Top 6 Hidden Gems Things to do 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.

Hi this is Xaq, I am a Guangzhou native and have been providing tour guide/translation service for foreign visitors in Guangzhou for 5 years. I am proud of my hometown city and keen on sharing with you the colorful culture, history, landscape and people's life in Guangzhou. Apart from Guangzhou city tour, I also operate out of town tours to visit the countryside area and the neighboring cities like Foshan/Shunde and Kaiping/Taishan for beautiful natural scenery(like the big Glass Skywalk Bridge across the mountains with natural waterfalls), UNESCO sites, hotspring spa experience and so on. I would be also able to help you with all those listed tours on Tripadvisor with cheaper rate and if you have any special requests, let me know and I can customize a tour just for you and your family:) Contact me if you have any questions or need any help.^_^. I am not available on phone call, but you can reach me by whatsapp or Email and I will reply you at my earliest convenience, thank you.

We really loved our visit here. Hard to believe it is in the middle of the city. You walk in and go back 2,000 years. Amazing to see the craftsmanship and how they engineered the city. Wells that used sand to filter water and dams to control water. We spent about 2 1/2 hours. Lots of English signs to read.
4. Shawan Aancient Town of Panyu

Reviewed By 687yvettes - Hong Kong, China
So very pleased to find this "ancient village". Easy to access, having different gates. The map provided gives you a great layout of the place. A very pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere whilst walking along the narrow streets, stopping to admire the historical past and learning about traditions. There are an abundance of shops and eateries and two beautiful shaded squares where one can sit and people watch. Spent 5 hours here and I will definitely go back again. It is a free entry; however, if you want to go into the 4 "halls" you need to have a ticket.
5. Guangzhou Sculpture Park

Reviewed By Y7883MXmarkd - Penang Island, Malaysia
The large, well located park covers about 115 acres/ 46 Hectares and, is divided into four sections-- highlighting Guangzhou's and China's history, wonderful statues, sculptures and a forest. It is China's largest "sculpture themed" Park. It also emphatically demonstrates the "synergistic interaction" between "Nature and Art"! There is no entrance fee and the cost of the Metro is about 2-3 Yuan. It is an attraction which will add to one's" more pleasant" and interesting memories of Guangzhou and China!! I hope that this Review has been helpful.
6. MiaoQianBingShi - Hope and Sesame Speakeasy and Jazz Bar
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 29 reviews
Hope & Sesame is a chic and modern Chinese cocktail bar in Dongshan, Guangzhou. A traditional Cantonese snack bar houses it's secret entrance. We open everyday, from 7:00 pm to 1:00 am with jazz live concert. Booking is strongly advised for any nights as our venue is fairly small. We have two rounds of reservation: 7pm until 10pm and 10pm onward. Our menu evolve every 4-5 months, we strive to offer something very unique with an ever revolving theme, however, more traditional drinks are available any time. We offer a small selection of bar snacks to fill the gap.
