Where to go and what to see in Guangzhou? Guangzhou attractions - what to visit? Downtown Guangzhou where to walk

Asian cities, even the most provincial ones, cannot be boring. National color, nature and culture can impress any tourist. And if the city is also ancient, then it also has a special source of pride - a rich history. All this leads to a large number of attractions. One such city is Guangzhou.

Brief description of Guangzhou

Guangzhou (廣州) is a sub-provincial city in the People's Republic of China. Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong Province and a major economic center in southern China. The total area of ​​the city is more than 8000 km 2, and the population is more than 14 million people (it is the third largest city in China). Guangzhou is located in the southern part of the republic, north of the Pearl River. Other rivers that flow through the city are Dongjiang, Xijiang and Beijiang.

Guangzhou is a well-known cultural and historical city in China, and is the largest commercial and industrial city and sea foreign trade port in Southern China.

A little about the history of the city

Guangzhou appeared more than 2000 years ago. There are several theories about the origin of the city. The most unlikely of them says that Guangzhou arose in the 9th century BC (Western Han Dynasty). There was a trading port here, to which ships came for inexpensive goods. The ruins of the shipyard have been preserved (they testify to the ancient era). The Silk Road passed through Guangzhou, and in the 2nd century BC the city was called Panyun (the capital of the Chinese-Vietnamese state of Nam Viet).

When the Tang Dynasty conquered the southern part of the country, uprisings began. The Persians and Arabs took advantage of the situation and the city was sacked. And when the political center of China shifted to Hangzhou, Guangzhou acquired the status of the country's manufacturing center (Southern Song Dynasty). Until the 19th century, Guangzhou was the only Chinese port, so this city was the first to suffer when British troops attacked (the First Opium War began with a blockade of the port). Pyotr Kropotkin also had a significant influence on the history of the city. At the beginning of the 20th century, an anarchist movement appeared in Guangzhou, and the government could not control the city. The economy began to decline, but the anarchist movement soon collapsed. Guangzhou is still considered a major economic and political center, but foreigners see tourism value in this city.

How to get to Guangzhou

Guangzhou is a civilized city, so all ways to get to the city are convenient:

1. By plane from major cities in Europe, Asia, America (from Russian cities - Moscow, St. Petersburg, etc.). The flight from Moscow takes 9.5 hours, and a ticket will cost about $400. Some tourists fly first to Beijing, and from there to Guangzhou (this is cheaper).
2. By train or bus from major cities in China (for example, from Hong Kong by train it takes 2 hours, and the ticket costs 230 yuan).
3. On water. There is water communication between cities in southern and eastern China. A ferry ride from Hong Kong costs RMB 350.
4. From the suburbs to the center of Guangzhou you can get by metro (line 3), bus or taxi (the most expensive method upon arrival is up to 150 yuan).

The most convenient way to get to Guangzhou from Russia is to fly to Baiyun Airport (28 km from the city)

Sights of Guangzhou

Tourists in Guangzhou are attracted by its rich architecture, many museums and temples, entertainment centers, interesting natural places, etc.

City architecture

The architectural sights of the city are represented by unique buildings of different oriental styles. Particularly noteworthy in Guangzhou are the Nanyue Mausoleum, the city's main pedestrian street, and the Cheng Clan Academy.

The mausoleum of King Nanyue was built in the 2nd century BC. The initiative for construction belonged to King Zhaomei, who ruled the Principality of Nanyue at that time. According to his design, bronze bells, screens (the oldest in the world), a bed for incense, mirrors, vessels and other furnishings were installed here. Now there is a unique museum attached to the mausoleum, which is included in the list of 80 best museums in the world.

It is interesting that the burial, along with all the valuable architectural finds, was found in 1983 (in Yuexiu Park). The tomb was placed at a depth of 20 m, but more than 1000 unique items were preserved in the best possible way. The most valuable part of the museum's collection is the king's funeral robe. The suit consists of jadeite plates. More than 2291 pieces of jade are connected with silk threads. Previously, the Chinese believed that jadeite was able to preserve the appearance of the body. Scientists discovered that the stone actually has unusual properties many centuries later.

