Happy weekend, sleep until you wake up naturally, then meet up with friends for a meal in Zhujiang New Town~~In order not to waste this blue sky and white clouds, I had a sudden idea: why not take a walk around the Canton Tower and check out the beautiful spots recommended by netizens? ❣️Route: Wuyangcun Metro Station Exit B → Guangzhou Bridge → Ersha Island Hongcheng Park → Haixinsha Park → Haixin Bridge → Canton Tower PS: This route was just a casual stroll for me, very smooth all the way~ Walking and stopping to take photos, even on the weekend there weren't many people (except in Haixinsha) and it was just right to wander until dusk, then leave from the Canton Tower Station (off to eat). 📸P1-4: After coming out of Wuyangcun Metro Station, locate the 'Democratic Building', walk forward and you can see the side of Guangzhou Bridge, the camera position is right at the bridge entrance~ 📸P5-6: After taking the first camera position, walk up the Guangzhou Bridge, cross the Pearl River and you will come to Ersha Island Sculpture Park~ You can take photos of the lawn + Canton Tower + tiny human figures 📸Inside the Sculpture Park is Ersha Island Hongcheng Park (the flowers are not very pretty recently, not suitable for photos); through Hongcheng Park is Haixinsha Park, where there are a lot of people on weekends, everyone is picnicking and flying kites, sitting and chatting is very comfortable, but you need to find the right angle for photos (because of the crowd) ✨During dusk, walking on Haixin Bridge is very romantic and beautiful~ Very suitable for dating haha💗💗

My friends thought I had gone abroad, but I am in Guangzhou

Guangzhou, Shamian Island. It is a sandbar formed by the Pearl River, hence the name Shamian. In the early days, Shamian was an important port in Guangzhou. After a hundred years, more than a dozen countries have set up consulates on Shamian, nine foreign banks, more than forty foreign companies operated on Shamian, and the Guangdong Customs Club, Guangzhou Club and others were established on Shamian. With the changes in modern history, Shamian has become a microcosm of China's modern history and the history of concessions. The European-style buildings on Shamian Island have formed a unique open-air architectural 'museum'. Surrounded by ancient trees, shaded by green trees, and fragrant with flowers🌸The sun jumps between the leaves, and from time to time you can hear the birds singing🕊Wandering among these colorful ancient buildings🏰Everywhere is beautiful scenery, free and comfortable, lazy and casual. Every day there are many photography enthusiasts to check in📸Literary and artistic small shops, coffee shops☕️, French restaurants🍽Guangzhou is in a hurry, Shamian is leisurely. Feel the unique Cantonese romance!💕

A historical European oasis in Guangzhou

Shamian Island is my favourite place in Guangzhou and it was my safe haven during my 6 months living there, it was an oasis of calm in such a chaotic city. The Island was divided into concessions given to France and the UK in the 19th century and foreigners lived and worked on the island to help support the export of Chinese products. The island is separated from the mainland by a small river and this created a self contained zone that allowed western nations to establish trade missions without ‘being present’ on the mainland. Ultimately America, France, Holland, Italy, Germany, Portugal, japan and the UK had a presence on the island in big stone mansions along the water. The buildings now house cafes, restaurants and shops and has become a surreal tourist destination, the buildings lining the street were built in the style of their respective western powers so it feels like you could be in Paris, London or Amsterdam. The buildings are grand and imposing as each nation tried to outdo the other with their architectural styles, leaving tree lined boulevards lined with buildings that stand out against the Chinese city that has developed around them. You can reach the island via the Huangsha metro station and then walking over an overpass, also many bus routes have stops just outside the bridge that links the island to greater Guangzhou. I’d really recommend this to anyone living in or visiting Guangzhou who is overwhelmed by the sheer scale and pace of the city, I used to love taking a book or my laptop to the Starbucks and just enjoying the peace. #timetotravel #trip #guangzhou #Europe #chinatravel #history

Snacks will shake the hands of the snacks to create a sound that attracts the attention of the little squirrels. This is the best time to shoot them. There are many parrots in the squirrel paradise. Compared to the little squirrels, the parrots see more tourists.

In Guangzhou’s Sunflower Garden, over 30 types of tulips have been brought in. Hundreds of thousands of tulips have been created into some 30 different scenes and sites by florists, it’s really very fun. Even Ms. Marilyn Monroe showed up on site. From a sea of flowers, her dress billows away in the wind. Even though tulips are the main theme here, don’t forget to look up above. To show various styles of the flowers, the Fair has had many flowers from all over the world suspended from the ceiling for viewers to admire. For example, Cape Leadwort from South Africa, Winged Begonia from Brazil are all beautiful flowers which are not to be missed.

Sunflower Ocean~ Million Sunflower Garden

A decade ago, it was a very popular scenic spot with flowers as the theme. At that time, transportation was very inconvenient. Now it's convenient to go to Nansha. But this scenic spot has declined. However, when a sea of flowers appears in front of you. It's still so beautiful.

The Autumn Cherry Blossom Festival at the Million Sunflower Garden

Because of the Autumn Cherry Blossom Festival at the Million Sunflower Garden, I snapped up two discounted tickets (19.9), took a two and a half hour subway and bus ride, and strolled around inside for over two hours. The autumn cherry blossoms in the garden are indeed beautiful, especially the largest one. Apart from the autumn cherry blossoms, the only thing worth seeing is the sunflowers. Although there are other flowers, not many are attractive. In addition to viewing flowers, the garden has more amusement facilities suitable for children, but some facilities may be out of repair and are no longer open. Even though it was Sunday, there were not many visitors. Transportation: Take subway line 18 to Wanqingsha Station, and take the bus to Million Sunflower Garden Station (about 40 minutes) after exiting from exit D.

Take note, it is more affordable to purchase a ticket in advance through Trip.com than it is at the gate.
