[2025 Guangzhou Stay] Travel Guide for Guangzhou Baiyun Hotel (Updated May)

This type of food very delicious. I recommend trying this dish when you go to Guangzhou. I’ll definitely go back again to eat lots and lots of other foods too. Thank you!

The excellent food at the Guangzhou Baiyun hotel

This is Guangzhou's earliest and undoubtedly affluent villa district, "Overseas Chinese New Village," also the first area in Guangzhou designated as a cultural relic protection zone. But for some reason, many rumors claim it's an eerie place—is this true? Built in 1958, the Overseas Chinese New Village covers an area of 680,000 square meters, featuring 177 garden-style independent villas and 291 apartments. Surrounded by the bustling Huanshi Middle Road, the neighborhood boasts Guangzhou's first hotel, "Baiyun Hotel," and its first shopping mall, "Friendship Store," making it a lively hub. It's said to have been Guangzhou's CBD back in the day, witnessing the city's prosperity and development. In the early years of the People's Republic, the government specially built this villa district to accommodate overseas Chinese returning to invest in the country. It was funded by a group of patriotic overseas Chinese. Now, 66 years later, many villas appear aged. As most residents have moved abroad, many homes are either rented out or left vacant, leading to gradual deterioration. The neighborhood offers a comfortable living environment with complete amenities, including schools and kindergartens, and convenient transportation—a true school district with high property values, averaging tens of thousands per square meter. A single villa can easily be worth tens of millions. Yet, for some reason, there are many negative rumors about Overseas Chinese New Village, claiming that empty homes are due to it being an "unlucky" place, citing incidents at Heping No. 7 Villa and nearby tombs as reasons people moved away. In reality, these are just rumors. Old Guangzhou had similar stories everywhere—it's all in the past. In this modern age, why believe such superstitions? Guangzhou is a heroic city, once a wartime base, so it's natural to have martyrs' resting places. These martyrs were righteous—what is there to fear? This is prime real estate in Guangzhou, highly sought-after. That's the story of Overseas Chinese New Village, past and present.

Guangzhou Baiyun Hotel I booked the Baiyun Hotel for a business trip to Guangzhou. I was a bit worried at first because the reviews were average, but I thought that as an old five-star hotel, even if the hardware was outdated, the service quality should still be there, so I didn't cancel. The result! There was a surprise! I booked the Executive King (with breakfast for two). After arriving, there were plenty of parking spaces, someone to guide you, and the front desk service was warm and friendly~ After checking in, I went upstairs. When the elevator door opened, I was a bit surprised: it had been renovated. There were also dedicated service staff on the 26th floor~ When I opened the door, the new Chinese-style layout + warm white tone + fragrance, the overall feeling was very good. In terms of cost performance, I really recommend it.

Good trip

Come to Guangzhou and stay at Baiyun Hotel (the price online is more than 600 yuan, which is quite affordable).

Do you know where China's first building over 100 meters high is? It is the Guangzhou Baiyun Hotel, which has occupied the title of "the tallest building in Guangzhou" for more than ten years. Construction began in 1973 and it was designed by Mo Bozhi, a famous academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. At first, heads of state stayed in it. It was not opened to the public until 1983. Not only did its design concept break tradition at the time, it was also synonymous with "fashion" at the time. Being able to come to the Baiyun Hotel was the most "generous" status symbol at the time. To this day, it is still the first choice for "old Guangdong people" to drink tea ~ and it is also one of the landmark buildings ~ In my eyes, these first batch of "veteran" local five-star hotels are often too traditional. Although luxurious, they are a bit old-fashioned and have a strong "era" color. But I didn't expect that when I stepped into the hotel, it gave me a completely refreshing feeling~❤️ Guangzhou Baiyun Hotel is a five-star business hotel located in the core business district of Huanshi East Road. It is almost the first choice hotel for attending the Canton Fair and a popular hotel for foreigners visiting Guangzhou. The layout of the past can still be vaguely seen in the lobby, but from the decoration to the decorations and exhibits, it reflects its attitude and "guts", and it still attracts attention ~ keeping up with the pace of the times. The guest room has been redesigned and renovated, so when I opened the door, my eyes were bright. The room is fully equipped, especially the mattress and pillows that I care about the most, which have a variety of choices. The decoration in the room is a combination of traditional Chinese elements and modern aesthetic lighting atmosphere. There is no trace of an old hotel at all. There is also a small tea table that allows you to feel the "tea life" of Cantonese people. It is very warm and feels like home. Guangzhou is a food capital. Baiyun Hotel is also a gathering place for food. The buffet restaurant "Xiangyun Western Restaurant" has special French foie gras, seafood, sashimi, and lamb chops, which are all worth trying. Of course, there are also traditional Chinese dishes. You can always choose your favorite. And you can overlook the city view of Guangzhou from the window. The environment is very comfortable. The "Baiyunxuan Chinese Restaurant" on the first floor is always packed. It is still the most recognized authentic Cantonese teahouse by locals. In addition to experiencing the traditional Guangzhou teahouse culture, there are also pure tastes and exquisitely crafted traditional Cantonese tea snacks. Each one is worth mentioning. My mouth is watering when I am sorting out the pictures. 😋 It was a really delightful stay experience. The food is traditional and the environment is up-to-date. This "fashionable" hotel that carries the memory of the times is still bringing you new surprises 50 years later. It still cares about you on your journey. It is still looking for innovative "points" and is responsible for the mission of cultural inheritance and dissemination. Friends, please mark it down quickly. If you come to Guangzhou, you might as well come and experience it.

Transportation to Guangzhou Baiyun Hotel: This is an old five-star hotel located at No. 367 Huanshi East Road, Guangzhou, next to the Friendship Store. The geographical location is good and the transportation is very convenient. Room Facilities: This time we stayed in an executive twin room. The room was not very big, but it was very clean and tidy, with relatively new facilities. My favorite part is the Japanese-style tea bar by the window, where you can sit down and leisurely sip tea, eat fruit, and chat about life. Serve: The service was really great. From the lobby manager to the check-in guy and the room cleaning lady, the service was very warm, meticulous and thoughtful. It is worthy of being a five-star hotel, well-trained! FOOD: The hotel's dining is also very good. Baiyunxuan on the first floor, Baiyunyan on the third floor and Xiangyun Western Buffet Restaurant on the 30th floor are all excellent. The quality of the Chinese food at Baiyunxuan is guaranteed, but the price is a bit high. The buffet breakfast on the 30th floor combines Chinese and Western cuisine, with rich varieties, elegant dining environment and excellent service.
