Why visit Guangzhou?
Guangzhou is a major Pearl River Delta hub where historic trading streets sit alongside gleaming skyscrapers and riverside promenades. You can expect a vibrant, modern city that still keeps many of its traditional neighbourhoods and classic teahouses.
What to expect
The city stretches along the Pearl River, with landmark areas such as Zhujiang New Town, Shamian Island, and Beijing Road offering very different atmospheres. You will find leafy boulevards, busy shopping districts, and waterfront paths that make it easy to explore on foot between metro stops.
Plan your trip
Guangzhou works well as both a city-break destination and a starting point for trips across the Greater Bay Area. High-speed rail and extensive transport links connect you to nearby cities, while the airport and railway stations make onward journeys straightforward.
