preface

Guangzhou is a place that combines modernity and nostalgia, retro and trendy, with many local delicacies and also accommodates nationally famous dishes. Doesn't it sound contradictory? In fact, there is no sense of discord, which shows that it is a very inclusive city. So how to eat when traveling in Guangzhou? How to drink? How to play? How to live? Next, please listen to me share this wonderful trip one by one!

The journey is about to begin

During summer vacations, the hotel's location and health and safety are the top considerations during the trip. I made a lot of strategies before coming, and finally chose to live in the area of Zhujiang New City, because it is equivalent to the center of Guangzhou, and subways extend in all directions wherever you go.

The hotel booked the Home Inns Business Travel Hotel owned by First Travel Home Inns-Guangzhou Avenue Wuyangcun Subway Station Branch of Zhujiang New City. I have stayed there many times in the past, and I feel very good every time I stay. So I booked it habitually during my trip to Guangzhou. The hotel is 600 meters away from Wuyangcun Subway Station in Zhujiang New City. It is about 10 minutes 'walk, which is very convenient.

After arriving at the lobby, the staff quickly checked in and was very efficient!

The room type I booked was a double bed room. It was a very generous and elegant design, and I felt particularly warm as soon as I came in. As soon as my luggage was put down and I lay down on the bed, I had the urge not to go out ~

What I am most satisfied with is that there is also a big bathtub. Every time I travel, I have to go wild, so I just want to take a comfortable hot bath when I return to the hotel at night, so that I can have the strength to continue going wild the next day. This time, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel had launched the "Rest assured Hotel" service. From the front desk, public area, lobby to the room, you can see the hotel's disinfection records and some epidemic prevention supplies provided to guests for free. He also said it was very considerate!

After taking a little rest at the hotel, we are ready to start our journey. This trip also refers to the strategy of "The First Travel Tour Take You on a Trip". Free summer, go travel now~

Guangzhou tower

The two subway stations from the hotel to Guangzhou Tacai naturally became the first attraction we checked in.

As a landmark attraction in Guangzhou, it is also known as Xiao Man Waist. The way to play can be divided into a distance view, a close view, or going up to the top of the tower to overlook the entire city of Guangzhou. The view is very broad. You can also play roller coasters on the tower or Ferris Wheel, suitable for friends who like excitement.

If you look from a distance, you can see the sea center sand across the Guangzhou Tower. The scenery here is very beautiful and it is often filled with flowers. It is really a flower city worthy of its name! In summer, the flowers planted here are replaced by sunflowers. Looking from a distance, a large sea of flowers and Guangzhou Tower complement each other, just as beautiful as oil paintings.

Looking at the Guangzhou Tower from this perspective, does it have a more literary and artistic feeling?

The other two buildings that form a triangle with the Guangzhou Tower are the West Tower and East Tower of Huacheng Square. They stand on a three-legged basis and are the tallest landmark buildings in Guangzhou.

This area is the most modern place in Guangzhou.

Yongqing square

If the Guangzhou Tower represents the new era of Guangzhou, then Yongqingfang retains the historical memory of Guangzhou.

Yongqingfang is located on Enning Road in Laocheng District of Guangzhou. It was once the most prosperous place in Xiguan. There are arcade buildings on both sides of the road, which is very distinctive. However, after years of corrosion, the place became dilapidated. Fortunately, after later renovation, these traditional elements were preserved.

After the renovation, the originally old Xiguan Dawu was transformed into cafes, some into cultural and creative shops, and some into intangible cultural heritage experience halls. The nostalgia and retro also reveal new fashion, the two are very harmonious and complement each other

When walking in the alleys of Yongqingfang, it is like traveling through time. Those buildings full of Lingnan flavor, green brick houses, marble paths, colored glazed windows, and Xiguan gate all exude a strong Xiguan style.

It also provides young people with scenes to understand and inherit traditional culture. They can watch the essence of Cantonese opera, go shopping and listen to music, watch avant-garde dramas, enjoy the buildings of the Republic of China, or go to Bruce Lee's ancestral home to experience the charm of Chinese kung fu.

Just walk around like this, experience the customs of old Guangzhou, and maybe you can meet a certain "Miss Xiguan" in a certain Xiguan house ~

shamian Island

Yongqingfang is the alternation of the new and the old, while Shamian Island is the collision of foreign culture and local culture! After a century of precipitation, a unique landscape in Guangzhou has been formed.

There are eight streets and alleys, large and small, on the island. Although the area is only 0.3 square kilometers, the environment is beautiful, green trees are green, and buildings full of European style are scattered throughout the island.

On the sand surface, you will find that all the buildings, after being baptized by time, have an indescribable taste of vicissitudes. Visiting it, I saw history and heard the past.

