Since I had a baby, it has been impossible to travel at random. Every time I go out, I have to prepare a lot of baby supplies, including baby carriages and luggage.

Traveling with my children is a painful thing for me. The bullet train looks fast, but it's not cheap to take a taxi. You have to take the stairs to change the subway. We often have to take the stairs to arrive at our destination. We are panting from carrying our luggage one by one, and we have to spend time taking a taxi after leaving the station. I really feel tired and tired!

Although my friend said not to buy a car because parking fees, maintenance fees and gas bills in Guangzhou are very expensive, after some calculations, we gritted our teeth and bought a car just to facilitate travel and no longer work as a hard porter.

After some comparison, we chose the Buick Encore S. This medium-sized SUV has a luxurious appearance, large trunk and interior space, making it most suitable for family self-driving tours. We can leave anytime we want to travel, so we don't have to worry about being late and missing the train, and we don't have to get up early to catch the train.

It's rare to have good weather in Guangzhou today, so it would be a pity not to go on a self-driving tour. We drove the Buick Enkway S to Guangzhou. This feeling was great! Recommended one-day tour routes for Guangzhou: Picnic along the Panyu River-Yuyin Shanfang-Huangpu Military Academy-Huangpu Ancient Port.

Picnic along the River in Panyu

Picnics in the park are so noisy that you can't enjoy a moment of tranquility. A friend just said that there are few people along the Pearl River in Nancun Town, Panyu, so we prepared without saying a word.

I usually put outdoor tents, picnic mats, gas stoves and pots, car rice cookers and boiling cups, as well as camping lights, bowls and chopsticks and other small items in the trunk. I can set off anytime if I want to go out and play. I am very satisfied with the trunk of the Buick Encore S. After putting outdoor equipment and picnic baskets, there is still room for a baby carriage.

It's rare for us to have a picnic under the shade of a tree. The Pearl River under the blue sky and white clouds is picturesque. There are boats coming and going on the wide river. The babies next to us are running around. We eat fruit cakes and enjoy the rare comfort time.

Address: Pearl River Side, Nancun Town, Panyu

Subway: Take Guangzhou Metro Line 7 to Exit D of Banqiao Station and walk to the Pearl River

yuyin Mountain House

I originally wanted to go to Lingnan Heyuan, but I found that Yu Yinshanfang was only a few minutes away, so I quickly got on the bus and set out! I don't have high requirements for a car because I want more space in the car if I have children. In addition to the heating function of the steering wheel, the Buick Encore S also has heating, ventilation and other functions, so that the baby can sit comfortably.

Yuyin Shanfang is one of the four famous gardens in Guangdong. It was built in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 150 years. It is also one of the eight scenic spots in Panyu.

This Lingnan garden is not large in area and can be covered in 300 steps. The layout of the garden is clever. Through the use of corridors, flower windows, and shadow walls, it creates the effect of a garden in the garden and a scenery outside the scenery.

Walking to the top of the stone mountain, you can see all the pavilions, halls, pavilions, bridges, corridors and embankments, and strange rocks in the lotus pond. Scenic spots such as Shenliu Hall, Lanhe Hall, Linchi Side Hall, Peacock Pavilion and Covered Bridge are worth visiting. Shenliu Hall is the main building. It contains poems by the three great talents in the late Qing Dynasty, calligraphy by Liu Yong, a grand scholar of Qianlong, as well as couplets written by Chen Yungong, a famous scholar of the Qing Dynasty.

Yu Yinshanfang is a representative of Lingnan Gardens. Walking here is like returning to ancient times through time. From time to time, young ladies wearing Hanfu walk by, looking for the best viewing point. Next time, I will also want to wear Hanfu to take photos.

When I came out of Yu Yinshan's room, my baby said that he was hungry and needed milk, so I quickly took warm water to make milk for him to drink. In the past, a luggage bag was always placed in the car. Now the new car has more than 20 storage spaces. There are storage boxes in the front seat, center armrest and door, so you can get baby clothes, milk powder washi diapers at any time.

Whampoa Military Academy

On the way to Whampoa Military Academy, we opened the oversized panoramic skylight, so that we could look up at the stars at night and have a broad view during the day. The sun shone on the car, and the blue sky and white clouds were within reach, making people feel happy and bright.

