're a foreigner, make sure to bring your passport or ID to get in. The museum is pretty big, with everything from dinosaur fossils and Bronze Age artifacts to beautiful treasures from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Super easy to get to — just take the subway APM line to Huacheng Dadao Station, Exit B. It's on the same side as K11 Mall and right next to the Guangzhou Library.

This megabuilding looks like rectangular box of bricks with black and red in colors. Be prepared with ID document(passport) for free entry at the west gate main entrance. There are 4 floors with some halls are closed to visitors; howver, it needs at least one hour for quick look up with things( inspired myself) . It’s unfortunate that gallery with Guangzhou natural wildlifes and land are under reconstruction. Nonetheless, its rotation exhibition at my visit is” kingdom of iran, land of sun “ , it’s spectacular. Outside, it’s panoramic view of modern urban architecture of Zhujiang new town.

The Guangdong Museum is a worthwhile and free stop in Guangzhou. It's a huge space with a fascinating collection spanning from ancient history to recent decades. The English audio guide is helpful, though limited. It would be great to see more English descriptions on the exhibits. Definitely worth the time!

I went here on my first day in Guangzhou. The museum is in a good location and the exterior looks very cool. Inside, you get to see the whole history of Guangzhou and the English speaking tour guide i had was very interesting and informative.

For anyone who likes ceramics, porcelains, the exhibition, "The Extremely Beautiful Colors of China: Glazes on Porcelain" is already well worth the visit. Featuring over 200 pieces of porcelain from the Guangdong Museum's collection. Entrance is free, ensure your passport is with you before going.

Another museum. If you a museum enthusiast, you might find this museum huge and a lot to check out? But if you a casual stroller? Meh!! 😑 The Guangdong Museum[2] (Chinese: 广东省博物馆) is a general museum of art, nature, culture and history in Guangzhou. It covers both local art and artifacts from the Guangdong province as well as general Chinese art. There are two separate buildings. The building which housed the original National Sun Yat-sen University became the Lu Xun Memorial Hall and contains an exhibition of objects related to Lu Xun and some other intellectuals who influenced Chinese modernization and indirectly prepared the way for the communist revolution. The newer building to the right was initially built in 1957–1959 and greatly enlarged in 1992. It contains several distinct exhibitions and has notices in English. In the historical exhibition of "Chaozhou wood carving", on display are screens and other objects elaborately carved in wood as well as an explanation of the history and different techniques used in the art.

Came here in December and the weather is sunny. A big park with beautiful flowers 💐 and you may take the cable car to the summit to enjoy the view of Guangzhou city. There are a few spots at the summit where you can explore by taking the shuttle buggy with minimal fare.

If you don't have all day or don't want to sweat a lot here's a tip: starting from the west gate, take 2 different buggy cars up to the peak.. then take another buggy to the south gate, or by the cable car Very nice place to have a picnic and strolling

A few ways of entering, we went from the north entrance and left by the south. Very interesting place to wander around and hike for a full day - lots of lovely trees, flowers and foliage, great views from the top of the city of Guangzhou, and also a chance to hike to Moxing Summit, the highest point in Guangzhou - and if you are tired by this stage - we were - can get an elevator back down the mountain! Plenty of chances to sit and relax and take it all in, or also to have some food and drinks as there are quite a few eateries and restaurants dotted all around. Well worth a visit - good exercise, good fun.

🌿 Baiyun Mountain (White Cloud Mountain) – Guangzhou's Urban Oasis 🏞️ Just a short trip from the heart of Guangzhou, Baiyun Mountain is the perfect escape from the city buzz. 🏙️➡️🌳 ✨ Why go? Breathtaking views over the skyline (especially at sunset 🌇) Peaceful trails through lush greenery 🌲 Scenic spots like Moxing Summit & Yuntai Garden 🌸 Cable cars, lakes, and even monkeys 🐒 🎟️ Entrance is affordable, and you can choose to hike or take the cable car for a chill ride up. 📸 Pro tip: Go early to beat the crowds and catch that golden morning light! ☀️ 💬 “Baiyun” means White Cloud – and when the mist rolls in, it truly feels like walking in the sky. ✅ Perfect for: nature lovers, casual hikers, photographers, and anyone needing a recharge.

We visited Baiyun Mountain during our time in Guangzhou, and it turned out to be a wonderful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s about a 30-minute ride from the city center, and once you arrive, you’re greeted by clean air, lush greenery, and a calm that’s hard to find in urban areas. The mountain is sprawling with several entry points and hiking trails, suitable for both casual walkers and serious hikers. We took one of the electric shuttle buses up and enjoyed the scenic ride. Along the way, we spotted various gardens, small temples, and scenic pavilions. The view from the top, especially from Moxing Ridge, was stunning—offering a panoramic look at Guangzhou and the Pearl River. What stood out most was how relaxing the whole environment was. Families were out picnicking, people were practicing tai chi, and others were just soaking in the serenity. There were cafes and drink stalls at intervals too, which made it easy to take breaks. Overall, Baiyun Mountain is a great place to recharge, take in some nature, and enjoy peaceful surroundings just a short distance from the city. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Guangzhou.

