Top attractions in Guangzhou

Shamian Island

With the English colony architecture and tree-lined avenues, Shamian Island is a laid-back area ideal for strolling among old European buildings or stopping at nearby restaurants and al fresco riverside bars for a meal or drink. Today, the European influences are not hard to find and evident in houses, stone Western-style mansions as well as churches, highlighted by the French Catholic Church on the main street of the island.

Pearl River

With a length of more than 2,000 kilometers, Pearl River is the third longest river in China. Although you can walk alongside the Pearl River and enjoy the beautiful water scenes during the day, an evening cruise is considered as one of the tourist highlights in Guangzhou. When night falls, the multicoloured dancing lights of buildings along the Pearl River provide an enchanting display while the bridges connecting the south and north banks look like fantastic rainbows spanning the river. Don’t miss the chance to admire these magnificent night scenes once you are in Guangzhou!