Information for tourists:

• Address: 867 Jiefang North Road, Yuexiu District (subway station - Yuexiu Park);
• official website: www.gznywmuseum.org;
• Opening hours: daily from 9:00 to 17:30 (ticket office open until 16:45);
• entrance fee: 12 yuan (audio guide separately - 10 yuan + deposit 200 yuan).

The most valuable and equally amazing exhibit of the museum is a jadeite suit, “tailored” according to the canons of sewing art (it even has buttons)

Beijing Pedestrian Street is the main shopping street in the city, which is also one of the oldest. This is the focus of architecture. In some places, ancient paving stones (14th century) have been preserved, and on both sides of the street there are buildings of different shapes, sizes and ages. Fragments of the ancient pavement are highlighted under glass domes, and at night they are illuminated by special spotlights.

Previously, there were not only shops, but also industrial buildings. Even if the merchant did not produce anything, he still lived in this quarter. There are still medieval houses on Beijing Pedestrian Walkway. This street is considered the most crowded and colorful in the city, so ceremonies and processions are held here on major holidays.

Information for tourists:

• Address: Beijing Lu, Yuexiu District (subway station - Gongyuanqian);
• shops are open on average from 9:00 to 22:00, shopping centers - from 10:00 to 22:00.

The ancient houses on both sides of the street are a reflection not only of southern Chinese architectural traditions, but also of European styles (settlers built mansions here according to the traditions of their homeland)

The Cheng Clan Academy is an architectural complex consisting of several buildings built in the 19th century. In fact, this is a unique residential complex consisting of 19 houses. Here is the Guangdong Provincial Folk Art Museum, the main exhibits of which are works of folk crafts. The idea of ​​creating the complex belonged to two Chinese who lived in America (1912). Funds for the creation of the academy were collected by everyone who had at least some relationship with the Chengs. The most beautiful and expensive element of the complex is the decoration of the ceremonial halls (the pediments are decorated with clay sculptures).

The total area of ​​the academy is more than 13,000 m2. In addition to the ceremonial halls, here you can see a 27 m long entrance corridor, a 28 m long meeting hall and the “Black Hall”.

Information for tourists:

• Address: 34, Enlong Li, Zhongshan Road (subway stop: Chen Clan Academy Line No. 1);
• Opening hours: daily, from 08:30 to 17:30;
• free admission on the third Wednesday of the month and the second Saturday in June;
• Regular admission price: - 10 yuan.

The Cheng Clan Academy is an entire castle of the ancestors of modern Guangzhou residents, built at the end of the 19th century

Cultural attractions

The main cultural attractions of Guangzhou are numerous museums, theaters, exhibition and memorial halls.

Pazhou Exhibition Complex

Pazhou is a giant multifunctional exhibition complex built in 2002. It is considered the largest and most modern in all of Asia, its total area exceeds 150 thousand m2. The complex consists of 13 halls of different geometric shapes, the area of ​​each of them is about 10,000 m2. The building was built in such a way that it can host several international exhibitions at the same time. By the way, the famous “Canton Exhibitions” are held here (Canton is the old name of Guangzhou).

Basically, expositions of the world's largest manufacturers are held here: cars, building materials, equipment for factories, boats, slot machines, etc. However, tourists come here not only to study and choose the best products. The building was built in such a way that from any point it offers interesting panoramas of the surrounding skyscrapers. And ceilings in the walls and ceiling create the illusion of space with irregular geometry.

Practical information:

• complex address: 382 Yuejiang Middle Rd Haizhu (Xin Gang Dong Station metro station);
• official website: http://cantonfair.org;
• The operating hours of the complex depend on the exhibition schedule;
• Entrance to the complex is free, you can buy your favorite products.