The best place to visit and see the full of Guangzhou... It's worth it especially when the weather is clear

Hike up to Baiyun Feisuo and it’s an exhilarating experience going down - 1,500m of Zipline. You probably reach the end point before you realised it. So appreciate the nature.

What are the main attractions within Huacheng Square? Key attractions include the Canton Tower, Guangzhou Opera House, Guangdong Museum, Guangzhou Library, and the Children's Palace, all surrounding the vast pedestrian plaza with its parks and ponds. Huacheng Square was established in 2010 in anticipation of the 2010 Asian Games, since then it has become a regular venue for special events and festivals including the Guangzhou International Light Festival held in November. South of Huangpu Avenue, Zhujiang Tower CBD, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, 510630.

The square is 2km long, has a lot of iconic views and a grande shopping centre underneath

Visited on May 10, 2025. Free to visit this area. Normally people visit at evening to chillout and enjoy night lights. This square is really big and can spend 1-2hrs just roaming and chilling out. It has Haixinsha Island to its south and Huangpu Avenue to its north. Guangzhou Opera House, Guangdong Museum and Guangzhou Library, Guangzhou Children’s Palace are also located around the square. On the surface the square, it is pedestrian area with parks, ponds, fountain and free of vehicle traffic. In the evening, this place becomes one of most visited places by locals and tourist both as the view of the Canton Tower and the tall buildings surrounding the square with all the colorful light decorations becomes very beautiful. In the underground, it has the Guangzhou APM lines with its four stations. Also located beneath is the Mall of the World shopping center, bus stations and metro stations.

Huacheng Plaza is the largest CBD in South China. The Guangzhou Tower is tall and majestic, and you can also see the bustling city of the office building.

One of the premier spots to see the Guangzhou tower. It looks great during the day but it looks even better at night when the changing lights completely light up the tower along with the surrounding buildings all having lights. Bad weather affects the view during the day but not so much at night. Must visit

A wonderful serene park with beautiful ponds, little bridges and greenery, takes 30 min to walk it all. Not crowded. Makes you feel very zen. Good view of the Canton Tower. There a tons of dining and shopping option in the underground mall.

Nice neighborhood, good food.

I took an evening river cruise when I was in Guangzhou recently and it was an amazing experience. I got my tickets at the counter located near the base of Canton Tower. The crew here was very helpful and polite and they spent time answering questions from tourists about the cruise itself. After getting the ticket, I was directed to the pier which is less than 10mins walk from the ticket counter. Despite the large crowd, the team at the pier was efficient and got all of us boarded quickly. Light refreshments was served onboard during the cruise. I sat at the top, open deck. The boat moved slowly to give us plenty of opportunity to take pictures of the night view and lights from both sides of the river. It was such an enjoyable experience and fun way to explore the city.

Took the cruise on the Pearl River, the 3rd largest river in China, from Tianzi wharf. As we set sailed at 8pm, we chose to sit at the open area. As we sailed along, we saw historical sites, unique architecture, Canton tower. The surrounding buildings and bridges were all lighted up. Very impressed by the LieDe Bridge. We took lots of photos and videos

You are a fool if you don’t take a night-time river cruise when in GZ. The light show from numerous buildings, bridges and boats is amazing!! The boat itself is a bit underwhelming but I don’t think any of the other choices are better. The boat is clean and the staff pleasant but the food options are limited and below average and the drinks are OK. is OK; drinks OK. A continuous loud commentary dominates the air. Really there is the potential here to have devices that you control to learn what you want (culture/history/ architecture …) in your preferred language or a chat with your friends or contemplative music. Cocktails and a much more interesting food list would really add to the experience. The different decks could be used more creatively - food floor; dimly lit floor to give the lights outside their full potential; even dancing on the stage could be an option. Kids friendly zone with a child minder or games; river/boat toys? Many possibilities.

During my visit to Guangzhou, I took a river cruise that was truly amazing. The sunset was breathtaking, painting the sky with vibrant colors. As night fell, the city came alive with dazzling lights reflecting on the water, showcasing Guangzhou’s beauty in a whole new light. Although we arrived a bit late and missed out on the dinner option, the cruise itself was unforgettable. If you’re ever in Guangzhou, I highly recommend this experience for its stunning views and the serene ambiance

Nice place to watch the night scene of Pearl River, tickets are not cheap, at rmb160 per adult (deck price) with tea and snack provided. Everyone need to run through security check before on board. Would recommend to standby jacket if you worry on cold wind, if you are not going to deck, then it is ok. It would be even more interesting if you have local to show or share with you the history / story of each building or area to make your trip more memorable.