In the past, the car navigation of old cars would not be automatically updated. Every time the navigation was done, I used my mobile phone, and every time I charged, I was busy. Buick Encore's car navigation is updated in real time. The screen is facing the driver, making it convenient to view the map at any time. All buttons on the center console are within reach, making it very user-friendly.

We came to the Whampoa Military Academy on Changzhou Island, Huangpu District to recall the glorious days when Huangpu soldiers took classes and trained.

The Whampoa Military Academy was originally the building of the Army Primary School and the Naval School of the Qing Dynasty. Later, Sun Yat-sen founded a school to train military cadres, namely the "China-Republic of China Army Officers School". The Whampoa Military Academy has many branch schools, and Changzhou Island in Guangzhou is the school headquarters.

Whampoa Military Academy is divided into infantry, artillery, engineering, baggage, military police, politics and other subjects, and trains many outstanding generals. Zhou Enlai and other celebrities have taught here. The school building is a Lingnan ancestral hall style courtyard. If you want to experience the study life of soldiers, you can participate in it. Summer camp activities here.

There are hawkers selling various handicrafts at the entrance of the Whampoa Military Academy, especially aluminum wire handicrafts, which are exquisite and beautiful, including dragons, peacocks and robots. Mung bean popsicles are delicious, so we bought one for 3 yuan and ate it while walking.

The Whampoa Military Academy is closed on Mondays. It is an important military area. Warships docking at the port cannot take photos or take aerial photos, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Huangpu ancient port

I thought that Huangpu Ancient Port was also in Huangpu District, but it turned out that it was Shiji Village, Haizhu District. I wanted to change my way home, but as a result, we all wanted to eat ginger milk, so we decided to go to Huangpu Ancient Port to play.

The baby fell asleep on the road. If it was a long journey, I would put down the second row of seats and directly turn them into a cot to let him sleep in peace of mind. It was only more than 40 minutes 'drive from Whampoa Military Academy, so he simply let him sleep directly in the seat. He only needed to turn down the air conditioner and add the negative ion air purification system in the car. The baby slept soundly and even snore.

I was worried that cars would be noisy when coming and going, but the Buick Encore S made it the ultimate in silence. The doors are made of sound-absorbing materials and three seals, and the tailgate door also has additional seals. Even on the highway, there will be no noise inside the car.

Huangpu Ancient Port is under construction during this period. The intersection is dusty and the road is full of potholes. It will only be better if you walk into the alley.

Huangpu Ancient Port has witnessed the prosperity of the "Maritime Silk Road" and is an important historical and cultural relic in Guangzhou. It retains historical relics such as ancient ports, ancient ancestral shrines, ancient temples, ancient houses and former residences of celebrities.

When you enter the Huangpu Ancient Port, you must first visit the First Pass Memorial Hall of the Guangdong Sea. The Huangpu Ancient Port Historical Exhibition Hall and the Ancient Port Heritage Archway are also worth a visit!

When we arrived at the Gugang Ferry, the baby had just woken up and sat on the dock with his father watching the sunset. The prosperity of Gugang Ferry can only be imagined. During the Qing Dynasty, it docked many foreign merchant ships and was the only port for foreign trade.

Next to the Gugang Ferry is the antique ship Gothenburg. The Gothenburg was built by the Swedish East India Company in 1738 and arrived in Guangzhou three times to sail the Maritime Silk Road.

Of course, you need to eat when you come to Huangpu Ancient Port. Gugang dairy lady ginger milk and Maoji boat porridge are must-eat delicacies. Chicken cakes are delicious freshly made every day. If you are afraid of getting greasy, you can buy the more expensive ones.

When we went back, we were still buying vegetables at the ancient port to go home. The melons and vegetables grown by the local elderly were very fresh, and the dinner was delicious!

When we went back, it was during the rush hour after work. It originally took more than 40 minutes to travel, but it took more than an hour to move. I am worried that I will get carsick after long traffic jams. Fortunately, the damping system of the Buick Encore S is very good. It can be adjusted in real time according to the road surface and driving conditions to improve the comfort of the car, reduce body yaw when turning or starting, and ensure driving Safe and steady.

After a one-day trip to Guangzhou, we passed the running-in period of the Buick Encore S. We plan to visit Zengcheng, Guangzhou next stop. If we have enough time, we also plan to visit around Guangzhou, such as Shenzhen, Zhaoqing and Huizhou.
