At 9 am we'll pick you up from your hotel and drive to the Huangpu old port, which has helped Guangzhou to become one of the most important trading cities in China.

When we reach the village of Huangpu, we'll visit its history museum to learn about the symbolic port on the ancient Silk Road and the Opium trade. We'll also visit Pak Tai Temple, famous for its huge blazing incense sticks.

After Huangpu, we'll go to Lychee Bay, a set of rivers and lakes that flow to the Pearl River. Originally disappearing due to factories, it was restored by 2010. We'll walk along the bridges, stopping at Longjing Bridge to view the Wen Tower.

Next, we'll walk along the Beijing Road Ancient Avenue, one of the oldest commercial areas in Guangzhou, measuring 1,500 metres. We'll stop for lunch in a local restaurant to taste the internationally renowned Cantonese cuisine (meal not included).

After lunch, we'll explore Yuexiu Park, which encompasses 86 hectares with lakes, museums, and monuments such as The Legend of the Five Goats statue.

Finally, we will visit the General Sun Yat-sen Memorial Museum, honoring this key figure in establishing the first Chinese Republic. We'll also stroll through its gardens and learn more about Sun Yat-sen in front of his statue.
