Como la tercera ciudad más grande de China, Guangzhou no es para pusilánimes. Una metrópolis en expansión enmarcada por rascacielos de acero inoxidable y dividida por el río Pearl, Guangzhou ofrece historia y modernidad en igual medida. El tamaño de la ciudad significa que un recorrido turístico es la mejor manera de viajar entre puntos de referencia de forma rápida y sencilla. Los recorridos de un día completo generalmente cubren la Academia Chen Clan, el Templo de los Seis Banianos (Templo Liurong) y el Museo del Mausoleo del Rey Nanyue, e incluyen un almuerzo tradicional cantonés. El parque Yuexiu, que alberga la emblemática estatua de los cinco carnero y la torre Zhenhai de la era Ming, ofrece mucho que explorar, al igual que la isla Shamian, con sus mansiones coloniales e iglesias neogóticas. Aproveche la energía nocturna de Guangzhou en un crucero nocturno por el río Pearl o reserve con anticipación un boleto para el Circo Internacional Chimelong, y no se olvide de probar la cocina cantonesa, como dim sum y pato asado, en un recorrido gastronómico. Los viajes de un día a Hong Kong en tren bala de alta velocidad son una opción popular entre los viajeros con poco tiempo, mientras que viajar a Chengdu por aire hace que la Base de Investigación de Cría de Panda Gigante de Chengdu sea factible en un día. Además, no se pierda el Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall, un arcoíris de arquitectura imperial; Chimelong Paradise, el parque de atracciones más grande de China; y Canton Tower, la estructura más alta del país.
Subtropical Guangzhou is known for its sultry weather and toasty summers; depending on your heat tolerance, you may wish to visit in the cooler fall months. That said, the sizable city always has events worth traveling for, from Lunar New Year (complete with vibrant flower markets) and spring's Dragon Boat Festival to the Lotus Flower Festival in summer.
