11.10.2021

The city of Guangzhou is well known to tourists all over the world, primarily due to its airport, which is a stopover for international flights. Sometimes travelers have to wait six or even thirty-six hours for a transfer. And of course, few tourists can afford to sit at the airport all this time when they have the opportunity to get to know another city. When looking for information about what you can see in Guangzhou in one day, you read different opinions. To the point where there is nothing special to watch. This point of view looks at least strange, because Guangzhou is China, and China without sights is as possible as football without a ball.

Baiyun International Airport

The airport was opened in 2004 because old airport Guangzhou could not cope with the increasing passenger traffic. Since the possibilities for expanding the airport located in the city center had been exhausted, the authorities decided to build a new air hub 28 km from the city. Therefore, calculating your a tourist route in Guangzhou, be sure to take into account travel time from the airport and back.

Historical and architectural monuments

The ancient city of Shawan in Panyu. This ancient city attracts not only history buffs. Anyone who was interested in films about kung fu and Shaolin monks in the late 80s and early 90s will be pleased to plunge into the atmosphere ancient China. The city itself was built 800 years ago, but many buildings date back to the 18th century. In particular, the school, where paintings hang, from which you can understand how it was organized educational process in those times. Tourists look with interest and photograph the frescoes and carvings with which the city residents decorated their homes, as well as sculptures, which are also abundant in Chavannes.

And if you are lucky enough to attend one of the festivals that are periodically held in the ancient city, Chinese traditional culture will appear before you in all its diversity. However, it should be said right away that if you are thinking about what to see in Guangzhou, for example, in 5 hours, and have chosen Shawan, then you will have to take a taxi from the airport and back. In this case, the journey will take you about two and a half hours, while by metro and bus you will spend this time only on a one-way journey.

Important! Chinese taxi drivers generally do not speak English language. Therefore, in order to easily explain your route to the driver, it is better to first prepare cards with the Chinese names of attractions or show your destination on an electronic map on your smartphone.

History and architecture lovers who have a short layover in Guangzhou have something else to see:

Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Memorial Hall. Temple-monument to Sun Yat-sen, called the “Father of the Nation” by the Chinese. Nearby is the picturesque Yuexiu Park (50 minutes by metro);
Liu Rong Temple. Buddhist Temple of Six Banyan Trees. Picturesque Buddhist temple (40 minutes by metro);
Guangzhou Opera House. A stunningly beautiful object modern architecture, especially beautiful in the evening when the lights are on. Nearby is a park and an embankment (1 hour 15 minutes by metro).

Landscape parks

The southern Chinese canton of Guangzhou has a lot of natural attractions. The city has many parks with an abundance of flowers and tropical greenery. Lotus Mountains. 20 kilometers from Guangzhou lies the beautiful Lotus Park, which got its name because one of the mountains resembles this flower. Although there are also a lot of lotuses themselves, as well as other flowers, which are at every step here. Walking in the park, you begin to understand the true meaning of the word “harmony”: the Chinese turned a former quarry into paradise, so you won't regret the 50 yuan you pay for admission.
To appreciate all the beauty of the park, climb the Swallow Rock, on which there is an observation deck.

But an even more breathtaking view of the park and the Pearl River opens from the top, on which stands the world's tallest 80-meter Buddha statue, Guanyin. It was erected relatively recently - in 1994, and 9 kg of gold was used to cover the statue! And be sure to visit one of the most beautiful Buddhist temples in China to take a panoramic photo of the park. If, after thinking about what attractions to see in Guangzhou in 6 hours, you choose the Lotus Mountains, then it is better to take a taxi from the airport. Because a one-way journey by metro will take 3 hours, while a taxi will get you there in an hour. If you have more time at your disposal and you appreciate the level of Chinese masters of park art, we recommend that you visit the following parks:

Zhujiang park. A quiet and cozy park in the center of the metropolis with a lake, bridges, jogging paths and restaurants (half an hour by taxi or 1 hour 20 minutes by metro);
Southern China Botanical Garden. A beautiful park with an abundance of flowers and secluded corners for quiet relaxation and meditation (1 hour 15 minutes by metro);
Shamian Island. A beautiful park with an abundance of tropical greenery, sculptures and architectural monuments. You can sit in cozy cafes in the shade of spreading trees (1 hour by metro and half an hour by taxi from the airport).

Amusement parks

If you come with the whole family and are wondering where to go to Guangzhou with children, be sure to visit Chimelong Paradise. This is a huge amusement park where everyone will find entertainment - from schoolchildren to old people. Be sure to take a ride on the roller coaster: there is a section where you ride through water, and it seems that you will come out of the ride wet from head to toe. But this is not so, and you can get wet voluntarily - on one of water attractions(if, of course, you visit the park in the warm season).
In the same park there is Chimelong International Circus is a famous Chinese circus that completely changes the idea of circus art. It is simply impossible to express in words all the delight from these bright and spectacular performances, so be sure to go.

A bus leaves from the amusement park every 10 minutes to Chimelong Safari Park, where children will especially enjoy it. You can travel around the entire park by train, feed giraffes, ponies and other animals and, of course, look at the pandas. If adult bears, as a rule, sleep or lazily walk around their property, then young pandas will cause indescribable delight in children with their funny games.
In short, if you have made a plan in advance for what to see in Guangzhou in 1 day, then most likely you will spend all your time in this park complex. Therefore, you are unlikely to have time to visit the Guangzhou Zoo, which you should definitely set aside a day to visit during your next visit to Guangzhou. The vast territory of the park allows you to show wild animals in conditions as close as possible to their natural habitat. You can be sure that your children here will not see unhappy animals and dirty, plucked birds darting around in cages. The animals are well-groomed and very friendly (especially the giraffes).

From the airport to the zoo you can get there by bus in 1 hour 20 minutes, by metro in about an hour or in 20 minutes by taxi.

Where to feel Guangzhou and what to see in 8 hours
To feel the spirit of this modern metropolis, you need to walk around it after sunset, when the illumination turns on. Guangzhou is one of those cities where the main attractions are concentrated in the city center, and their location is quite compact. For example, near the already mentioned Guangzhou Opera House there is the Guangzhou TV Tower Canton Tower where every tourist should go.
This building has three observation decks. The first one is located at an altitude of 428 meters, but few people dare to go out there, because both the walls and the floor are glass. But the view is stunning. On the second level (433 meters) the observation deck is open, but the main thing is that you can ride in an external glass cable car, literally feeling the whole city under your feet.

And on the third observation deck (488 meters) you can climb the spire in a special chair. But this is already for extreme sports enthusiasts, because you completely lose sight of the tower itself - only Guangzhou from a height of 600 meters is under your feet!
Then you can stroll around the square Hua Cheng Square and look at the modern architecture of the city in the night illumination. You will take photos that your friends will look at with genuine interest.
And nightlife lovers in Guangzhou flock to Zhujiang Party Pier. This is an entertainment street, where there are galleries of modern and traditional art, a lot of nightclubs, bars and restaurants with a stunning view of the river and the city at night.
Guangzhou at night is a stunning attraction in itself, so if you want colorful photos of the metropolis at night, take an evening stroll along the Pearl River.
