This apartment is so good! The room is clean and warmly furnished. The environment is elegant and quiet, making people relax. Xiaoqian at the front desk is intimate and professional, and satisfying. Close to the zoo, it is convenient to watch animals. It is a good choice for accommodation and recommended to everyone!
There are not many people. After the sun goes down, I feel very cold. The overall experience is still possible. It is only when I found that the original rafting lifebuoys have to be rented. I thought it was free, and the price of the food and beverage inside was quite right.

Just came back from the night tour of Tianzi Wharf! Simple two sentences: the third floor ticket is really blood earned! The view is invincible and open, and the whole process is unobstructed. The lights on both sides of the Pearl River flash like gold powder! The line light belt of Liede Bridge is super science fiction, and the lights of the old building and the new building are mixed and matched. The focus is on the waist! The panoramic view of the Guangzhou Tower from the perspective of the third floor is so cool. The light show changes from the powder to blue and then turns green. It is like a glazed column that will shine on the riverside. It is more shocking when it is far away! Friendship reminder: 1️⃣ Jiangfeng thief is fierce! Especially on the bow of the third floor, thin coats must be brought (don't learn that my friend is frozen); 2️⃣ Pick up the ticket at the pier half an hour in advance, and the real-name system must bring an ID card; 3️⃣ Don't rush to get off the boat! The fresh shrimp sausage of "Yinji sausage powder" opposite the pier is 20+ per capita, and the hot and delicious ～
Worried that it would rain, I set a card seat on the first floor, a table of four seats, small snacks and free tea on the table, and you can also go to the third floor deck to take pictures. There are also Cantonese opera and singing performances on the boat. The singer also interacts with the children and presents small gifts. The children have fun.

Guangdong Science Center[1] is a non-profit public welfare institution with the theme of "Nature, Humanity, Science, and Civilization". It is a social science and technology activity venue that provides popular science education to the public. It is a demonstration attraction for popular science tourism and leisure. The construction of Guangdong Science Center cost RMB 1.9 billion and took nearly five years to complete. It was completed and opened on September 26, 2008. [2]
Guangdong Science Center is located in Guangzhou University City. It is a large-scale comprehensive popular science venue for Guangdong Province to implement the strategy of developing Guangdong through science and education and the strategy of strengthening the province through talents and to improve the scientific and cultural literacy of the whole people. Guangdong Science Center has four major functions: popular science education, scientific and technological achievements display, international academic exchanges and popular science tourism. It is one of the largest popular science education bases in China and even in Asia, a representative project of green buildings in my country, an important window for the display of scientific and technological achievements in Guangdong Province, and a city card for Guangzhou.
Content ⬆️, it is no worse than the California Science Center. There is room for improvement in management. I continue to cheer. I hope to add more graphic slogans for young children. In addition to science popularization, public awareness and order habits should be cultivated, such as not jumping in the queue, not screaming, caring for facilities, etc.

Originally because there was no reservation to buy free museum tickets, but after I went there, I felt that the value for money was excellent, and all kinds of jewelry were really beautiful. I have to sigh that the previous jewelry can really be passed on from home, from workmanship to creativity are very beautiful.
Praise! The delivery speed is very fast, the packaging is very careful, the customer service reply is also fast, and the attitude is good. The most important thing is that the quality of the goods is very good, 100% genuine, can stand inspection, is a good business, it is worth buying!

The museum is very good, the exhibition is a bit old, I hope it can be updated, the tomb of the king did not see it, this is a pity, I hope that the next time I go can make up, the whole museum building is unique, very out of many museums
The history of Guangzhou City's origins is very interesting, from narrow to wide, from the dark interior to the bright outdoors, the strong contrast between the front and back is impressive. The history of the South Vietnamese Kingdom and the excavated treasures are the best witness to the long history of Chinese civilization. Worth a visit.

