Things to do in Guangdong, China: The Best Cultural Tours

May 19, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

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.

Our group of five had the chance to go on a 3.5 hour bike tour with Bram (young version of Hugh Jackman), Jake, and their team. The staff are so kind with our safety as their highest priority! I’d seen the staff stand on the road to make sure that we are crossing safely. The pace is just perfect for exploring 15 km - 18 km around Guangzhou. I learned so much about Guangzhou from Bram. He taught us about the history, culture, and geography of the area. I am a strong believer of experiential learning and his bike tour enabled me to remember so much because we were able to see, hear, smell, and participate in the fabulous journey around Guangzhou. My family and I have done bike tours in Melbourne, Krakow, London, Vienna, etc and our experience with Bram and his crew is one of the very best! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cycle Canton! You will absolutely L❤️VE it!

Delicious and delicate. The food in Guangzhou is the best. The old town is worth visiting if you want to know history and cultures of Guangzhou. Travelling in Guangzhou is not so difficult except for some language problems until recently the GZ government has had an interpretation hotline(+8620960169), which can provide great service for public affairs and government services. I used several times taking taxi and asking for directions, the interpreters are quite professional.
