Why visit Guangzhou?
Guangzhou is a dynamic Pearl River Delta city where historic trading streets and cutting-edge towers sit side by side. You will find leafy boulevards, creative districts, and a relaxed riverside atmosphere that makes it easy to explore at your own pace.
What to expect
The city is known for its broad avenues, efficient metro, and distinct neighbourhoods, from the skyscrapers around Zhujiang New Town to the European-style facades of Shamian Island. Expect a blend of traditional shopfronts, modern malls, and parks that offer welcome shade in the subtropical heat.
Plan your trip
Guangzhou works well as both a short city break and a base to explore the wider Pearl River region. High-speed rail, ferries, and road links connect you to nearby cities, while Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport offers onward links across China and the wider region.
