10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Guangdong That You Shouldn't Miss
Guangdong (Chinese: 广东) is a province in South China, located on the South China Sea coast. Traditionally romanised as Kwangtung, Guangdong surpassed Henan and Sichuan to become the most populous province in China in January 2005, registering 79.1 million permanent residents and 31 million migrants who lived in the province for at least six months of the year; the total population was 104,303,132 in the 2010 census, accounting for 7.79 percent of Mainland China's population. This also makes it the most populous first-level administrative subdivision of any country outside the former British Raj, as its population is surpassed only by those of the Pakistani province of Punjab and the Indian states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The provincial capital Guangzhou and economic hub Shenzhen are among the most populous and important cities in China. The population increase since the census has been modest, the province at 2015 had 108,500,000 people.

This lovely, tree-lined neighborhood bordering the Pearl River was once home to foreign merchants, and today is a laid-back area ideal for strolling or stopping for a meal or cup of tea.

We stopped by after hearing about this area of town from plenty of other folks. We took a cab over from our hotel- roughly 15 minutes - and walked around for about 2 hours. Even at 9 am in the summer, it’s hot! We went through plenty of water and even found a 7-11 where we got a slurpee! I hadn’t had one is about 20 years, but that cools to the core! The white swan hotel, the fingerprinting guy at Helen’s place and the fabled friendship garden statues were all on the agenda and made for a good morning. We got plenty of souvenirs at Michael’s place and worked up an appetite sweating the rest of the morning! Takeaways - the maps here are not helpful and things can be hard to find. If you can map things out s bit beforehand, it’s worth it...or just get on WiFi. A great half day excursion that can go, basically as long as you want it to! Worth checking out for sure!

National forest park and national geological park with lots of hiking options, gardens (peach, bamboo etc.) and the Buddha as main attraction. Ask before you go on one of the buses which direction, they take different turns sometimes. Great for taking pictures and there's some amazing views as well. We spend roughly 3 hours there but you can easily take a day to visit this attraction!
4. Canton Tower
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,482 reviews
The Canton Tower stands at the intersection of Guangzhou’s new urban central and the Pearl River scenery zone. Right across the river, is the Asian Games Park and Zhu Jiang New Town, together with the Guangzhou Opera House, Library, No.2 Children’s Palace and Guangdong Provincial Museum it forms the new metropolitan sky line. The Canton Tower is the tallest TV tower in the world with a total height of 600m. The Tower was built using the latest engineering technologies, but inherits 2000 years of Canton Culture. It displays Guangzhou’s vision and determination to the world. The Tower offers an observation deck with a spectacular view, several top-notch restaurants and catering services, 5-star exhibition, convention and entertainment facilities. All these enable you not just to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Guangzhou, but also to experience the excitement of adventure at great heights.

5. Zhuhai Imperial Hot Spring Resort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 88 reviews
Reviewed By mtforde68 - Zhuhai, China
Highly recommend! This was our second visit to the Hot Springs, my wife, 10 year old daughter and myself, although we stayed the night this time which we will do again! The Hot Springs themselves are many man-made small and large pools, but with a realistic Traditional Japanese/Chinese concept and feel. The room we booked, with two beds, was very comfortable, clean and spacious with good service. Staying the night was incredibly relaxing, with outside activities and bountiful food, buffet style. There are many games that you can enjoy at anytime during the day, from darts to a pool table, foot soccer, bike riding, miniature bowls and other games. At night there is a small band that plays music, while you walk around selecting what to eat from the different stalls. I highly recommend that you visit or stay the night, just remember to go during the colder months and also during the work week...a lot cheaper and far fewer people. Hope this helps!

Also known as the Guangdong and Canton river, the Pearl River is the third largest river in China. It is called Pearl River, because it has a stone island resembling a huge pearl. A cruise along the Pearl River in Guangzhou City has become a must for tourists.

This worthwhile attraction is part of Overseas Chinese Village (better known as OCT) and showcases the myriad minority ethnic cultures that make this vast country much less homogenous than imagined. It also serves as a great introduction to the history and traditions of China.

I loved the place (more than any other places in Shenzhen). I have focused on the larger sub-park, on left side, about Chinese landscapes and historic architectures : it is really great: a few hundred sites, each like 100 m2, showing a known temple, palace, mountain, gorge, walls (...), etc .. Each site is fairly well designed, with concrete (no plastic), correct painting, etc, including a few water flows to mimic rivers or cascades. It was great to guide the kids, teach them and let them discover all the variety of China. The funny part is that these sites are located, inside the park, on a kind of huge Chinese map (upside-down, though, you’ll see). It was by far my best experience in Shenzhen (more than Windows of World as second choice) or others. Note that I think there aren’t any playing items here (no roller coaster, etc). Written English information (dates, location, short historic background). Inside the park, there is one smaller half, on the right side, about pure Chinese folk items (presumably dances, houses, clothing, etc): it is not my priority (it would be too Chinese to let me appreciate it as it should): I have not been there and I cannot judge.