The full official name of the exhibition complex is Guangzhou International Convention Exhibition Center (GICEC) PAZHOU

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall

Yat-sen Memorial Hall is a museum built in 1931 dedicated to the first revolutionary and president of China. Sun Yat-sen was born in Guangdong Province. In 1912, a revolution took place, which he led. The communist devoted his entire life to restoring historical justice, persecution and prohibitions. Yatsen died in 1925. Before his death, the leader of the revolution ordered himself to be buried in a mausoleum (though in another city).

The memorial complex consists of a large central hall (a unique room without a single supporting column) with an area of ​​6600 m2, a museum with an exhibition on communist themes and a large park. By the way, in the park there is a garden in which the oldest ceiba tree grows.

Information for tourists:

• Address: 259 Dongfeng Middle Road, Yuexiu District (at the foot of Yuexiu Hill);
• official website: http://yatsen.gov.tw;
• Opening hours: hall and museum - daily, from 8:00 to 18:00, garden and park - from 6:00 to 22:00;
• entrance fee: adult ticket - 10 yuan, child ticket - 5 yuan (children under 120 cm tall - free).

The memorial hall was built with funds from the Guangzhou community and the Chinese in exile who joined it (it was reconstructed in 1998)

The Guangzhou Opera House was built in 2010 (construction lasted 5 years). The project was developed by British architect Zaha Hadid (she also developed the plan for the Heydar Aliyev Center and the Nordkete cable car in Innsbruck). The futuristic building attracts tourists not only with its architecture, but also with its purpose. It hosts Asia's largest opera and ballet performances. Classical music lovers can attend one of the most popular performances: “Giselle”, “Swan Lake”, “Phantom of the Opera”, “Turandot”, etc.

The interior decoration of the opera house is also interesting. The ceiling vault is covered with millions of LED lamps, which creates the effect of a starry sky. The building of the new theater can be accessed on performance days or during box office opening hours; there are no organized tours of the building yet.

There are much fewer opera houses in the world than drama houses. If I find myself in a city where there is an opera house, I always try to visit it. Even if on the right day they play a performance that I have already seen. Moreover, the most interesting thing lies in the comparison. The good thing about classical music, ballet and drama is that they are relevant at all times. For example, I saw “Swan Lake” in 4 different theaters, “The Nutcracker” in 3, and I saw “Romeo and Juliet” countless times, in different cities and countries. Moreover, not understanding the language will not upset your plans if you have already seen this production.

Information for tourists:

• theater address: Guangzhou Zhujiang West Road, 1 (convenient to get there by taxi);
• official website: http://gzdjy.org;
• the schedule of performances can be found on the official website;
• Entrance to the theater is free, concert tickets cost from 80 yuan.

Inside the building there is one of the best acoustic theater halls in the world with an innovative system for changing scenery and transforming the stage

Religious places

Guangzhou has many places of worship and religion, including mosques, Buddhist temples and individual places of worship. Moreover, tourists visit such attractions not so much because of interest in another religion, but because of the appearance of the temples.

Temple of the Five Spirits

The Temple of the Five Spirits is a Buddhist temple built in the Taoist style. It has a traditional three-tier roof with upturned ridges. The temple has a central hall, a monument in the form of a rock fragment, a huge bell, etc. The unique bell of the temple belongs to the Ming Dynasty (from the 13th century). The weight of the bell is 5 tons, the thickness of the walls is 10 cm. Interestingly, the bell does not have a tongue, so it does not ring. It is believed that if a bell rings from here, trouble will come.

Local residents believe that the temple was built on the day when 5 spirits descended to earth. They gave people rice sprouts so that there would always be food on the earth and people would not die of hunger. Since then, rice plantations have flourished in Guangzhou. The Chinese also believe in the legend of a stone standing in the courtyard of the temple. The fact is that there is a depression on this block, shaped like a footprint. According to legend, this is the footprint of one of the 5 spirits.

Information for tourists:

• Address: Five Spirits Temple, Huifu Xi Road, Yuexiu District (subway station - Gongyuanqian);
• Opening hours: daily, from 9:00 to 17:00;
• Admission is free, but a donation (RMB 5) is appreciated.

