Dream bauhinia blossoms in Guangzhou Haizhu Wetland Park

The first stop in Guangzhou this time was to visit bauhinia flowers in Guangzhou Haizhu Wetland Park. Recently, it can be said to be one of the most popular flower viewing spots in Guangzhou. At this time, bauhinia flowers in Guangzhou Haizhu National Wetland Park were scrambling to bloom from the branches. The romantic sea of pink and white flowers spread for three kilometers, and the end was far from visible. Walking on the path full of pink bauhinia flowers on both sides, it seems to have entered a dreamy flower scene, and the real scene is even more beautiful than the photos.

The entire flower path is dominated by pink bauhinia flowers, and of course there are also white bauhinia flowers. Both are very beautiful. This sea of flowers constitutes a pink and dreamy world. This is the best time for the bauhinia to bloom and admire flowers. Take your friends on the weekend and go on a spring date. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year.

Bauhinia flowers are mainly distributed on Guanlan Bridge. It is recommended to go straight to Guanlan Bridge after entering the park. The scenery there is the most beautiful. Walking up the bridge on both sides of the Shiliugang River, the 3.2-kilometer bauhinia belt is very spectacular, and both sides of the river instantly become pink flowers.

There are many tourists recently. It is recommended that if you can go early in the morning, the scenery will be more beautiful. If you really don't have time in the morning, then it is recommended that there will be fewer people going in the evening. Find a day with a sunset. There are also fewer tourists after 17:00 p.m., so it is also good to get some beautiful sunset scenery.

Walking into Shamian Island in Guangzhou is like walking into a romantic European town

I recommend a must-check place for traveling to Guangzhou-Shamian Island. Shamian Island, known as Guangzhou's "Little Europe", is full of beautiful and distinctive European buildings. There are many ancient trees here, and there are more than 150 European ancient buildings on both sides of the Garden Avenue. When the afternoon sun shines on the trees and then reaches the ground, that was the most beautiful time. Walking on the street, you can see the Baroque and neo-classical styles of European architecture of that time, making people feel like they are in Europe.

Although it is only separated by a small river, it is completely different from the traffic outside. It is like a paradise that is peaceful from the world, and I like this tranquility. The whole island is not big. If you are tired from walking, order a cup of coffee and sit on a small stool in the yard to enjoy the afternoon sun. You can sit here all afternoon. Find a good day to visit Shamian and spend a good time in romantic leisure.

Recommended photo check-in points:
1: Catholic Church: Built in 1890, it is in a Gothic architectural style. The overall color is light yellow and there is colorful glass at the door.
2: Christian Church: It was built in 1864. Since Shamian Christian Church is a rare and intact century-old Christian building in Guangzhou, many newlyweds take wedding photos here.
3: People's Bridge: A European-style bridge beyond the film, with a great atmosphere for taking photos.
4: HSBC's former site: It has a very retro feel. It is a relatively large building in the sand complex. Many people take wedding photos here
5: Central Garden: There are many sculptures, full of exotic customs.
6: Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum: Baroque style building dating from 1890, yellow corridor with a sense of depth, yellow walls and green doors are very beautiful.
7: Internet celebrity shop: Shamian Starbucks, also known as the most beautiful Starbucks, can be seen at a glance with its unique colors.
8: McDonald's: There is a huge yellow M-shaped at the door, which is very nice to pose.

Surrounding recommendations:
There are also Xicheng Duhui Shopping Mall, Huangsha Seafood Market, etc.
There is a car in Shamian that takes you directly to nearby Yongqingfang for a stroll together

Yongqingfang: Visit the most prosperous days and nights in Xiguan

Guangzhou Yongqingfang is located in the alley of Enning Road. There are many specialty shops where you can check in. The combination of modern and traditional elements in the decoration is very retro and charming, with a strong artistic atmosphere. There are also various coffee shops, restaurants, handicraft shops, Cantonese opera houses, markets, etc., which are one of the must-check places when visiting Guangzhou. You can gain a lot by sweeping the streets with a camera. It's really worth checking in. The key is that you don't need tickets, and it's even more beautiful when the lights are on at night.

I really recommend check-in places for surrounding tours. It is suitable for all ages. You can really stroll around slowly for a day. You can have everything to eat, drink and play. Come here to experience Xiguan culture firsthand. There are also cruise ships passing by in the river from time to time, especially at night when the lights are on, which has the charm of Jiangnan gardens. It feels like a person walking in a painting.

There are many things to do and see in Yongqingfang. Nowadays, there are many small shops selling all kinds of art, small commodities, and many gourmet shops. When you are tired of shopping, find a coffee shop to sit down and drink. Have a cup of coffee, rest your feet and relax. I feel that Yongqingfang seems to have really taken over from Shangxiajiu and become the most popular cultural district in Xiguan. There are not only handicraft markets, delicious food, gardens and cruise ships, but also many more landscapes and angles worth taking photos and checking in. Compared with traditional pedestrian streets, Yongqingfang's tourism experience is naturally richer, so it is no wonder that more and more foreigners specially stay in Yongqingfang to experience Xiguan culture. If you travel to Guangzhou, you need to arrange check-in for this attraction.

