Why visit Guangzhou?
Guangzhou blends a long trading history with the energy of a fast-growing metropolis. You will find shimmering skyscrapers, leafy streets along the Pearl River, and a deep tradition of craftsmanship and cuisine that has influenced dining scenes around the world.
What to expect
The city is made up of contrasting districts, from the modern towers and riverside promenades of Zhujiang New Town to the historic lanes of Yuexiu and Liwan. Wide boulevards, landscaped parks, and a lively waterfront give Guangzhou an open, spacious feel despite its size.
Plan your trip
Guangzhou works well as both a short city break and a base for exploring the wider Pearl River Delta region. High-speed rail, river links, and a busy airport connect you easily to other major cities nearby, making it an efficient starting point for a wider journey.
