Explore Guangzhou and learn of the ancient metropolitan's evolution throughout the centuries in this four-hour morning tour.
Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, discover the exquisite craftsmanship of the region's artisans in the ancestral temple of the Chen family, wander around the beautiful Shamian Island with its European heritage, and visit the restored canal of Lizhiwan Brook.
Your tour guide will meet you at your downtown hotel at around 8:00 - 8:30 am, and transfer you around Guangzhou in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle.
First, head to the Chen Clan Academy, the ancestral temple of the Chen family. The temple, built in quintessential Guangdong architecture, is famed for its extensive collection of art pieces of wood, stone, and brick carving and metalwork. The special historical, artistic and scientific significance of the temple makes it one of the major cultural attractions in Guangzhou.
Proceed to Shamian Island, a concession area for the French and the British in the 19th century. The colonial history of the area has left a distinct European footprint on the island with western-style architecture abound. Wander around its quiet streets to understand firsthand the region's diverse history.
Conclude your guided tour with a vision of an idealized Guangzhou in the 19th century at the restored Lizhiwan Brook canal.
Afterwards, the guide will drop you off at Beijing Road before 12 noon. Here you could continue sightseeing on your own or take public transportation to your next destination.
