Upon your arrival in Guangzhou

To reach the city centre from the airport, we recommend taking a taxi as it will get you there in approximately 40 minutes. The Metro Line 3 train service is another convenient option as it will transport you to downtown Guangzhou in around 40 minutes. Alternatively, you can board one of the many buses available outside the airport terminal.

A brief introduction to Guangzhou

Boasting intriguing culture, mesmerising history, and plenty of outdoor excursions, Guangzhou is brimming with unique experiences for all types of travellers.

Start your trip by indulging in the cultural and historical side of the city. Visit one of the many temples that can be found throughout Guangzhou, with Guangxiao Temple and the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees being among the most popular destinations. We also recommend marvelling at the stunning Sacred Heart Cathedral, which was erected in 1888 and is one of the few remaining cathedrals in the world that is made entirely from granite.

Foodies should head to Zhujiang New Town as it is home to a plethora of bars and restaurants. Be sure to sample some of the local delicacies, which include ‘Har Gao’ (shrimp dumplings), ‘Kao Ru Zhu’ (roasted suckling pig), and egg tarts. From there, pay a visit to Taikoo Huo, a shopping mall that boasts over 180 brands.

Nature enthusiasts should venture out of Baiyun Mountain and explore the lush, rolling hills on foot or by cable car. We also recommend taking a stroll along the manicured gardens and shimmering ponds before going to Moxing Ridge, which is Baiyun Mountain’s highest point.

Mount Danxia is another popular day trip destination as it can be reached in approximately 3 hours by car. While here, go on a scenic walk and explore the temples in the area. Boat rides are also available and will travel along the river that meanders around the mountains.
