Flowers bloom in Guangzhou in spring. Spring in Guangzhou is very short, so I cherish it even more. Then I took the lead and started appreciating flowers in the flower city of Guangzhou, starting my spring trip to Guangzhou. Guangzhou is one of the first batch of national historical and cultural cities, the birthplace of Guangfu culture, and an important port city in my country's foreign trade. Naturally, it has profound historical and cultural heritage. Today, Guangzhou is the central city of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the hub city of the Belt and Road Initiative., not only profound but also vibrant.
Here is the super detailed guide ~ About the itinerary: D1 Shanghai to Guangzhou, stayed at my best friend's house, and in the afternoon checked in to check in the night view of Yongqingfang, Shamian, Shishi Sacred Heart Cathedral and Dafo Temple. D2 participated in the annual ceremony of Guangzhou Tourism Super Destinations and visited Haizhu Lake National Wetland Park with her best friends in the afternoon.
About board and accommodation: It's so happy to have a best friend in Guangzhou, so this time the board and accommodation are all arranged by my best friend. It's convenient to live in her home and go anywhere. Moreover, she can take me to check in many delicious food with Guangzhou characteristics. Food.
The food we checked in this time is basically all the characteristics of the Greater Bay Area. In addition to the Tao Tao Ju located in Guojin, which everyone is familiar with, there is also a tea restaurant located in Yongqingfang (the name has been forgotten) and Chang Lai Xiao Ju located in Liede. Although they are all Guangzhou specialty tea restaurants, each restaurant has its own characteristics. Chang Lai Xiao Ju is highly recommended. I am amazing at the first bite.
With the itinerary and accommodation arrangements, I can go and visit Guangzhou with confidence. To be honest, I have been to Guangzhou many times, but this is the first time I have checked in to Guangzhou's scenic spots and historic sites. I still look forward to it ~
Yongqingfang-the most beautiful Qilou Street, let's give you a general introduction of the Qilou. The Qilou is a type of building. In modern times, the ground floor of the building recedes along the street and leaves public pedestrian space. In my country, such buildings are mostly found in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Hainan. We can often see such buildings in Hong Kong dramas or Republic of China TV dramas.
There is a place in Guangzhou called Yongqingfang. It is located on Enning Road in Liwan District, Guangzhou City. It connects Shangxiajiu Landmark Commercial Street in the east and Shamian in the south. The buildings distributed throughout the block are basically arcade buildings, so it is also known as the most beautiful arcade Street. It is the former site of Xiguan with great urban cultural heritage in Guangzhou.
Yongqingfang is located in the street of Enning Road. After local development and construction, it has gathered a series of specialty shops, coffee shops, tea restaurants, handicraft shops, etc. These shops are distributed in the retro streets of Yongqingfang. In addition to the decoration features of retro and modern integration, the atmosphere is very rich, so it has become a place where young people and trendy people in Guangzhou like to check in.
I have been watching Hong Kong opera since I was a child, and I have a special liking for arcade buildings, so I must come here to visit. In addition to eating and drinking, Yongqingfang also retains a large number of old buildings. These buildings are the foundation of Guangfu culture and are distributed in different places in the Yongqingfang area. You can see them by walking. For example, the ancestral home of Bruce Lee, which we accidentally discovered, and the place where Bruce Lee's father and a famous Cantonese opera actress Li Haiquan lived. The Xiguan Grand House building was restored and detailed in detail Bruce Lee's life and performing arts history. There is also the Bahe Guild Hall, the Cantonese Opera Federation at home and abroad, which has made Enning Road known as the "Cantonese Opera Street". Nearly 190 famous actresses have chosen to live in the surrounding area. As a result, the Cantonese opera industry calls itself the "Bahe Children".
Now that we have arrived at the Cantonese Opera Street, it is entirely necessary to go to the Cantonese Opera Art Museum to learn about it. It was established to protect and inherit the Cantonese opera art, the only world intangible cultural heritage in Guangdong Province. It is also located in an old building on Enning Road, with gardens, exhibition halls, stages, and theaters. Whether it is the building itself or cultural activities, every link is very meaningful, just like these tourists who come here to stop by the lake to listen to Cantonese opera. This is also the meaning of inheritance.
Don't think that sand noodles are a bowl of noodles! Shamian was once called Shicui Island, because it was a sandbank formed by alluvial deposits of the Pearl River, so it was named Shamian. It was also a popular spot for Internet celebrities in Guangzhou. Shamian has a profound historical heritage. There are eight streets and alleys here. During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was a key trade and tourist destination at home and abroad in China, and later became the British and French Concessions.
