Guangzhou Taste Journey: From Historical Charm to Herbal Tea Fragrance.
Day 1:
As the sun rises, I step into Yuexiu Park, a testament to Guangzhou's history. The park is filled with towering ancient trees and lush green grass, with the Five Rams Statue standing quietly on the lawn, symbolizing Guangzhou. I stroll along the park's paths, feeling the weight of history and the passage of time. Next, I head to the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, a gem of Guangzhou's architecture. The hall's exquisite design, with its intricate wood carvings, stone carvings, and plaster sculptures, showcases the superb craftsmanship of its builders. I pause to admire these beautiful artworks, almost hearing history softly echoing in the air.
Day 2:
In the morning, I visit the Guangzhou Herbal Tea Museum, a testament to the city's traditional culture. The museum displays a rich collection of herbal tea-related artifacts and historical materials, from ancient herbal tea recipes to traditional making tools. Each exhibit tells the story of herbal tea's history and culture. Following the guide, I wander through different exhibition areas, listening to fascinating stories about herbal tea, feeling as if I've traveled back in time to that traditional era. Later, I head to the Zhongda Wharf by the Pearl River, ready to embark on a night cruise. As night falls and the lights come on, the banks of the Pearl River are illuminated brilliantly, with the Canton Tower shining like a giant lighthouse, lighting up the night sky. I board the cruise ship, and as it slowly moves forward, the picturesque scenery unfolds along the river, from Zhongda Wharf to Haixinsha and then to the Canton Tower, each spot beautifully adorned with lights. Standing at the bow, I feel the gentle breeze of the river and enjoy the city's night view, letting my soul relax in the historical charm and herbal tea fragrance.
