Here, you can savor the profound heritage of Lingnan culture and feel the exquisite skills of traditional craftsmanship.

You will then proceed to Six Banyan Temple. This thousand-year-old temple, which was built in the Southern Dynasty, was named after the inscription “Six Banyan” by Su Dongpo. Here, you can calm your mind and listen to the sound of the bells of the thousand-year-old temple, experiencing a rare peace and tranquility.

Afterwards, you will go to Yuexiu Park, which is the largest comprehensive park in Guangzhou and a good place for people to relax and have fun.

In the afternoon, walk to Beijing Road, one of the busiest commercial streets in Guangzhou and the birthplace of its history and culture. Along the Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, you can see stores lined up on both sides and feel the prosperity of the modern city. At the same time, there are many historical relics hidden along this road, such as the ruins of the South Vietnam Watergate and the ruins of the thousand-year old road on Beijing Road. Here, you can enjoy the long history and culture of Guangzhou while shopping, and experience the unique charm of blending the ancient and the modern.

As the sun sets, your final destination is the Canton Tower, the world's second tallest TV tower, which is not only a landmark of Guangzhou, but also one of the best places to enjoy the night view of the city.