The Temple of the Five Spirits is intimate and rather modest in capacity, but unusually richly decorated in Taoist traditions

Huaisheng Mosque

Huaisheng Mosque is a Muslim temple with an area of ​​3000 m2. According to tradition, the building extends from south to north. The exact date of construction of the mosque is unknown, but local historians suggest that construction took place in the 7th century. And local residents believe that the mosque was built by Saad ibn Abu Waqqas (uncle of the Prophet Muhammad). The temple experienced severe fires several times, but it was immediately restored (XIV and XVII centuries).

The 35-meter-high stone minaret did not require reconstruction (because of the minaret, the mosque is sometimes called the tower of light). Previously, this building was a landmark for sailors. Until the 20th century, it was the tallest building in Guangzhou. There is an orchid garden in the mosque's courtyard. Saad's grave is located here. Bonsai trees also grow here, in the shade of which there are benches for tired Muslims.

All mosques in the world have the same rules. Most Muslim temples have separate halls for men and women. One day I was not allowed into the mosque because it did not have a women's prayer hall. Only a little girl or a grandmother can be allowed into such a temple. It is important that men have their heads covered, and women must cover their entire bodies. According to Muslim rules, if you enter a mosque, it means you are planning to pray. One cannot worship Allah if the body is “unclean.” I know tourists who revere Islam so much that before entering the mosque they wash their hands and feet (at least with a damp cloth). By the way, many mosques have special places for such ablutions. I myself have seen many times how tourists try to get into the temple, covering their heads with a scarf or headscarf. But you need to dress so that your neck, wrists, ankles and all your hair are covered.

Information for tourists:

• Mosque address: 56, Guangta Road, Yuexiu District (subway station - Ximenkou line);
• opening hours: for Muslims and tourist groups from 8:00 to 17:00 (non-Muslims can view the interior through the entrance arch);
• the entrance is free.

The prayer hall of the Huaisheng Mosque was reconstructed in 1935 - then the walls were built of concrete

The Temple of the Six Banyan Trees is the main religious attraction of Guangzhou. This temple was built in 537, and the main relics of the cult place were valuables brought from India. Previously, the temple was called differently. It was given its modern name in 1099 (at the initiative of the Chinese poet Su Dongbo). It is believed that banyan trees grow in the courtyard of the temple complex, and their crown protects all the buildings from adversity.

In addition to the main building, the complex also has the Hua Ta flower pagoda, whose height is 55 meters. The spire of the pagoda is crowned with a copper staff, the height of which is 5 tons. The geometry of the flower pagoda is also interesting. Each octagonal tier is narrower than the previous one, this creates a cone effect, which symbolizes the ascent along the heavenly path. Now the pagoda houses the Buddhist Association, but you can still enter there (though for a fee).

Information for visitors:

• Address: Temple of the Six Banyan Trees, 87, LiuRong Road, Yuexiu District (subway station - Gongyuanqian);
• Opening hours: from 9:00 to 17:30;
• entrance fee: 5 yuan (you need to pay 10 yuan to enter the pagoda).

Little remains of the original 6th-century building - the temple has been rebuilt several times during its long history.

Natural beauty of Guangzhou

In Guangzhou, natural attractions include rivers, picturesque mountains with lakes and islands. Many natural attractions are also interesting because ancient artifacts or places of worship are stored in their depths.

Lotus Mountains

Lotus Mountains (Lianhuashan) is a natural monument with an amusement park on its territory. For the convenience of tourists, playgrounds, restaurants, walking trails and even a water park were built here. At the very top of the main mountain there is a statue of Buddha Guanyin (1994) 40 m high. The unique sculpture is covered with 9 kg of gold.

Previously, the Lotus City was located in this area (XVII). Evidence of its existence is still found on the picturesque slopes. In one of the gorges there are the ruins of the Lotus Pagoda. Interestingly, the name of the mountains is not associated with the delicate flower growing here. It’s just that once upon a time one of the local residents thought that the tops of these mountains looked like an open lotus flower. Moreover, some slopes have no landscaping at all. Previously, there was a stone quarry in the rocks. For centuries, people mined natural materials, but the mountains were never able to recover.