There are more than 150 buildings here, including 42 outstanding neo-Baroque, imitation Gothic, corridor, neoclassical and combination of Chinese and Western styles.

Speaking of these buildings, one of the architects I have to mention is Panet. Many buildings here were created by him and his friend Bojie.

The best way to travel about Shamian is to stroll around at will and let yourself get lost in these distinctive ancient buildings. You can always encounter different visual surprises at the corner. For girls, they must take photos well ~ Put on a beautiful dress and leave the most beautiful figure.

Find out about Guangzhou

Playing is only part of the trip to Guangzhou, and the other part is eating! There is a saying that "food is eaten in Guangzhou", so many people's first impression of Guangzhou is delicious food. As a representative of Cantonese cuisine, Guangfu cuisine has a long history and is extensive and profound. When you come to Guangzhou, what wakes you up every day will not be an alarm clock or a dream, but a dazzling morning tea!

Drinking morning tea is an indispensable part of life in Guangzhou. This is the right way to start a morning. Of course, drinking tea is not just drinking tea. In addition to a cup of tea, there are also shrimp dumplings, steamed pork ribs, egg tarts, roasted pork buns, quicksand buns, walnut buns, milk yellow buns, chicken feet, glutinous rice chicken, boat porridge, pig miscellaneous porridge, spring rolls, horseshoe cake, red bean cake, chestnut paste swan crisp, Xiangmanang coconut juice cake, fried radish cake with XO sauce, thousand layer cake, salty dumplings, money belly, pork sauce Chencun noodles, all kinds of rice noodles...

What is listed is just the tip of the iceberg. On the menu of the teahouse, there are so many varieties that you can choose difficulties in minutes. When you really don't know what to order, then blind spots are okay ~ For me, the must-order shrimp dumplings ~

The essence of shrimp dumplings is that the skin is thin and clear, and the filling inside can be vaguely seen. After biting it in one bite, it will be fresh and full shrimp meat. It is refreshing and will never get tired of eating it. It can also be paired with red vinegar, which is compatible with the shrimp and Jiao itself. The taste is also very consistent.

The second must-order dish is steamed chicken feet. The secret sauce soaks the chicken feet until they are very delicious and melts immediately in the mouth. There is no need to bother to shave the bones. After eating the chicken feet, promise me. Don't miss the peanuts and the taro on the bottom. It's also super delicious.

Then there is steamed pork ribs. Each rib is very smooth and tender. Some teahouses even add a little tangerine peel to enhance the flavor. You really can't miss it!

Quicksand buns, milk yellow buns, and barbecued pork buns are also on the must-order menu. However, the overall flavor of barbecued pork buns will be more popular. When eating, you can directly break the steamed buns in half and eat them with the barbecued pork stuffing inside. It is extremely delicious.

Naturally, the rice noodles cannot be left behind. Beef sausage, pork liver sausage, egg sausage, lean meat sausage, mandarin duck sausage, etc. There are many choices, so you can choose according to your preferences. Finally, there was another hot boat porridge, and everything was perfect!

During the itinerary in Guangzhou, it is nothing more than drinking morning tea and thinking about what to eat at noon, thinking about what to eat at night after lunch, and then midnight snack... tomorrow morning... endless circulation.

On the delicious food list, Guangzhou-style roast goose is also on the list. When you pick up a piece of roast goose, the crispy and juicy goose skin is bright and attractive. When you eat it in your mouth, the crispy skin and the meat will exude fragrance in your mouth. The crispy skin, the mellow meat and the full juice, this taste can only be described as "perfect".

Then there is barbecued pork, honey barbecued pork, crispy barbecued pork, black barbecued pork, etc. There are different varieties. The same thing is the same taste. The meat of barbecued pork is delicious and tender. It tastes a little sweet but sweet but not greasy. It is a favorite dish among Guangzhou people.

Laohuo soup is also synonymous with Guangzhou cuisine. Cordyceps black-chicken soup tea, tree mushroom pork ribs, Polygonatum odoratum adenophora pigeon, Sydney Sichuan fritillary pork lung soup, Pseudostellaria pseudostellariae fig lean meat soup, lotus root ribs, winter melon and seaweed pork ribs soup, five-finger peach bone soup, coconut chicken soup, there is always one thing that can satisfy your taste buds!

Changlong Parent Paradise

After visiting iconic attractions and eating must-check food, if you want to take a parent-child travel route during the summer vacation, I highly recommend the Chimelong Paradise Series.

Whether it's a thrilling world of joy, a cool summer water park, or a wild animal world where you can have intimate contact with animals, an eye-catching circus, or an amazing bird park, there is always a place you want to PICK.

The most suitable places for parent-child play are water parks, wildlife parks, and circuses.

changlong water park

The water park opens from May to November every year, so it is very suitable for parent-child tours during the summer vacation.