Shamian is an important commercial port in Guangzhou. Over the past century, more than ten countries have set up consulates here, including nine foreign banks, more than 40 foreign banks, Guangdong Customs Clubs, Guangzhou Clubs, etc. Shamian has witnessed the changes in Guangzhou's modern history and left behind the footsteps of pioneers and great men, which is of great significance. Arriving at the main street of Shamian, small foreign-style buildings stand on both sides. It is not difficult to see that these buildings with European style have become a microcosm of our country's modern history and the history of the concession. It is not an exaggeration to say that Shamian is an open-air architectural museum.
When I came to Shamian for the first time, I was full of curiosity about this place. People from all walks of life gathered in Shamian to freeze themselves and the most beautiful side of Shamian in the camera. I couldn't escape the customs and take pictures crazily.
The night view of Shishi Sacred Heart Cathedral and Dafo Temple was too long in Yongle Square and Shamian, so it was already past 5 o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Shishi Sacred Heart Cathedral. The church was closed, so we had to worship outside. This cathedral is one of the most magnificent twin-spire Gothic buildings in our country. It is also one of the four all-stone Gothic church buildings in the world. The walls and columns are made of granite stone, so it is also called It is called The Sacred Heart of the Stone Chamber, which is quite artistic.
Going to Beijing Road at night, Dafo Temple is also a place where trendy people like to check in, because this magnificent building can be said to be a real-life version of the Thousand and the Thousand and the Thousand, especially at night, the entire building is brightly lit. It is a very ancient building. When the lights are on, it seems to make people enter a dream. The scene of the Thousand and the Thousand are really beautiful.
Before going to Haizhu Lake National Wetland Park, Haizhu Lake National Wetland Park participated in the Guangzhou Tourism Super Destination Annual Ceremony due to work. After all, cultural tourism has begun to recover, and Guangzhou, as a first-tier metropolis, is also ready. A series of online and offline content and travel products were released at the event. The micro-variety show "When Traveling meets Guangzhou" also premiered at the event."Travel + Humanities" became the theme, mainly to explore the humanistic characteristics of tourist destinations and showcase the humanistic stories and feelings behind the trip. At the same time, we launched the top ten spring flower viewing spots and flower viewing routes in Guangzhou in 2023. Telling the city story of the flower city of Guangzhou in the name of "flowers" has given us a lot of strategies and dry goods. When we have the opportunity to come to Guangzhou again, we should check in more times.
Haizhu Lake National Wetland Park is the largest national wetland park in the central area of a megacity across the country. It is truly the "green heart" of Guangzhou. I have to say that when I came here, I saw bauhinia that we rarely see when we went hiking and enjoying flowers in other provinces and cities., I am still very excited. This wetland park is located in the center of the city, but it is really large. I personally feel that if I want to walk down every point, plus the time for taking photos and entertainment, I need at least half a day.
Walking into the park, you will find water networks intertwined and green trees dancing. It is precisely because of its unique characteristics of delta city lakes and river wetlands, which combines the beautiful scenery of the bustling city and natural ecology. Therefore, it is also a good place for local people in Guangzhou to relax on weekends.
Haizhu Lake National Wetland Park has the fragrance of fruits and the flying fish leaping, accumulating the essence of thousand-year-old fruit-based agricultural culture. However, for tourists like me, since it is spring and we are here to go for a outing and enjoy flowers, our focus is still to dance with flowers. Dance. Many people like cherry blossoms and find them beautiful and romantic, but in my heart, Bauhinia is more romantic and beautiful than cherry blossoms. This time I saw so many purple golden flowers on the shores of Haizhu Lake, which really surprised me.
If there is a place where you can find the feeling of walking under flower trees in your dreams, then it must be the Gongfen Bauhinia Road in Haizhu Wetland. Although we can see bauhinia flowers everywhere in Guangzhou, the bauhinia flowers in Haizhu Lake Wetland Park are the largest and most concentrated. Walking on the 3.2-kilometer flower path, bauhinia trees are blooming. Look at the bauhinia flowers drooping on the branches, some are wearing pink clothes, some are wearing white clothes, and some are wearing purple-red clothes. They are beautiful and beautiful. The five blooming petals are dancing gently in the sun with the breeze, and I want to hold them in the palm of my hand.
We were walking under the flower trees, and our cheerful footsteps brought us a happy mood. Although it was not yet the end of April, the bauhinia flowers were in full bloom, and their beauty was definitely not inferior to the pink cherry blossoms. The spring was full of Haizhu Lake, the wind moved bauhinia fragrance!
