Guangzhou Tower, also known as Guangzhou New TV Tower, nicknamed Xiaomanyao, is located at the intersection of the central axis of Guangzhou New City and the Pearl River landscape axis. It is located near Chigang Tower in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, and is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. The total construction area of the Guangzhou Tower is 114054 square meters, the main body height is 454 meters, the antenna mast is 146 meters high, the total height is 600 meters, there is a "spider-man plank road" at 168~334.4 meters, there is a revolving restaurant at 422.8 meters, there is a Ferris wheel at 450~454 meters, and there is a "extreme speed cloud" speed drop amusement project at 4455~485 meters. The Guangzhou Tower was completed in September 2009, and officially opened to the public on September 30, 2010, and officially opened ticket sales and reception of tourists on October 1, 2010. The Guangzhou Tower has won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, the Zhan Tianyou Award, the Luban Award, the China Gold Award for Building Structure, and the Fredik Centennial Major Building Award.
I recommend visiting the Canton Tower at night to take in the lights on the mountain. This makes it easier to get great photos. However, parking is difficult nearby, so you can park nearby. There are some parking lots nearby where locals can guide you, which is also more affordable. However, be sure to go before 9:30 AM, otherwise the view won't be as beautiful after the lights go out, and you won't be able to take the elevator up.

It was nice to be able to see the Guangzhou Tower up close. The night view of the Pearl River wasn't as good as the ones on the internet. The photographer initially charged 30 yuan per photo, but then asked for 40 yuan when I paid.
Enjoy the nightscape of Guangzhou from both sides of the Pearl River. Departing from Xidi Wharf, the boat sails east past the Canton Tower and Liede Bridge before returning. It's a truly worthwhile sight. Children under 14 should purchase discounted child tickets.

Guangzhou's Shamian, a place with a breathtaking blend of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign architectural styles, is truly breathtaking! Strolling through it is a relaxing experience, where you can take photos, check in, and simply relax while taking in the historical sites, exotic customs, cultural and creative products, and the delicious food and beautiful scenery. It feels like you've escaped the hustle and bustle of the city.
Shamian, also known as "Shicui Island," is located in the southwest of Guangzhou's urban area. It measures approximately 862 meters from east to west and 287 meters from north to south, covering an area of 0.3 square kilometers.
Shamian was once an important commercial port in Guangzhou. The island once housed a national consulate and boasts the city's most exotic European architectural complex, earning it the nickname "an open-air museum."
Before 1859, Shamian Island was primarily inhabited by fishermen. Following the outbreak of the Second Opium War in 1859, Shamian officially began the development of a concession, becoming an independent, enclosed area. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, a relatively complete residential area developed within the concession.
Shamian Island boasts 137 ancient and valuable trees, including ancient camphor trees, which are primarily found along Shamian North Street and Shamian Main Street. Shamian's overall layout is "three horizontal and five vertical," with architectural styles primarily including Neo-Baroque, Pseudo-Gothic, Arcade, and Neoclassical. Key attractions within the scenic area include the former Customs House, the Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, and the Shamian Synagogue.
Shamian is a renowned historical and cultural scenic area. In 1996, it was designated a "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Site." In 2000, the Shamian Historical and Cultural District was designated as one of the first historical and cultural protection zones by the Guangzhou Municipal Government.

I came to Baiyun Mountain with anticipation. As soon as I stepped into the mountain gate, the fresh air hit me, as if I took a deep breath for my soul. Walking along the winding path, there are lush trees on both sides, and the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, like a carefully painted painting by nature.
Along the way, the singing of birds is endless, and they jump happily on the branches, adding a touch of agility to this quiet forest. Not far away, I saw a clear stream, the stream was gurgling, and the wild flowers by the stream were dotted, red, yellow, and purple, as if waving to tourists. I couldn't help squatting down and scooping up a handful of stream water. It was so cool that it instantly dispelled the summer heat.
Continuing to climb, the mountain road gradually became steeper, but every step higher, the vision became wider. Finally, I climbed to the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. The high-rise buildings of the city were in full view, and a prosperous scene was at my feet. Baiyun Mountain not only has natural beauty, but also made me feel the power of climbing and the joy of growth.

In Guangzhou, Beijing Road Pedestrian Street is a charming place. Stepping into this quaint street, it seems to travel through time and space. There are many ancient buildings, blue bricks and black tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and every detail tells the vicissitudes and thickness of history. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the dazzling array of goods is dazzling. There are traditional handicrafts, exquisite jade, embroidery, and various special snacks, with fragrance. I was attracted by a sugar painting shop. Watching the master's skillful hand, the syrup turned into lifelike butterflies and ponies, crystal clear, and people couldn't put it down. Walking in it, you can also hear the melodious melody of Cantonese opera, which is the unique charm of Lingnan culture. There is both the precipitation of ancient culture and the prosperity of modern business. The perfect blend of tradition and fashion makes people linger.

Good time for weekend leisure | A popular hair salon hidden in the pedestrian street💈
Walking around Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street on the weekend, I accidentally discovered that Rongrong Hair Extension Shop also has caviar care, so I did a hair care by the way!
The store mainly does hair extensions, and there are many customers on weekends. Fortunately, there is no need to wait!
The clerk first helped me wash my hair, then applied caviar care cream, and then used a heating machine to spray it for a while. It can be washed in about 20 minutes🧽
Blow-drying my hair, I got a smooth head of hair, the effect is good!