An amazing river cruise experience with cool breezes and stunning views of the city illuminated by vibrant LED lights.

Very nice night cruiser tour at this river!

I came by here after leaving the Temple Of Six Banyan Trees as it is within walking distance for me. This is a very popular temple and it is full of visitors and devotees. Everyone brought flowers for their prayers. The grounds are huge and each building is well spaced with large trees casting nice shades everywhere. I explored and offered my prayers in many of them. Although there is a huge crowded, there wasn't much noise as everyone was carrying on in respectful tones.

This place is absolutely worth the extra effort to get to. First of all, it appears less crowded than other similar places. Second, it offers a free audio guide in English, allowing you to understand what you’re seeing. Lastly, this place is alive—people come here to worship, so please be respectful.

Nice temple in Yuexiu district near the Ximenkou metro station. The temple is well maintained and preserved as one of the oldest temples in Guangzhou. Do visit if you have some time during your trip to Guangzhou.

Entrance fee for 5RMB, and visit 6th century once royal temple. There is a good history regarding a highly reputable monk who had his ordination here, right between the pagoda and Bodhi tree.

A bigger temple than Temple of the six banyan trees. Very airy and tranquil. Paid 5 or 10 yuan for the entrance fee. A temple where the locals come. This temple seemed popular with the locals but it is also perceived as more ritualistic. There are many eateries outside the temple which serve good local food.

IG: iamcynditravel 小红书: cynditravel Fb: Cyndi_Travel Everyone should pay a visit here since it is one of the historic sites in Guangzhou. This place is just a quick visit, we only spent about 10 to 20 minutes here but you can prefer to stroll around here for a longer period.

A very beautiful temple. It has statues of Buddha, laughing Buddha, some mythological dieties. It has another hall with a beautiful temple with several thousands of Buddha on the wall.

Great place. Huge library. Lots of selections for books.

Nestled in the bustling city of Guangzhou, the Guangzhou Library stands as a beacon of knowledge and architectural brilliance. Boasting modern glass structures that gleam under the sunlight, this library is a sight to behold for anyone seeking inspiration and tranquility amidst books and innovative design. Upon entering the Guangzhou Library, visitors are greeted by a vast expanse of knowledge, with endless rows of books and resources waiting to be explored. The seamless blend of glass and contemporary design creates a space that is not only visually stunning but also conducive to learning and discovery. The interior of the library is thoughtfully designed, with spacious reading areas, cozy nooks for quiet contemplation, and state-of-the-art facilities that cater to the needs of every visitor. Whether you are a bookworm seeking a new literary adventure or a student in search of information, the Guangzhou Library offers a welcoming environment that fosters a love for reading and research.

It’s a library. That looks absolutely stunning on the outside, and is massive on the inside. But not many English resources, if any, and requires a valid local phone number for Wi-Fi access. Unless you have a reason to be here, it is not a tourist attraction within. But it does directly connect to the Guangzhou Metro underground.

This is the firm evidence that chinese government giving the priorities for reading as knowledge of the universe. The buidings consist of two ones adjoining at the center to be north snd south building . There are many activities to do there such as periodicals and newspapers from all over the world, facilities for visual handicapped. There is also Virtual gadget for entertaining your reading too.

It's a huge library and very modern. One of the best library I had ever been.

Excellent large modern and stylish library. Has 8 floors with a huge central atrium. Free to enter with a security check first. The young kids section is on the second floor. Well worth walking through at the very least. The elevators look over the atrium too. It seems to be open till about 10pm. There are also book sterilising machines on the ground floor!

An amazing library. Most of the books are in Chinese so be aware of that (but I guess it only makes sense). The maker space on the (8th?) floor is something you have to check out.

It's a different kind of attraction where one can find the different avenues of ancient Chinese culture. It has wide canvases of different dynasties' paintings and also artifacts from the past. They have also preserved some old houses and some scholar's works. The goldfish in the pond are huge while the turtles are active.

Really worth the trip heading there and paying the tickets. I went during weekday, Monday. There literally few people there which made it easy for pictures and peace to take pictures and many more. Highly recommend to check it out. Lots of places to sit and rest. Lots of check points for cold ice creams or drinks and trash bins are in every corner.

Been here last August 2023, the garden was awesome. It feels like you travel back in time due to old Chinese architectures. Inside have souvenir shops so you dont need to go outside to buy gifts. Dont mind fixers outside who will offer you various things or services. But overall, I highly recommend it.

