What to expect
The city is made up of distinct districts, from historic Shamian Island and the conservation streets of Liwan to the sleek towers of Zhujiang New Town. Wide avenues, parks, and the Pearl River itself offer open spaces, while shopping streets and tea houses give you a glimpse of everyday life.