Information for tourists:

• address: Lianhua Shan Village, Panyu District (metro station - Shiqi, further by taxi);
• Official website of the amusement park: http://pylianhuashan.com;
• Opening hours: daily from 08:00 to 18:30;
• The water park and attractions are open during daylight hours.
• entrance fee: from 27 yuan (children under 1.5 m tall - free).

In August, the national Lotus Festival is held in the Lotus Mountains (at this time, costume performances are held here, national dances are shown, calligraphy is practiced and souvenirs are sold)

Pearl River

The Pearl River (Zhujiang) is the third largest river (after the Yellow River and Yellow River) in Guangzhou. It is surprisingly clean, and the length of its embankment is more than 2200 km. The Pearl River begins in the mountains and ends in the South China Sea (70 km from the city line). Every evening tourists and city residents gather here. There is a good view from the embankment. In addition, tourists here may be interested in pedestrian bridges and Shamyan Island, which is washed by the Pearl River on all sides (by the way, there are many colonial mansions on the island).

Previously, this river was called the Pearl Sea, because the width of the stream was 2 km, but now the distance between the banks does not exceed 170 m. The history of the name of the river is associated with the disappeared rock, the dust of which polished the sandy bank of the river. In a clear year, the river bottom shimmers.

Information for tourists:

• River cruise schedules vary by marina (between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm);
• There are several piers on the river, popular: City pier (Xidi) - Huangsha metro station (exit D);
• cost of walks on the water: from 35 yuan.

The embankment is home to not only Guangzhou's skyscrapers, but also other attractions: Huangpu Academy, Xinghai Concert Hall and Tianzi Dock

Baiyun is a ridge of low mountains with a total area of ​​28 km 2. The highest point of Baiyun is 382 meters. The name of the mountain means “Mountain of White Clouds”. This is due to the fact that from the top you can view the surroundings covered with clouds. This place has been popular for over 2000 years. People came here before our era, and in the 3rd century, rich people from the Tang dynasty arranged a resort holiday on the slopes of these mountains. Baiyun is one of the Eight Wonders of the World in Guangzhou.

In the 20th century, the unique natural monument began to be used for tourism purposes. A cable car was built, attractions were installed, bird and sculpture parks were opened, and a golf area was organized. Tourists here may be interested in Buddhist sculptures, a mobile phone tower (one of the most beautiful in the region) and the Mingzhulo Pavilion (the Nanzhensi Temple is located here). There is also a natural spring called Tsliulun, the water of which is considered healing.

Information for tourists:

• Address: Baiyun Shan, Nanlu, Fengjing District;
• Convenient metro access to Chen Clan Academy station;
• Opening hours: daily, from 8:00 to 20:00;
• Entrance - 5 yuan.

Today, the Baiyun Mountains are not only nature: enterprising Chinese have organized an entire resort here, however, without in any way detracting from the richness and beauty of the landscapes

What to see depending on the time of year

Guangzhou is warm all year round, but can get chilly in winter. At an air temperature of 15–20 o C, a Russian will be comfortable, but such a vacation cannot be called a resort vacation. Water parks, for example, close in late autumn and winter. Temples, museums and natural attractions can be visited all year round. Seasonal attractions in Guangzhou include the Spring Festival.

Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is a large traditional festival held at the end of January. This is a colorful event on an urban scale, which attracts not only residents of the province, but also foreign tourists. At this time, the city streets are decorated in the best Chinese traditions. Squares become like blooming gardens. As part of the celebration, a flower festival opens, when hundreds of flower arrangements appear in city squares - bouquets, topiaries, installations, etc.

You can visit this festival for free; you won’t be able to pass it by, since the whole city is involved at this time. You will only need to pay for entertainment if you take part in it (face painting, attractions, florist services, etc.). And at this time, traditional Chinese food is sold right on the streets. True, you should try it only if you are sure that your body can handle it.