Baomo Yuan (Baomo Garden)(宝墨园) is a Lingnan-style (嶺南) garden in Guangzhou, China. The garden features common elements of Chinese garden architecture such as ponds, bridges, pavilions, rocks, stone boats, towers, corridors. There is a housed display of Chinese paintings of Apsara, Buddha, Guanyin, Bodhisattva (仙女, 佛, 觀音, 菩薩）. Imitation of wall drawings of the same from the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang (敦煌莫高窟）. There are also the porcelain relief "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" (清明上河圖）listed in the Shanghai World Guinness Book of World Records, and the giant brick sculpture "Tuyan Hemingbi" （Wall of Flowers and Birds) (吐艷和平嗚壁）and other attractions. A building dedicated to the criminal cases of Justice Bao Zheng (包拯), such as the “Executing Chan Shimei” (鍘陳世美案）; “Caning the royal Dragon Robe of Emperor Renzong of Song” (打龍袍）; “Impeachment of the father-in-law Zhang Yaozuo of the Emperor “ (怒彈劾國丈張堯佐）. Baomo Garden was built in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) as an extension of the Temple of Lord Bao (包公廟）located to the east of the garden. The Lord Bao Temple was built during the reign of Emperor Jiaqing (嘉慶皇帝）of Qing Dynasty to praise Lord Bao Zheng of the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) and his qualities of incorruptibility and justice. The garden was destroyed in the 1950s during the Cultural Revolution. Reconstruction work began in 1955 and last for many years. The entrance fee is CYN 54 for adults. Opening hours from 8:30 to 17:50 daily. To get there from Foshan city, take bus 314 from Shunde Bus Station to the garden.

It’s a very beautiful garden with a lot of traditional features and also collections is good to have a day trip here with family , you can feed fishes here

impressive garden with preserved architecture and historical culture! i came here in the summer, so it was pretty hot and humid and since there were small rivers, there was lots of mosquitoes so make sure to bring a repellent they also have han fu (traditional chinese clothing) rentals which comes with the makeup, photographer and the costume. overall, very nice♥️

This is easily the best garden around this region compared to other regional gardens. If you have limited time to visit 1 garden, this is the place to visit.

The site is very near Beijing Road. Is an interesting place to visit if you want a break from shopping or need a place to hide from the sun or rain. Is totally free, just need to show your passport to the security to enter. Is good to have a whisper ($30rmb)to explain the different areas but is all in Mandarin. They do have explanation written in English too.I am amazed to know how smart the ancient people (2000 yrs ago) in planning the water drainage system. Is an eye opener as I walked through the excavation.

Free and interesting. Passport required. 3 floors of antiquities and there are English translations for most displayed text. There's an undercover section with excavations showing ancient paving and building footings. Clean facilities and pleasant gardens surround.

A very large museum that is more than just a tomb. There are several buildings in the facility with many exhibits. Expect to spend a few hours in here. Free admission, with a paid VR attraction available. Reservation is required unless you have a foreign passport, in which case you’d check-in at the front desk.

Hmmm… go if you have time in GZ. Whilst it’s a nice museum, it’s still under renovation & the lack of signages in this museum makes walking around confusing - there are multi buildings to walk around & no proper signages. Nothing like the famous terracotta museum in Shanghai. It’s FREE for tourists with passports. Not for kids; they will be bored

Must visit whilst in Guangzhou. You will be surprised that Guangzhou has a 2000 year old archaeological site right in the middle of the city. Besides the actual burial tomb you get to learn about the Southern Yue kingdom (2000Bc) which lasted to the middle Han dynasty. There are separate rooms for artifacts arranged by theme such as burial funery including human sacrifices, war implements, lots of jade, crafts of all kinds. There is even a temporary exhibition on ‘pillows’ through the Chinese ages - very interesting and beautiful. A little bit of outdoor walking. The whole place is air conditioned. Tips - 1 take line 2 (blue) to Yuexiu park, exit E and turn right and walk 100 m. - 2 bring your passport. 65 and above is free - 3 Download Google translate. There are no English headsets and limited English plaques. Lots of good and detailed explanations in Mandarin. - 4 come at opening time as it is very popular with locals. - 5 Expect to spend at least 60 mins and there are no food or drinks

Great historical site to visit while in guangdong. The place showcased the history of guangdong and showed why the city was named the city of wells in the past. Insightful and educational. All the exhibits’ explanation was in Chinese and i thought that’s not really tourists friendly. But I saw some Caucasians using the headsets for the explanation. I believed if you cannot understand Chinese, headsets with prerecorded commentary are available. Quite a big area and apparently, the entire place is still work-in-progress. Entry is free just that foreigners will need to register at the counter with their passports. One can spend about 2-3 hours at this tourist spot depending on how detailed you want to see and understand. Will recommend this site for history enthusiasts.

