2025 Guangzhou Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#springitinerary Panda Village at Chimelong Safari Park is hands down one of the cutest spots in the whole park. Tucked away in a peaceful, bamboo-filled area, it’s home to several giant pandas and red pandas just doing their thing — eating, napping, and rolling around like fluffy little clouds. The enclosures are beautifully designed to mimic their natural habitat, and the viewing areas let you get surprisingly close without disturbing them. It’s relaxing, heartwarming, and honestly hard to leave once you’ve locked eyes with a lounging panda. Whether you’re traveling with kids or just love animals, this spot is a must-see. It’s pure panda joy! #PandaVillage #ChimelongSafariPark #GiantPandas #RedPandas #PandaLove #GuangzhouAdventures #WildlifeWonder #TravelChina

#springitinerary Getting to Chimelong International Circus early is all part of the experience. As the gates open and people start to arrive, there’s a real buzz in the air. The colorful lights, lively music, and excited crowd set the mood even before the show begins. You can grab some snacks, snap a few photos, and find your seat in the massive open-air theater. With over 7,000 seats, it’s impressive just looking around! The anticipation builds as showtime gets closer — kids pointing at the stage, cameras clicking, and that feeling that something magical is about to happen. It’s not just a performance — it’s a full evening of excitement from the very beginning. #ChimelongCircus #GuangzhouNights #PreShowMagic #CircusVibes #FamilyAdventure #TravelMoments #ChinaExperience #EveningEntertainment

#广州景点 I was lost while wandering, but I met God and was guided. As soon as I entered, I was shocked by the dome and stained glass windows in the church. If you happen to see the lights on in the church, it is a colorful blessing. The photography is better than in movies and is not inferior to that in foreign countries at all. - ✅About ⛪Church The Sacre-Coeur is one of the four all-stone Gothic church buildings in the world, the other three being Notre Dame de Paris, Westminster Abbey, and Cologne Cathedral! It is also the largest church in the Catholic District of Guangzhou. Friends who come to Guangzhou must visit it. . About 📸Photography 1️⃣: You can take a photo with the church on the stairs opposite or next to the pillars. 2️⃣: After entering the iron gate, walk to the small garden on the right and head toward the top of the tower to take photos of the distant, close-up, or panoramic views. 3️⃣: The main building taken from the aerial view also looks very beautiful. 4️⃣: The cafe next door also has good seats, but you need to make a purchase to go upstairs. I personally think the cost-effectiveness is not high. - Sacred Heart Cathedral, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou 💰: Free, no reservation required 🕰: Closed on Monday Tuesday-Friday 9:30-11:30, 14:30-17:00 Saturday 9:00-14:30, Sunday 13:00-14:30 💢Pay attention to the opening hours, don’t miss it!

#guangzhoutrip Step into a real-life anime scene inspired by Big Fish & Begonia! If you’re in Guangzhou and wondering where to go for a weekend escape without leaving the city—look no further. Tucked away in Panyu lies one of the city’s newest and most photogenic ancient-style landmarks: Chi Song Palace (赤松宫). Every corner is camera-ready, and the best part? It’s totally free to enter! After ten years of reconstruction, Chi Song Palace rises with the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, infused with the spirit of Lingnan culture. The main structure is shaped like a massive gourd, symbolizing blessings and prosperity—a design both symbolic and breathtaking. It’s no exaggeration to say: you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a scene from a Chinese fantasy movie. Top 3 Must-Shoot Photo Spots (aka “Divine Angles”) 1. The Celestial Theatre at Star Pavilion (星宿殿) Climb to the 2nd-floor balcony on the west side and use a wide-angle lens to capture the full curve of the circular theatre. The sweeping blue roof tiles mimic the shape of a giant mythical fish, just like the iconic scenes from Big Fish & Begonia. 2. Heavenly Steps at Sanqing Hall (三清殿) Stand at the bottom of the 99-step staircase and shoot upward—paired with the clouds above, it creates an illusion of stairs to the heavens. 3. Golden Smoke Trail at the God of Wealth Hall (财神殿) Crouch low and wait for the incense smoke to align with the temple’s golden rooftop line—turn on live mode and catch the smoke dancing like a dragon in the clouds. Express Tour Tips (Guangzhou “Special Forces” Style) • Metro: Take Line 4 to Shiqi Station (Exit A) → taxi for about 14 RMB to Chi Song Palace. • By Car: Navigate to “赤松宫停车场”, parking only 10 RMB/day. • Opening Hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, free admission + complimentary incense sticks (3 per person).