The most beautiful and large-scale part of the spring holiday is the flower festival

Children's activities in Guangzhou

In Guangzhou, a child will love everything - from skyscrapers illuminated at night to cheap street food. But there are places that I especially recommend for tourists with children to go to - an entertainment center and a local history museum.

Chimelong Amusement Park

Chimelong is one of the largest entertainment centers in Asia. There is an amusement area called Chimelong Paradise (more than 60 types of entertainment). In addition to rides on slides and carousels, tourists can watch performances by magicians and acrobats; in the evenings, motorcycle shows with special effects are held. Chimelong also has a safari park. This is a national reserve, which is the largest in Asia. Not far from the safari zone there is a bird park. Among the 100 species of rare birds are flamingos, crested ibises, golden pheasants, etc.

For lovers of water treatments, there is a water park, which, among the many slides, also has special water activities for small children. Parents of young tourists can visit the local golf club or recreation area. By the way, there is also a hotel complex in Chimelong. There are three types of hotels to suit every taste, the most popular is the Panda Hotel (there are themed rooms, most of which are adapted for children).

Information for tourists:

• Address: Huan Yuan Zhong Lu (Hanxi Changlong metro station);
• official website: http://chimelong.com;

The bird park, which was previously a crocodile farm, is the largest wetland park in the country (1,500 chicks are born here every year). hotel, a child can stay for free if there is a special cot in the parent’s room. The International Circus in Chimelonga boasts the largest circus arena in the world, the new Forest Code show and realistic scenery. The inhabitants of the safari park: Honduran anteaters, koalas, black rhinoceroses, white tigers, the only panda triplets in the world, etc.

Provincial Museum of Local Lore

The local history exhibition in Guangdong province opened in 2010. The purpose of creating the museum is to educate local residents, so the audio guide and tours of the museum are all in Chinese. In fact, the museum’s collection has been collected since 1959. A building was allocated for the exhibition (the museum was located there until 2003). But the museum’s fund expanded so much that there was little space, and the city authorities decided to build a separate multifunctional building for the museum. The area of ​​exhibition halls of the modern museum is 21,000 m2.

The local history museum has several zones: about history, nature, folk crafts, books, children's games, etc. The child should like all zones. The exhibits presented are unique in themselves, and in combination with Asian flavor, it all looks even more unusual. Parents of a little tourist can relax in special areas. There is also a souvenir shop on the ground floor of the museum (tourists especially like ceramic miniature figures).

My friend Roman often travels to China for work. He usually attends industrial exhibitions and brings back equipment for sewing production. A year ago he traveled to China with his wife and child. In one of the local history museums, he bought souvenirs and gifts for family and friends. It’s interesting that in addition to the usual little things (elephants, keychains, magnets, etc.), such shops can also sell antique-style items. He brought me a wall lamp. At first I thought it was some kind of antique thing - decorated with carvings and some kind of gems. And when I looked closer, I realized that it was a remake (but very beautiful). Later, Roma admitted that these souvenirs, it turns out, are not expensive at all; anyone can afford a couple of such things.

• address: Zhujiang East Road, Zhujiang New City, Tianhe District (next to the Pearl River, metro station - Zhujiang Xincheng);
• can also be reached by bus routes No. 40, 44, 183, 293, 886 and 886 “A”;

How long does it take to look around the city?

Judging by the reviews of tourists, the wait at the local airport can last up to 10 hours. At this time, city guests try to spend their waiting hours exploring the sights. But you can’t explore Guangzhou in a few hours. Just to walk along the pedestrian street and look into a couple of shops can take a whole day. A full-fledged excursion without visiting museums and churches is impossible. Therefore, it is best to come to Guangzhou for at least 5–6 days. During this time you will need a hotel room. Here you need to be prudent. You need to choose a hotel in China not only based on the cost or number of stars of the rooms. It is ideal if the hotel administrators speak Russian or at least English.