The scenic spot is divided into 5 major areas: the giant wheel center area, the heat wave valley area, the wonderful parent-child water Urban area, the family fun beach area, and the big speaker area. There are as many as 39 projects you can play.

Recommended tour routes: Giant Bowl Beast-Giant Python-Wonderful Parent-Child Water City-Rock Giant Ship-Drifting River-Cobra Slide-Centrifugal Slide-Wave Pool-Nanhai Beach-Super Big Horn-Rapid Slide-Big Skateboard-Family Fun Slide-Water Bar-Water Electric Syllables. You can have a pleasant day in the garden!

Rock Wheel is the world's first upright rotating slide. Just looking at the appearance alone, you are shocked by the slide that surrounds seven and eight like the "large intestine". The slide is composed of three colors: green, purple and orange.

Moreover, there is also a dreamy lighting design in the slide, which passes through the entrance and then turns a few times into the slide and finally falls into the colorful swimming pool.

The latest water experience has naturally attracted many people to queue up to experience it ~ We are no exception!

The Cobra Slide is suitable for parent-child play. It has rainbow-like colors and makes you happy to watch it. Children can follow their parents to sit on the floating circle and slide into the mouth of the cobra from the platform, and then slide from a high point to the tail of the cobra by virtue of gravity. It will not be too exciting, but you can also experience the fun of the water.

The python slide combines twist, spiral and vibration. It is also a super fun event. It feels more interesting to have several good friends playing together. It's not as good as having fun alone ~

Wonderful parent-child water city with many cute cartoon animals. This is a gathering place for children and parents.

Spend a wonderful parent-child time in the playroom

The park also carefully prepared life jackets for children, which ensures safety ~

The lockers in the dressing and shower area are all pink, giving off the heart of a girl.

Small TIPS at Chimelong Water Park:

1. The park provides an "e-wallet" stored-value wristband consumption service, so you need to bring cash and change to consume it in the park. It is a waterproof password wristband and personal password protection. There is no need to deposit the recharge. The amount ranges from 100 yuan to 500 yuan. The balance can be fully refunded at the stored-value counter. It is very easy, convenient and safe ~ I feel this service is very considerate.

2. When playing in the water, you must bring your own swimsuits, swimming trunks, and toiletries. Of course, there are also shops in the park that sell swimsuits, water supplies, etc.

3. There are various restaurants in the park, so it is okay to have a day of play. Each person for dinner is about 70 yuan.

4. Food and pets are not allowed to enter the park

changlong Wildlife World

If playing in the water is not enough fun, then come to Chimelong Wildlife World! When I watched Dad go for the big movie, I was deeply planted with grass. I cleaned up elephant droppings, helped hippos brush my teeth, and went to the python nest to find ingredients ~ every scene is still fresh in my memory. So we are all excited to come here.

The Animal World is divided into two parts: a car tour area and a walking tour. There are three ways to tour. One is to ride or drive by car, the other is to tour the pedestrian area on foot, and the third is to tour the air by cable car.

We chose to travel by car. We will pass through five major regions: Australian forests, American jungles, Central Asian deserts, South Asian rainforests, and European mountains.

So here, you can experience different customs from five continents and see exotic animals around the world without going abroad.

At the American Jungle Station, you can watch American ostriches, black-necked swans, red ibis and other animals.

Entering the Asian forest will enter an Asian elephant kingdom. Here you can experience the unique rainforest environment and watch the first-class wild animal Asian elephants.

When you come to the wild areas, there are many ferocious animals, such as tigers, bears, yellow wolves, etc. They are all relatively fierce animals. Although there are no fences around them, there is no need to worry at all, because the park has put a lot of thought into the design of the viewing location. There is a ditch between animals and people, and beasts cannot jump over., tourists will not reduce the experience because they are too far away when watching.

The king of the forest, the big tiger, stretched out his tongue and looked at us, with an inexplicable feeling of cuteness.

There are only more than 300 white tigers in the world, but white tigers account for 1/2 of the total in the Chimelong Wildlife World, making it the world's largest white tiger breeding base.

When you come to the grassland area of South Africa, you can see the figures of white rhinos, hippos, and gersaurs.

I just caught a little hippo walking ashore with my mother. It was so cute and had a big contrast with the shape of the big hippo. It looked at us in confusion, probably thinking, why is a car full of people looking at me? Hahaha, it's really cute.

Visit the Chimelong Wildlife World:

1. The South and North Gate Tourist Service Stations of Chimelong Wildlife World have luggage storage services. Large luggage is 30 yuan/piece/day, and small luggage is 20 yuan/piece/day.

