Guangzhou City Stay
Guangzhou has long stood as one of China’s most vibrant trade centers—a title it has proudly held for centuries. Despite its modern skyline and rapid development, the city remains deeply connected to its cultural roots and offers peaceful escapes amid the urban bustle.
Traditional dim sum restaurants continue to be a cherished part of daily life for locals, preserving the authentic flavors of Cantonese cuisine. In the historic district of Shamian, visitors can stroll past heritage-listed, European-style buildings that reflect the city’s colonial past. Meanwhile, the Tomb of the Nanyue King showcases invaluable Han Dynasty artifacts, offering a fascinating glimpse into ancient Chinese history.
Another landmark not to be missed is Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Memorial Hall, built on the site of his former Presidential Office. This striking octagonal structure, spanning 71 meters, honors Dr. Sun Yat-sen—the visionary politician, physician, and philosopher who became the first president of the Republic of China.
