Highlights

Chen Clan Ancestral Hall-Folk Craft Museum - Your professional guide will pick you up at your Guangzhou hotel. Begin your delightful tour by visiting the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, a significant Qing-Dynasty structure belonging to the affluent Chen Family. Take time to admire the stunning architecture and explore the intricate wood, brick, stone, clay, and ivory carvings, along with the rare collections of silk embroidery, ceramics, and paintings from the Lingnan region.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Memorial Hall - Next, head to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall to learn about the crucial historical period during the late Qing Dynasty and Republic of China. Understand the city’s foundational history and development, and appreciate the blend of eastern and western architectural styles within the serene park adorned with beautiful flowers and lush greenery.
Temple of the Six Banyan Trees & Flower Pagoda (Liurong Temple) - Continue your tour to the 1,400-year-old Temple of the Six Banyan Trees (Liu Rong Si). Admire its graceful “flower” pagodas, immerse yourself in the peaceful temple surrounded by ancient trees, and visit various chambers while your guide shares the temple’s fascinating history and religious customs from China.
Shamian Island - Then, travel to Shamian Island, once a British and French concession and now a charming, quaint oasis in the city. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along cobbled streets, appreciate the historic architecture reminiscent of the 1930s, learn about Guangzhou’s colonial history from your guide, and capture some great photos.
Museum of the Western Han Dynasty Mausoleum of the Nanyue King - If time allows, visit the Mausoleum of the Nanyue King (officially known as the Western Han Museum of the Nanyue King). With a 2,000-year-old royal tomb excavated on-site, the museum showcases a complete collection of artifacts, treasures, and relics from ancient times. Explore different sections of the museum with your guide to gain insight into ancient Canton and old China.
During the tour, take a break to enjoy a delightful Cantonese Dim-Sum lunch or dinner recommended by your guide.
If you have already visited the mentioned sites, you may substitute them with other attractions such as Lychee Bay Scenic Area, including the former house of Bruce Lee, or traditional Guangzhou old streets.
