Trip to Guangzhou, China 🇨🇳

It was a trip to Guangzhou, China 🇨🇳When we visited Guangzhou, we were amazed by its blend of modern skyscrapers, historic temples, and scenic river views. Whether you’re capturing the city’s futuristic skyline, ancient cultural sites, or vibrant street life, there’s no shortage of incredible photography spots 📸 Our first stop was the Canton Tower, Guangzhou’s most famous landmark. Standing at 600 meters tall, it offers a spectacular 360-degree view of the Pearl River and city skyline 🏙️ The best shots ✨ are taken from Haixinsha Island or the Liede Bridge, where you can capture the full tower reflection on the river. For a stunning cityscape, visit at sunset when the sky ⛅️ is painted in beautiful hues, or stay until night when the tower lights up in dazzling colors ✨ 📍222 Yuejiang West Road, Haizhu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China We also explored Shamian Island, a peaceful oasis with colonial-style architecture, tree-lined 🌳 streets, and charming cafes. The best spots for photos are the historic buildings with European facades, the riverside promenade, and the quaint cobblestone paths. We recommend visiting in the morning for soft natural light and fewer crowds ✨ 📍Shamian Street, Liwan District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China For a taste of traditional Chinese architecture, we visited the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. The hall’s intricate wood 🪵 carvings, colorful ceramic figurines, and stunning courtyards provide countless photography opportunities 📸 The best shots are taken in the afternoon, when the golden sunlight enhances the details of the carvings and sculptures ✨ 📍34 Enlong Lane, Zhongshan 7th Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China We then explored Huacheng Square, the modern heart of Guangzhou, surrounded by skyscrapers 🏙️ luxury shopping malls, and futuristic architecture. The best photos 📸 are taken at night, when the buildings, including the IFC Tower and Canton Tower, light up ✨ reflecting beautifully on the square’s water features. A tripod is highly recommended for capturing stunning long-exposure shots 📸 📍Zhujiang New Town, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China To end our trip, we hiked up Baiyun Mountain ⛰️ a beautiful natural retreat with panoramic views of Guangzhou’s skyline. The best viewpoint is at Moxing Summit, where you can capture the city skyline rising through the mist. Early morning is the best time to visit, as the sunrise over the city creates a breathtaking view 😍 📍Baiyun Avenue South, Baiyun District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China #discoverchina #travel #vacation