My friends who often visit China ask the administrator to write the addresses of the necessary attractions in hieroglyphs. The fact is that some taxi drivers may not recognize names and addresses if they are written in Latin. By the way, it is also better to get taxi numbers from the administrator. Unlike Russia, Chinese illegal cab drivers register their cars in the same way as officially registered taxi drivers (such drivers ask for double or even triple payment for their services).

A few tips to help you spend your holiday in Guangzhou in comfort:

Guangzhou is considered the fourth largest city in China and is the capital of the Chinese province of Guangdong. Guangzhou is a very developed city in terms of many areas of human activity: economics, science, technology, politics, culture, education, industry and much more.

Must-see attractions in Guangzhou

Below is a list of 18 main attractions in Guangzhou with photos that you should familiarize yourself with first.

Guangzhou TV Tower is the second tallest TV tower in the world. Its construction began in 2005 and was completed by 2010 by ARUP. The opening was timed to coincide with the Asian Games of the same year. The height of the television tower is 600 meters, 450 of which are a combination of a hyperboloid load-bearing mesh shell and a central core.

It is separated from the mainland part of the city by the Pearl River. What is noteworthy on this island is the complete absence of traditional Chinese buildings. European architecture of the early twentieth century predominates here, there are many cozy squares, parks, restaurants and cafes. The island is completely different from the rest of the metropolis.

Even if you're not a Puccini fan, it's worth a visit to see this grand masterpiece of modern architecture from the inside.

537 year of construction and the Pagoda of Flowers with a height of 57 meters.

One of the attractions of Guangzhou is the mountains called Baiyun. Officially, these high mountains are listed under the name Baiyunshan. They are a formation of thirty peaks covering a total of 28 km2. Currently, the Baiyun Mountains are one of the most popular tourist destinations.

This place serves as a kind of demonstration of the funeral traditions of the famous Lingnan culture, which dates back to the first century AD.

This is one of the most ancient places in the city, attractive not only for its surroundings, but also for its many shops.

In Guangdong province there is an unusual multifunctional exhibition complex, opened in 2010. Here, visitors are presented with unique artifacts and works of art, thanks to which they can clearly trace the development of the history of the region from prehistoric times to modern days.

In addition to the beautiful panorama and the opportunity to take great pictures, this place attracts tourists with its botanical garden and the Temple of the Nine Dragons.

Among the parks of Guangzhou, Yuexiu Park stands out noticeably. It simultaneously serves as a recreational facility and is a well-known element of the historical plan. It contains monuments that are important for the city's history. One of them is a statue of the Five Goats, who were supposedly assistants to the people who founded Guangzhou.

The Lotus Mountains are known for their picturesque and graceful appearance. They rise above the tranquil landscape of the Pearl River and thus give a futuristic flavor to the whole of Guangzhou.

From airport to city

28 km from the city is Baiyun International Airport, one of the largest in Southern China. You can fly here from almost any major city in Asia and many large cities in Europe and America. The easiest way to get to the city from the airport is by metro line 3. Trains run every 5-10 minutes, travel time is about 50 minutes. Ticket price - 12 CNY. In addition, buses run from the airport to the city, but there is a risk of being stuck in traffic for a long time.

Of course, taxi services operate around the clock at the airport; the trip will cost 120-150 CNY.

The Pearl River is also known as the Pearl River. It is the third longest and second deepest river in China.

The name of the river is often associated with a rock that stands in the center of the river in the Guangzhou region. Rolled over centuries by the waves to shine, it shines like a pearl. According to another version, the name of the river was given by pearl shells found in it in the Guangzhou region. There is another legend about the origin of the name. It is about Persian merchants who lost here the treasure of the nation - a pearl of great price, which became a huge stone.

The Pearl River plays a huge role in Chinese life. Flowing through Guangzhou, it is one of the city's scenic sites. Its shores are decorated with tall hotel and office buildings, reflected in the evenings by lights in its rushing waters. Boat trips along the river are popular.

