To experience the historical and cultural side of the city, we recommend visiting the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall as its history spans over 100 years. Famed for the mythical decorations on the buildings, there are plenty of exhibits to explore that showcase a diverse variety of folk arts and crafts.

Numerous temples are also dotted throughout Guangzhou, with some of the most popular being Guangxiao Temple and the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees.

For a fun-filled family day out, we recommend heading to Chimelong Safari Park as it is the largest wildlife park in China and boasts over 20,000 animals. While there, get up close and personal with a vast array of exotic creatures, such as giant pandas, white tigers, and elephants.
