Tour description

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Guangzhou's history and culture with our exclusive City Center Cultural Tour. This journey is not just a stroll through a bustling street; it's a leap through time, revealing the city's vibrant past and present.

What Does It Consist Of?

We begin at the entrance of the Nanyue Palace Museum. Here, you'll step back 2,200 years to the ancient royal palace. The museum displays the relics of the Nanyue royal garden, and walking among the ruins feels like time travel. 

Next, we'll head to the Guangdong Provincial Department of Finance. Adjacent to it is the Taiping Restaurant, the earliest Western restaurant in Guangzhou. It carries the earliest memories of Western cuisine for the people of Guangzhou. It has attracted many diners, including historical figures such as Zhou Enlai and Lu Xun.

Then, we'll walk to the site of the Thousand-Year Ancient Road. It bears the marks of time, showcasing the road structures from the Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China period. This place is a witness to the thousand-year transformation of Guangzhou, and every stone slab tells a story of the past.

After that, we'll visit the site of the Gongbei Tower. It was the ancient time-reporting center, the location of the ancient Guangzhou timepiece "Copper Pot Clepsydra," and it has witnessed the historical changes of Guangzhou.

Next, we'll arrive at the Great Buddha Temple. In the midst of the bustling city, this magnificent temple stands as a peaceful haven. 

Then, we'll go to the site of the Nanyue Water Gate. Located in the basement of Guangming Guangzhou, it is a marvel of ancient water conservancy engineering. It displays the wisdom of water management during the Nanyue period and is a must-visit place for archaeology enthusiasts.

After that, we'll visit the Lingnan Financial Museum. Hidden in the ancient academy street, this museum showcases the development of finance in the Lingnan area. The exhibitions are very interesting, and you can even try lifting the weight of one million and a gold bar.

Finally, we'll end our tour at the Yao Zhou Site. It was a royal garden during the Nanhans period, with towering ancient trees and numerous stone inscriptions. It is a very tranquil place.