IG: iamcynditravel 小红书: cynditravel Fb: Cyndi_Travel This is a great museum to visit, and is one of our favourite museums in Guangzhou. You will find archaeological sites of an ancient garden here along with the footings of the palace in this museum along with tonnes of artifacts. You will also get to witness the replica garden of the archaeological site at it's outdoor area whereby the museum is trying to trace how the garden will look like in the past based on the archaeological details they found within. It's a great place, and a great experience to witness archaeological sites.

I would advise tourists to come with a tour guide. A tour guide will be able to explain clearly the different displayed artifacts at the Chen Clan Academy. It will cost more than the museum ticket but will definitely be worth the extra cost.

It's a bus stop!

Decent water park with decent price, however if you weight more than 100 kilos dont even bother, they wont let you enter any attraction

This park is legitimately one of the best water I visited. No matter kid or adult also can have a lot of fun. We came on a rainy day not so much people. Park is well organized.

2025 August 4.5★ One of the best water parks out there. Lots of great rides. Rides which are different from just a roller coaster style. Rides which are unique. Very good. Safety is top of mind for the staff. Limits on weights are enforced. If you weigh too little or too much, you can't go on. However, if it's a group ride, you can find others. Food and even entertainment was great. Just spectacular - no kidding. Check out the pictures. If you are here, you should definitely go. Would recommend. Would come again.

Wow Is the most incredible experience, incredible food, the slides and all the attractions are very cool my advice is to go during the week there are not so many people to wait to get on the slides. Also at night they perform an electronic music show and it is incredible, one of the best I have seen

One of the best water parks I’ve ever been to! The rides are super fun, the place is very clean, and everything feels safe and well managed. Great vibes all around — perfect for a full day of excitement and relaxation. Totally worth it!

Went here before covid. Surprising the wait isn't that long when compared to other places in US that I've been. I wished I could visit there again

Wonderful place. Very big place with many games, each one more beautiful than the other.

Lots of cheap and usefull items for hand gifts and merchandises....good to practice your bargaining skills. The downside is that (if you are foreigners) chinese language would be an advantage...though small number of merchants do speak little english...

The prices were fair, although I expected them to be a bit better. The place has almost everything for everyone — electronics, home items, kitchenware, gifts, stationery, bags, and much more. It’s a great spot to pick up gifts, and the food court is a nice addition. Since the store has multiple floors, you’ll need to set aside some time to shop properly. Overall, a good place with a wide variety of options.

My favourite household shopping mall OneLink 万菱广场! I absolutely love browsing all the teapots and accessories couldn’t resist and ended up bringing one home! 🫖 my Aunt went all out too, buying loads of household items. We definitely spent too much time and money here… but so worth it! 😂 A must-visit if you love homeware shopping. #OneLinkGuangzhou #万菱广场 #HouseholdHeaven #TeapotLovers #ShopTillYouDrop #GuangzhouShopping #HomewareFinds #FamilyShoppingFun #TooGoodToResist

I visited the store mentioned in this image for electronics and they turned out to be super violent. They first tried to convince me to guy the product and later made me wait there while more customers came in and went. These two men who belong to the store later closed the shutter on my head and also tried to snatch my phone while I was waiting for another person at their store while they were delaying me. Once u was about to buy the product they said the product is not in stock and they don’t have even after confirming earlier that they have the stock of goods. The store is on 1st floor and number is A11. Highly recommend to not interact with them especially international shoppers. They sell electronic goods and will tell you they have the stuff and make you wait and then later tell you they don’t and will offer display items.

Interesting mall near the Landmark Hotel selling toys and home accessories Opposite the mall many shops selling traditional herbs and nuts

A huge mall to sell gifts, toys, souvenirs and accessories. Usually selling in bulk discount.

Endless shops selling all sorts of figurines, toys, consumer electronics and water bottles in all shapes, sizes and variations. Great if you are buying loads of gifts to bring back home cos they sell them wholesale.

Beautiful garden, clean and tidy to enjoy a nice walk to smell flowers and fresh air near to city.

Lovely place for a relaxing work whike filling your eyes with the wonderful xolours in nature. Take a walk up into the hill, going through the stairs on your left and you are immediately enveloped by natural forest. There are well thought out rest stops along the way where you can stop to catch tour breath and now listen to the coice of nature - the birds. Getting down, you can walk by the lake and visit the beautifully designed Roman looking architecture and take some stunning pictures.

If you are in town during late January the flowers are gone wild beautiful. Weather is really mild

Beautiful garden but it can get very hot in summer.

Love the maintenance of this park, worth visiting place. Entry fee is 10 RMB, mostly newly married couple visit for their photoshoots very nice and view is unbleaveable

An amazing place to visit with family and friends. Those who love the outdoors, plants and flowers. I would highly recommend this place to visit.

