Unlock the charm of Guangzhou, the highlights of Guangzhou Old Town Citywalk Tour

Guangzhou is a city that is particularly suitable for walking around and leisurely citywalk. If you want to take a walk in Guangzhou, I strongly recommend the combination of Shamian Park and Liwan Lake Park. It combines culture and nature, and is relaxing without hurting your legs. 📍Shamian Heritage building blocks, The building complex is a national key cultural relic protection unit and also a 5A scenic spot. With its unique European style and rich historical and cultural background, it is a must-visit destination for tourists in Guangzhou. 🌟A large number of 19th-century European-style buildings have been preserved, including neo-baroque, pseudo-Gothic, arcade, neoclassical and a combination of Chinese and Western styles. 🌟Featured buildings include the former site of the British Consulate, the former site of HSBC Bank, the former site of the Hong Kong Milk Company Ice Factory, the former site of the Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, the former site of the Guangzhou Club, the former site of Standard Chartered Bank, the former site of the Customs Building, and the former site of Jardine Matheson & Co., etc. 👍The buildings in Shamian are very concentrated, so taking a walk and visiting them saves energy. Some of the old buildings have cafes and restaurants where you can stop and have a drink. Free admission transportation Subway: Take Subway Line 1 or Line 6 to Huangsha Station Exit E. Public transportation: Bus No. 181, 64, 823, 57, etc. 📍Liwan Lake Park Free and open 🚉Transportation: Take bus No. 123, 538 or 209, and get off at No. 623 bus stop. Take three or four bus stops from Shamian to reach Liwan Lake Park. 🌟One of the most Lingnan-style parks in Guangzhou. Experience the Lingnan water village style. 🌟It consists of Xiaocui Lake, Yucui Lake, Ruyi Lake and Wuxiu Lake. 🌟There is a traditional Cantonese opera stage, and there are free Cantonese opera performances every afternoon. You can also take a walk around Liwan Lake and visit the Liwan Museum. 📍Liwan Museum It has a layout of "one museum and four areas". You can complete the overall visit of four old buildings by walking through the alleys, which is a special visiting experience.
