The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Guangzhou, Guangdong
China’s third-largest city is the capital of Guangdong Province and a thriving commercial center. Its location on the Pearl River and proximity to Hong Kong has made Guangzhou a strategic port for centuries. Glimpse old temples and gleaming steel towers on an architectural tour. Visit one of four Chimelong theme parks for thrills and chills. Once called Canton, Guangzhou is considered the home of traditional (read Cantonese) “Chinese food.” Foodies will find more restaurants per capita here than anywhere else in China.

The area around the IFC looks futuristic. You will find tall skyscrapers surrounded by greenery and sci-fi concrete landmarks. The area is photo friendly and a great area to bring your friends and family to take photos and enjoy a good meal. The area is nicer at night with the great lighting. But the views during the day are photo scenic too.

You can get a bus 24 from Yue Xue metro station, just 7-8 stops and you’re nearby the gate to the park (your stop is the lady one, so don’t worry to miss it). You can walk up, take a small bus or go by cable car. From the first view point you can keep walking or take another small bus. The park is free, but you have to pay for the transportation (10-25 rmb per time, depends on the route) and the entrance fee 5 rmb to the Moxing Summit - the highest peak. The great view is only possible if it’s sunny and not hazy, but it’s still worth it to go there if you are tired from big and hectic cities. There are also some restaurants on the first view point and the parrots paradise park (entrance fee is 15 rmb).