Really beautiful..good collections of flower of plants both tropical and temperate types..relaxing after passing by one of the most populated and busiest city

I have visited this area a few times and every time I experience something new and something exciting - Bruce Lee's family home is near, also the Opera Museum is close, and along the winding canal and amongst the side streets you can see a lot of street art and hip shops, cafes and the odd bar selling craft beers. A real cool and relaxed vibe going on here.

Yongqingfang is such a fun and vibrant place to explore! The street perfectly blends traditional Lingnan architecture with a modern vibe. You’ll find everything from trendy stores to cozy cafes and great restaurants. The highlight for me was the bridge at night. When it lights up, the reflections in the water look like a glowing crescent moon hanging over the canal. It’s super romantic and perfect for photos. You’ll also see lots of people dressed in traditional Chinese outfits, which really adds to the charm and atmosphere. Definitely my favorite place in Guangzhou!

Lovely atmosphere at night, lots of good food here too. I would suggest Ah Ma handmade drinks, tofu ice cream which is really good. Explore the others too! You can snap some good photos at night.

Came here to pay respect to the dragon ! 🐉🐲 Lots of walking & photographs taking ! Mood is good ! As it is a sunny day. 老街！老店 ! 老饕 !

A very nice place to hang out. There are so many cafés and restaurants around the area, and there’s also a beautiful bridge. Come at night the place is really lively!

Yongqing Fan is located around Huangsha Station line 1 and can be reached by a short walk. There are charming tea houses, sampling local desserts, and browsing creative Cantonese cultural heritage crafted by skilled craftsman. You can find all kinds of arts, pottery, jewelry. Both modern and Classic.

Yongqingfang is a must-visit in Guangzhou—perfect for a leisurely stroll, delicious eats, and unique shopping! The blend of historic charm and modern vibes makes it ideal for snapping Instagram-worthy shots at every corner. Whether you’re here to explore, indulge, or just soak in the atmosphere, this place delivers

Note that this museum is housed in the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall—they are one and the same despite Google showing them as separate locations. The period room displays are the most interesting here.

Immerse yourself in the intricate tapestry of Guangdong's folk art and cultural heritage at the Guangdong Folk Art Museum. This treasure trove of craftsmanship and cultural relics offers visitors a captivating glimpse into the rich traditions and artistry of the region, showcasing a diverse range of exhibits that highlight the ingenuity and creativity of Guangdong's artisans. From delicate porcelain masterpieces to elaborate woodcarvings, each artifact on display tells a story steeped in history and tradition, making a visit to the Guangdong Folk Art Museum a truly enriching and inspiring experience for art enthusiasts and cultural connoisseurs alike.

Excellent historic places to visit with porcelain work n wood n marble crafting work

i hadn’t entered into the museum, because dont feel it’s attractive enough for me to pay for the entrance. BUT, i DO enjoy the little adventure i had when i was navigating my way to the museum. I wont tell you that I had my haircut here, cost me @10RMB, and the result met my requirement….Support local💖🥸

This is the Chen clan ancestory hall.

Great museum, good craft shops at the end. Incredible sculptures.

Ok

visited Canton Tower in early October, and the heat was absolutely brutal (felt like 34^{\circ}C-36^{\circ}C!). Despite the weather, the building itself is magnificent and truly awe-inspiring both day and night. ​If you have to choose, definitely visit after 7 PM when the tower's colorful, changing lights turn on. The light show is incredibly beautiful. This landmark symbolizes Guangzhou perfectly. Fortunately, there are plenty of spots around the base to sit down and just take in the dazzling view of this architectural marvel. Highly recommended!

The Canton Tower in Guangzhou is seriously next-level! 🚀 Towering over 600 meters into the sky, it’s not just one of the tallest towers on the planet—it's an absolute icon of the city, and the views from up top are totally jaw-dropping. I kicked off my adventure on the observation deck and, wow, the 360° panorama of Guangzhou is insane! The best part? Watching the cityscape and sparkling Pearl River as the sun dips below the skyline. Come sunset, those city lights hit different. The tower’s super sleek, modern design was giving major futuristic vibes, especially as I wandered around at the top. Night cruises on the Pearl River are also amaaazing—the bridges light up and turn the whole city into a glowing spectacle ✨. The LED light show on Canton Tower itself is, literally, a must-see (seriously, your pics will pop off on social media!). Highlights: • Epic 360° views from the observation deck • Adrenaline-pumping skywalk and glass floor (go on, test your nerve!) • Stunning LED light show every evening • Basically unlimited insta-worthy selfie spots Travel Hacks: • Time your visit for sunset—the city is pure magic then 🌆 • Snag your tickets online via trip.com to dodge those long lines • Definitely bring your camera or get your phone charged; every angle is a flex Need-to-Know Info: • Address: No.222 West Yuejiang Road, Zhuhai District, Guangzhou, China • Admission: ¥135.0 • Summer Hours (Jul 5–Aug 24): Mon-Fri 09:30–22:30 (last entry 22:00); Sat-Sun 09:00–22:30 (last entry 22:00) • Fall-Winter Hours (Aug 25–Dec 31): 09:30–22:30 (last entry 22:00) Bottom line: If you’re hitting up Guangzhou, do NOT skip Canton Tower. Whether you go by day for those clear skyline shots, or at night for the dazzling lights, this place is pure epic—unforgettable vibes guaranteed!

