I plan to take my girlfriend to Guangzhou for four or five days in the summer vacation. What are the strategies?

I have lived in Guangzhou for four years. When you are free, make an appointment with your friends to punch in at the scenic spots in Guangzhou. Even I have been to many scenic spots myself, and found several places quite suitable for couples to play. Let me give you a guide with my play experience ~

Day 1: Sacred Heart Cathedral of Shishi → Beijing Road → Big Buddha Temple.

The next day: Guangdong Provincial Museum → Taikoocang

Day 3: Guang Zhouta → Pearl River Night Tour.

Day 4: Shamian → Shangxiajiu

I'm here to introduce the route of Day4, and I punched in the card for three times in Shamian. It really feels very good ~ The Sacred Heart Cathedral in Stone Chamber of Day1is actually a church, but it is not open to the public because of the influence of YQ, but the photos are still very good. This scenic spot was taken by my classmates shortly after I arrived in Guangzhou. Beijing Road is a pedestrian street, which is quite famous in Guangzhou. The Great Buddha Temple is on Beijing Road. The night view of the Great Buddha Temple is very beautiful.

Day2 can mainly go to Taikoocang, but the consumption there is quite high.

It's good to take photos in Guang Zhouta on the third day, and the night tour of the Pearl River is also suitable for couples. If you don't go to Guang Zhouta and just visit the Pearl River in the evening, it will cost two people 100+.

Let me talk about the raiders of Day4 Shamian → Shangxiajiu:

Sand surface

Shamian, located in Liwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, was once an important commercial port in Guangzhou. After the Opium War, it became a concession between Britain and France and a microcosm of China's modern history and old concession. The history of the sand surface has been preserved here forever in the form of architecture. The European architecture on the island contains the elegant charm left by the old days, and now it has become the choice for many people to take wedding photos.

Transportation: Take Metro 1 Line or Line 6 to Huangsha Station Exit E, exit and cross the overpass opposite to reach the destination Shamian;

Take bus No.219, 236, 270, 297, 538, 552 and get off at No.623 station. You can also take bus No.81,106, 1 10, 238 and 538 and get off at the Cultural Park Station.

If you drive, just navigate to the sand surface.

Admission: free.

Play season: all year round

Recommended tour route: Shamian North Gate-Shamian Club-Notre Dame de Lourde-Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum-Old Museum Collection-Customs Dormitory-Christian Shamian Hall-Shamian Exhibition Hall-Starbucks Selection-former site of HSBC.

Must-see attractions:

① Christian Shamian Hall ★★★★★★

The Victorian style church is located on the west side of Shamian, and it also integrates the characteristics of Lingnan architecture. It is the wedding shrine of many Christians in Guangzhou.

② Shamian Exhibition Hall ★★★★★★★

If you don't know much about the buildings and areas of the sand surface, you can go to the sand surface exhibition hall to learn about the historical changes of the sand surface, which is helpful for the next play experience.

③ Shamian Starbucks ★★★★★★★★★

Known as the most beautiful Starbucks in Guangzhou, order a cup of coffee at a European Tiffany Blue House in Shamian and slowly feel the afternoon in Shamian. This is the only Starbucks in China with blue architectural style, which gives people the first impression that it has flashed to Europe in a second.

④ Former site of HSBC ★★★★★★★

The former site of HSBC is an excellent location for many art photos. Baroque brown buildings, huge Roman columns, full of classicism and retro feeling. Many young people like to take pictures here.

Play time: 2-3 hours

After punching in the sand, you can go to the nearby Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street ~ Shangxiajiu is a pedestrian street with a long history in Guangzhou, but it is becoming more and more commercialized now. Compared with previous years, there are fewer visitors, but it's good to go there for sightseeing or eating. It takes about 6 minutes to drive from Shamian to Shangxiajiu without traffic jam. I usually go on foot, about 20 minutes. You can go there.

Shangxiajiu mainly comes to punch in and eat. Personally recommend Taotaoju, an old brand in Guangzhou.

Taotaoju is mainly a place to eat, but we usually call it "drinking tea". Boiled chicken feet, shrimp dumplings and smooth and beautiful Portuguese egg tarts all taste good and the price is not bad. Two people can eat enough for about 200 yuan, and the taste is sweet and light. If they like heavy taste, they may not be used to it.

Accommodation recommendation is Zhefei changshou road Store near Shangxiajiu, which is transformed from traditional xiguan big house. It's a bit like a Jianghu inn, which can be reached in a few minutes' walk. Right next to the changshou road subway station, the price is 150+, which is cost-effective and comfortable.

Personal advice:

You can bring more sets of different styles of clothes to play in Shamian. It's really nice to take a picture in it. Many people even go there to take a photo, don't miss this opportunity ~

It is recommended to choose light-colored clothes, which will be more out of the circle. I suggest going in the morning or afternoon. It's really sunny at noon. Retro style is super tactile.

Xia Shangjiu suggested that it would be more lively to go at night. If you have morning tea, you should go early, but Taotaoju is open until evening.