The lower 450 meters of the tower are a hyperboloid mesh shell around a central core-base, and the remaining height is made up of a graceful spire.

Zhujiang

The Pearl River or Pearl River is the third longest river in China after the Yangtze and Yellow River, with a length of about 2,200 kilometers. In terms of abundance, it ranks second after the Yangtze. When it flows into the South China Sea, it forms a wide delta south of Guangzhou, which turns into an estuary on the shores of which Macau and Hong Kong are located. At the entrance to the estuary is the mountainous Wanshan Archipelago.

In Guangdong province, a 3,618-meter suspension bridge spans the river. On the Pearl River, partly on the islands in its delta, stands one of the largest cities in China - Guangzhou. Other major cities on the Pearl Delta islands are Foshan and Zhongshan. Large cities on the river estuary, except Macau and Hong Kong, are Shenzhen and Zhuhai.

Pearl fishing is developed on the Pearl River, which gave the name to the river - initially it referred only to the navigable branch of the Xijiang River delta, on which Guangzhou is located, but then the name “Pearl River” began to be used for the entire Xijiang River basin.

Zhujiang is formed at the confluence of the Xijiang "western river", Dongjiang "eastern river" and Beijiang "northern river". The Pearl River is one of the most polluted waterways in the world.

Guangzhou Baiyun Airport is one of the largest international airports in the People's Republic of China, serving more than thirty million passengers annually. The airport is located 28 kilometers from the city of Guangzhou.

"Baiyun" translated into Russian means "white clouds". The airport received such a poetic name from the mountain of the same name, which is located nearby. This airport is also popularly called "New Baiyun". Despite its international status, Guangzhou Baiyun specializes more in domestic flights and cargo transportation within China.

Today, Guangzhou Baiyun is one of the most congested airports in China. It was built in 2004 to replace the old airport, which bore the same name. However, despite the huge terminal and two runways, Guangzhou Baiyun almost immediately encountered a huge influx of passengers. In the future, it is planned to expand the airport and build an additional runway.

Huaisheng Mosque

Huaisheng Mosque is one of the few mosques in Guangzhou and throughout southern China that many people know by its appearance. This mosque is also known as the Lighthouse Tower. This is one of the oldest mosques in the world, built according to the most approximate dates about 1300 years ago. The mosque has a main minaret 36 meters high. It is called "Guanta", which can literally be translated as "tower of light". The name has two symbolic meanings.

First of all, this means that the minaret was a beacon for guiding ships heading to the city along the Pearl River. The second meaning has a deeper meaning. According to ancient manuscripts, the mosque was built by the Prophet Muhammad's uncle Saad ibn Abu Waqqas during his first Muslim mission to China in 630. Therefore, the Tower of Light can allegorically mean “the light of the Islamic religion.”

Sun Yat-sen University

Sun Yat-sen University was founded in 1924.

Temple of the Six Banyan Trees

One of the most famous monuments in Guangzhou is the ancient Buddhist temple complex of the Six Banyan Trees. It was built in 537 during the reign of Emperor Datong of the Liang Dynasty. The original name of the temple was different - it was called Baozhuanyan, or “Temple of the Precious Relic”. The name was changed after the temple was rebuilt in 989, when it was damaged by a severe fire.

In 1100, during a visit to Guangzhou, a poet named Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, visited this temple and later dedicated a short poem to it entitled "Six Banyan Trees." A banyan tree actually grew on the territory of the temple; the local landscape made a great impression on the poet. Since then, the poet’s catchphrase has been firmly attached to the name of the temple, and it began to be called the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees.

A major reconstruction of the temple was carried out in 1875, and in 1931 most of the wooden buildings were replaced with stone ones. On the territory of the temple complex you can see pavilions with gilded Buddha statues, gazebos and a grotto. Several banyan trees also grow here. True, these are not at all the same trees that remember the founding of the temple, but they are also very old.

The main attraction of the temple complex is one of the tallest pagodas in China - the 57-meter Pagoda of Flowers, which has 17 floors.