I visited Canton Tower for the second time on 14 April 2025, and it was just as breathtaking as my first visit back in November 2023. This landmark is truly one of the most iconic and beautiful places in Guangzhou, China-a must-visit spot for tourists and photography lovers. The tower offers incredible views of the city, especially in the evening when the lights come on. The vibrant atmosphere around the tower, with the Pearl River flowing nearby, adds even more charm to the experience. Whether you’re going up to the observation deck or just enjoying the scenic surroundings, it’s always worth the trip. I captured some amazing photos during my visit-the design, lighting, and skyline views are simply unforgettable. Canton Tower remains one of my favorite places in Guangzhou, and I highly recommend visiting it more than once if you get the chance. A perfect blend of architecture, technology, and culture-truly a symbol of modern China.

Had an amazing experience visiting Canton Tower. Although the lines were quite long, the queuing process was well-organized and moved quickly. The Sky Drop was an absolute thrill — an unforgettable experience for adventure seekers. The Bubble Tram also had a long queue, but it was definitely worth the wait. The panoramic skyline view from the top of the tower was exceptional and truly breathtaking. Overall, my visit to Canton Tower was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Guangzhou.

The Canton Tower is 600 meters high. As a visitor you can go to different heights, for different prices, up to 488 meters. It's best to reserve online and then pick up at the ticket desk. Unfortunately, due to maintenance, the upper decks are closed. Impressive views.

A 600m tall multipurpose observation tower in Guangzhou that serves as a major landmark and tourist attraction. It features multiple observation decks, including an outdoor one, Restaurants, thrill rides and a hotel. Is situated on the banks of the Pearl River, at an intersection with Guangzhou's new urban center.

Great view of Guangzhou from 450m high on the open top viewing platform, but it would be better without the bubble cars running around on the outside. Great sunset.

Very big exhibition hall. Very clean.

I came here for the Canton Fair, and even by Chinese standards, it's impressive. Things are well run and organized, signs are well posted (in English as well), and the exhibition halls are enormous but easy to navigate.

It is a really big fair, take care to have always a map with you otherwise you will get lost. In any case it is a good and interesting fair to find new products and suppliers.

One of the bigest exhibition center in the world. Well organized place and provid goog facilites for visitors.

The best trade fair I have ever visited. Well laid out and ventilated. Clean. Cleàr maps and courteous officials.

Too damn big. Wear the most comfy shoes.

Very big and very large gathering for canton fair phase 2 2019

Very crowded but there are so many stores that you can choose. The food is superb and there are an iconic temple in the middle of beijing road.

It was raining when I visited but it was still a beautiful pedestrian street to walk through with lots of shops and food options to choose from. The streets are beautifully decorated and the overall atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming.

One of the most prosperous pedestrian streets in Yuexiu district. There are many shopping malls, Restaurants, cafes. Can get various kinds of clothes and tasty delicious local food. Remember to visit a thousand year old lane and an ancient building.

This is definitely the busiest place to be around. There are so many sales and the people are so welcoming. You can get most things there... also a pharmacy to get your meds.. I believe they spoke in Cantonese. So google translator is a need. Oh ya, you can use Google translator as well to take a picture of the product. It will translate them words... although you need to have VPN to use it. Best time to visit is definitely at night. Because you want to see the roads that emperor and ancient Chinese pedestrian used to walk on in the past. Taking pictures during the day might or might not be a good idea due to the light reflection. If you explore a bit further down, you'll come across a large Buddhist temple.. they're magnificent to look at.. once again at night. Becareful where you walk and stand - they're people who will spray on your shoes to promote their products. Just don't be surprised.

Outstanding locality full of tourist and friendly people..it's magical at night

What a fascinating time to spend in the one of the most busiest road in guangzhou. There was lots of shops and traffic just like shinjuku. It cant be done by a day since the street was huge and full of people. The vibrant atmosphere and the unique per shop decoration was amazing

This is a must visit place in Guangzhou as it offers so many things to see, shop and eat all day long. There are so many shops offering a wide range of merchandise and products that surely there be something to suit you and family. Besides these, there are also lots of major shopping malls, supermarkets, eateries and restaurants to tie you down! There are so many vibes and vibrancy here and no surprise why there are crowds of people all day long! One can simply half or a full day here to shop until you drop, eat and shop again. Of course if you are into culture or religious, there's a huge buddhist temple here (I will review this place separately later). Recommended.