Highlights: Deep-sea exhibition tanks (Guinness record) | Over 10 marine shows (Daily)

It is more sold outside, and there is no need to bask in the sun in a good place for parent-child travel. If there are fewer people selling at the door, it is much better. It is also very annoying to chase after asking since entering the door. But the scenic spot is very suitable for parent-child couples to travel
Marine life is generally the same, too far from Zhuhai. The animal survival space is too small. It is also a small shark. But the mermaid show is worth 80% of the fare. For the beautiful mermaid sister, it must be praised. Super shocking!

Shamian: A century-old treasure box by the Pearl River Shamian Island is like a time-polished amber, set on the banks of the Pearl River Baigetan. This projectile land, once a British and French concession, has preserved more than 150 European-style buildings, gothic spires, baroque carved domes, coupon-style arched balconies, scattered in the shade of ancient trees. Walking on the street, the air roots of the century-old banyan tree fell like a curtain, the cicadas through the iron fence, and the coffee fragrance on the terrace weave a lazy atmosphere during the day, the sun splashed through the colorful windows on the ground, and the wedding dress of the newcomer swept across the blue stone road; At night, street lights dyed the arcade of Shamian South Street, and the Pearl River water vapor wrapped in jazz music, dragging people into the slow scenes of old movies. This is the open-air museum of architectural art: the rose window of the Shamian Hall tells the story of faith, the minarets of the Shamian Christ Church point directly to the sky, and the dome of the Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum hides the secrets of the colonial era. And the corner of the sandy primary school, children's laughter through the century-old brick wall, and the heavy history formed a wonderful resonance. Visitors can open the wooden door of a cafe at will, look at old photos under the retro chandelier, or sit on a stone bench by the river, watch the cargo ship slowly row across the modern high-rise building, feel the gentle collision of ancient and modern here. The charm of the sand face lies in its double narrative written in masonry and grassboth a slice of modern history and a footnote to current life. No need to deliberately explore the attractions, just let the footsteps follow the rise, stop under an old tree, stop in front of an arch, you can touch the inclusive background of Guangzhou "millennium business capital": it used to passively open the country door, but now it smiles with an open attitude, let the folds of history, There are always live fireworks.
Shamian, Guangzhou, is amazing!
The palm-sized island is full of stylish old buildings, red bricks, green tiles, arched corridors, and a casual shot is a retro blockbuster.
Walking here, it feels like traveling back a hundred years ago, but when you turn around, you can see the cruise ships on the Pearl River. The modern and the past meet here, which is very interesting!
Come during the day, stroll under the shade of the trees, the sun is not shining, and the river breeze blows, it is so comfortable. The aerial roots of the old banyan tree hang down like a door curtain. Sit on the bench and be in a daze for a while, and all your worries will be gone.
Cafes and taverns are hidden in old houses. Order a cup of iced lemon tea and watch people coming and going, and you can spend an afternoon.
It's even better at night. When the lights are on, the old buildings are like a layer of gold. The night view of the Pearl River is right in front of you. Couples walking, tourists taking pictures, and neighbors taking a walk are lively but not noisy.
If you are hungry, just turn around and you will find Shangxiajiu, where you can eat rice noodle rolls, wonton noodles, double skin milk... Guangzhou's time-honored brands are gathered together, and you will be so hungry that you will have to walk with your hands on the wall!
Shamian is not big, but it is worth visiting. Every time you come here, you can find something new - graffiti on the corner, carvings on a certain building, or just sit by the river and watch the old man fishing.
This place is like Guangzhou's "leisure switch", no matter how busy a person is, his pace will slow down when he comes.

It's really beautiful. Maybe we went during the day. It didn't feel much. Next time, I will leave a regret. Go see it at night. The park is very big. Many elderly people look very comfortable in this life. Dancing. Singing. Very comfortable.
Many people can't turn on the lights. There are a lot of people walking. It is very tired and tired. It seals some roads to make the trip more tired. It is suitable for the elderly and children with good legs and strong bodies. The journey is shorter and better. It is more comfortable.