2. The Chimelong Wildlife World is divided into two areas, a pedestrian area and a self-driving area. The pedestrian area: mainly for viewing animals and animal performances on foot. The self-driving area: you can take a semi-open train to watch animals. If you need to drive your own car to tour the self-driving area, you will need to charge a self-driving fee. The self-driving ticket is purchased on-site at the self-driving entrance of the North Gate of Chimelong Wildlife World.

3. Food and beverages cannot be brought into the park. There are different themed restaurants and food takeout points in the park.

Guangzhou Changlong International Circus

Finally, the Chimelong International Circus is also very recommended. Chimelong International Circus is a real-life circus stage with more than 300 circus elites from more than 20 countries across Asia, Europe, America and Africa performing on the same stage.

The whole process consists of 17 programs: Magic Open, Legend of Light and Shadow, Vertical Space, Magic Messenger, Circus Hollywood, Dragon and Tiger Leaping, Fireworks Allure, Global Flying Car, Joker Shooting, Wonderland in the Magic Fire Wheel, Temple prestige, Habi Landing, Fate Sky, Travel through Time and Space, Shooting Flying Man, and Continuation of Mystery.

Vertical and horizontal space: In the vertical and horizontal space, changing light and shadow are interspersed, and the dancing and flashing strange light spreads magic colors to every corner.

Magic messenger: Deep in the secluded jungle, speed and passion collide. After the illusion of magic light, the surroundings became boiling, and the magic messenger moved forward with wings to welcome the Queen's arrival.

The envoys rode horses and performed superb and dangerous equestrian on the horses, which attracted cheers from the audience.

Fate Sky: It is a sister from Cuba who spends flowers in the sky, landing slowly with beautiful dances and difficult movements. The picture is very beautiful ~

Circus Hollywood: The mischievous clowns started to celebrate around the "treasure chest". The joyful atmosphere filled every corner of the scene. The hippo also came to the stage to show off its figure.

Animals from the African grassland also appeared on the stage

Clowns surrounded this treasure chest, and a wonderful show was being staged.

Global Speed: It is also a performance that makes the audience scream. The performer rides a motorcycle and crosses in a floating ball. The picture above shows one of the female performers. As soon as he appeared, he attracted cheers from the audience ~

Clown Shooting: It is a session to interact with the audience. The clowns 'witty movements caused the audience to burst into laughter and the atmosphere was great

He also asked a female audience to come forward and shoot, but repeatedly failed to hit the ball. After the clowns approached step by step and even put the ball in front of the female audience, he finally managed to hit it. The witty movements of the clowns are so fun ~

Wonderland in the Magic Land: Beautiful fairies fall from the sky singing songs, and ballet dancers dance brilliantly and beautifully in the night sky. A huge water curtain falls, forming a dreamlike wonderland. The colorful scene attracts the foraging giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and camels in the forest came to help out.

The Magic Wheel of Fire should be one of the most thrilling programs in the audience. The magic wheel keeps turning, and the Warriors perform rope skipping at high altitude. When you feel that it is the extreme of thrilling, an even more thrilling scene appears, which suspends the hearts of the audience. It's up.

Temple prestige: It seems to have returned to the scene of medieval Europe. Amid the melodious piccolo, the knight appeared with a dignified lady.

The flamingos followed closely, and they followed closely the carriage. It was a very magical picture.

Knights riding white horses, isn't this the best interpretation of Prince Charming?

The last program was to resume the past. All the actors stepped onto the stage and made a curtain call while singing and dancing. An unparalleled visual feast ended. The various moments during this period were very unforgettable.

Watch small TIPS at Chimelong International Circus:

1. How to choose a seat? What is a good location? Of course, VIP seats are the best, but which are better for ordinary seats that are not VIP seats?

A. Sit near the middle VIP area. Since there is no way to sit in the VIP seat, you have to sit in the VIP seat, the more in the middle, the better. Because during stage performances, the actors face the VIP area, which is the central seating area of the theater.

B. Sitting higher is preferred than sitting higher. The effect of sitting sideways is only average, and when watching the program, you can't see it comprehensively, only your back can be seen. If you sit high and in the middle, although it is far away from the stage, you can watch the performance more comprehensively, and you don't have to hold your head high when there is a high-altitude performance.

C. Keep the elderly and children away from the stage. The elderly and children may be scared by special effects such as fireworks, so it is good for them to stay away from the stage. Children in their arms should be farther away from the stage. Parents and mothers are often seen walking out of the audience area with their children in their arms, because not every child can accept the strong lighting and sound effects. If they sit too close to the stage, only the parents will have the trouble.

2. When watching, I believe many people want to record it because there are many wonderful moments, but don't use flash when recording and taking photos, because it may flash to the actors. Many movements are very dangerous, so avoid accidentally affecting the actors and causing accidents.