A Truly Grand Experience at the 137th Canton Fair! I had the amazing opportunity to attend the 137th Canton Fair at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. This massive venue is world-class – modern, clean, and exceptionally well-organized. The sheer scale of the complex is mind-blowing, and it’s designed perfectly to handle the global crowd that attends each session. From high-tech electronics to innovative household items, every hall was filled with energy, innovation, and endless opportunities. The layout made it easy to navigate, and signage in both English and Chinese helped a lot. I also appreciated the helpful staff and the convenience of services like food courts, lounges, and shuttle transport between halls. I’ve captured some amazing moments and architecture through my camera – the vibe and structure of this complex truly represent China’s global trading power. If you’re in international business or sourcing products, attending the Canton Fair is a must! 📍Highly recommended for entrepreneurs, imports, exporters, and business explorers from around the world.

The 136th Canton fair is very well organised and there are so many opportunities over here... people from all over the world have come here to seek business opportunities.

I like this because every time I come here I will get a new supplier or a new idea..

Great place for sourcing products from factories at great prices but at specific quantity assigned by them. You'll even find so many new items & new innovations are displayed there. Too many halls to visit, but worth the visit, even if you don't want to buy just visit to get an insight of what's there in the global market.

A nice venue showcasing Chinese made novelty items, encompassing different categories. Huge turnout of foreign and local visitors.

Canton fair is the best expo place with lot of display shops .one week is not enough to visit all the shops.

A must for anyone who wants to get an impression of the mood among the Chinese export industry.

I like it. The mall isn't very big, and not very crowded like many others. Coffee shops, Banks and CMCC are all here, which is very convenient.

Amazing building! I'm continuing to admire the skyscrapers in China because they are marvelous! Critic Plaza is a highly modern, hi-tech, with exceptional finishes, beautiful building! The security will help you to find out more about the directions to the places to need to go to. Fast lifts, fraction of a second and you are on 14th floor already. Open space from the ground till 25 th floor in the hall gives you enough space for your energy to flow)) Loved it) Thanks

I can take the picture of Guangzhou Tower clearly from this Plaza...

I like the place due to reason it has been visit attractive place n security

Very good, but expensive shopping mall in Guangzhou center.

Pretty cool area of the city - with some interesting public art on display and also nice to see the financial heart of the city in all its splendour - loads of skyscrapers with plenty of chances to take some good photos

It’s so big and wonderful

Guangzhou international finamce cemter. IFC TOWER. Awesome view from the top. Four seasons hotel at 70th to 100th floor. Exclusive & classy environment.

Guangzhou International Finance Center Guangzhou International Finance Centre or Guangzhou West Tower, is a 103-storey, 438.6 m (1,439 ft) skyscraper at Zhujiang Avenue West in the Tianhe District of Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.[6][7] One half of the Guangzhou Twin Towers, it is the 15th tallest building in the world, completed in 2010. As of March 2018, it is the world's tallest building with a roof-top helipad, at 439 m (1,439 feet) high.[8] The world's second-tallest building with a roof-top helipad was also completed in 2010: Beijing's China World Trade Center Tower III, whose roof-top helipad is 330 m (1,083 feet) high.[9] Both buildings are taller than the U.S. Bank Tower, the previous record-holder from 1989 to 2010, whose roof-top helipad is only 310.3 m (1,018 feet) high.

The building was previously known as Guangzhou West Tower and had a related project, the proposed Guangzhou East Tower, which, at 475 m (1,558 ft), would have been even taller,[10] though that project has been awarded to a different design by Kohn Pedersen Fox, the 530 m (1,740 ft) Chow Tai Fook Centre.[11] The building was the winner of the RIBA 2012 Lubetkin Prize.[12]

The place is just amazing. The IFC building is one of the tallest in Guangzhou city.

A gorgeous building with shops, offices and hotels in there.

Beautiful view of the riverside, prices as high as the building.

Saw a great concert here. The concert program is only in Chinese though and there is a slight smell of stale smoke.

wonderful music theatre

(Original) 在这里听过The Swingle Singers 的音乐会。感觉效果还不错。 张敬轩在这里开过个人音乐会（張敬軒Unplugged第一樂章音樂會），讲到“这里是全中国最好的音乐厅” 不知道是否属实

Needs a bit of refreshment and watering for the plants, but also maybe it's because it was dry recently.

Landmark park right in the middle of Foshan. Cool views. There was a light show years ago, not sure if still happening.

Nice park. Sooooooo many people though

Great!!
