Guangzhou - a beautiful blend of past and present

As the capital of Guangdong province, Guangzhou has long been a top destination in Southern China thanks to its unique blend of modern architecture, cultural heritage and rich cuisine.

Canton Tower.

One of the modern symbols of Guangzhou that cannot be missed is the Canton Tower, nearly 600m high, once the tallest TV tower in the world . From the top of the tower, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the bustling city, especially impressive when night falls, the brilliant lights reflect on the Pearl River. Not far away is the Guangzhou Opera House, a prominent contemporary architectural work designed by architect Zaha Hadid, known as the "pearl on the riverbank".

Besides modern constructions, Guangzhou still retains many ancient cultural and historical imprints. Liurong Pagoda (Luc Dung Pagoda) was built in the 6th century with a nine-story Hoa tower, a quiet place in the middle of a bustling city. Tran Thi Assembly Hall - a Guangdong folk art museum - impresses with its classical Lingnan architecture and sophisticated carvings. In addition, the Nam Viet Vuong Mausoleum with thousands of Western Han Dynasty artifacts is also an interesting stop for history lovers.

If you love entertainment and shopping, you can visit the Chimelong complex - which brings together theme parks, safaris, indoor snow parks... or stroll around shopping centers such as Taikoo Hui, walking street, and Shangxiajiu night market.

Cantonese cuisine is an indispensable part of the journey of discovery. The essence of Cantonese cuisine is clearly shown through dim sum - small dishes served with tea in an elegant space. In addition, there are crispy roast duck, noodles, minced meat porridge, coconut sago, longevity noodles... served from ordinary eateries to luxury restaurants.

When night falls, a cruise on the Pearl River will provide a romantic experience amidst the sparkling lights of the city. Culture lovers can visit the Yongqingfang area, which preserves many old houses, traditional teahouses, and Cantonese opera stages in the heart of the modern city.

From architecture to cuisine, from green spaces to ancient heritage, Guangzhou offers visitors a comprehensive, colorful experience - a must-see destination for anyone who wants to fully experience the pace and soul of Southern China.