Check in the Guangzhou landmark-Guangzhou Tower, and stroll through the Pearl River to see the bright night view

If every city has its own landmark building, then the Guangzhou Tower is Guangzhou's landmark building. The Guangzhou Tower is also called Xiaomanyao. Of course, you can't miss the chance to check out the Guangzhou Tower when you come to Guangzhou. This time I walked over from the Liede Bridge in the evening and reached the Guangzhou Tower opposite. In the evening, the sun slowly sets in the west. Standing on the Liede Bridge, you can see the sunset and have a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the Pearl River.

In the evening, the sky slowly darkened, and the lights of the high-rise buildings on both sides of the Pearl River turned on. Walking in the direction of the Guangzhou Tower, strolling along the banks of the Pearl River, admiring the most beautiful night view of Guangzhou, getting closer to the Guangzhou Tower, and approaching the Guangzhou Tower. Wait a while. The lights on the tower finally lit up. The colorful lights made the Guangzhou Tower as beautiful as wearing a new dress.

If you travel to Guangzhou, it is recommended to visit the Guangzhou Tower in the evening. After all, it is a landmark of the city. At night, Zhuhai can also take cruise ships to enjoy the night view on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. If you have time, you can really go. Take a cruise ship and feel the bright night view on both sides of the Pearl River.

Flowers bloom in Guangzhou to the sun

Flowers bloom in Guangzhou and bloom in the sun. It is not just Guangzhou, where flowers bloom in warm spring, but in 2023, Guangzhou's cultural and tourism industry is blooming in the sun. Over the past three years, an innovative cultural tourism brand belonging to Guangzhou-"Guangzhou Tourism Super Destination" has achieved fruitful results. I was fortunate enough to attend the opening ceremony of the event the next day. The scene was very lively and I felt the charm of the city of Guangzhou. At the entrance to the event, there is also on-site embroidery by the inheritor of Guangzhou embroidery, and exquisite embroidered works are also displayed next to it.

The most lively thing about the event site was the lion dance performance. A total of four lion dance performance teams performed, which suddenly filled the atmosphere of the event. Finally, the last lion dance performance team climbed to the highest point and put the couplet saying "Blooming in Guangzhou, Blooming in the Sun". March in Guangzhou, flowers bloom in the urban area, which is a good season to enjoy flowers. Guests also shared the top ten best places to enjoy flowers, such as Haizhu National Wetland Park and South China National Botanical Garden. Let's take advantage of the spring March to enjoy flowers in Guangzhou.

Can't miss Guangzhou cuisine, exquisite and delicious morning tea

Guangdong has always been famous for cooking a variety of delicacies, and Guangdong-style morning tea occupies an unshakable position. A pot of tea with a few snacks, and three or five friends sitting around a table chatting, has become a social way for Cantonese people. As the soul of morning tea, Guangzhou-style snacks are extremely exquisite and have many varieties. If you taste them all, it will take you most of a day. Guangzhou people are famous all over the world for their love and ability to eat. Guangzhou has a reputation as a paradise of delicious food. I think the most famous Guangzhou food is Guangzhou's morning tea. If you go to many places, you will find that every place has morning tea. The food is different, and Guangzhou's Cantonese morning tea can be said to be a representative.
Crystal shrimp dumplings: When it comes to Guangzhou-style breakfast, the first thing that many people think of is definitely shrimp dumplings. Shrimp dumplings are the most popular and most ordered snacks in Guangzhou-style morning tea. The skin is as thin as paper and the crystal clear outer skin, and you can vaguely see the tender and slightly red shrimp meat filling. The outer skin is elastic to eat, and the shrimp is very Q elastic, smooth and fresh.

Steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce. Steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce are also one of the snacks with the highest order rate in the restaurant. Cantonese-style chicken feet taste soft, glutinous and delicious. The bones are crisp and soft, and the bones will appear when sucked. The taste is great. It is also one of my favorite morning teas.

Dry steamed steamed dumplings: The signature of Guangzhou-style tea houses sells snacks. It is also one of the four great kings of Cantonese refreshments after crystal shrimp dumplings. The Guangzhou-style dry-steamed shaomai uses egg liquid to rub the dough as the skin. The filling does not include glutinous rice. Instead, it uses pork, winter mushrooms, and shrimp meat as the main filling. It is wrapped into a cylinder slightly thicker than the thumb and more than two centimeters higher. The thin and strong egg skin is wrapped in the semi-exposed filling. It has a beautiful color and delicious taste, a refreshing taste, tender and delicious taste. You can taste all kinds of flavors with one bite, and it is still a favorite for all the people in Guangzhou.

There are also morning teas such as barbecued pork buns, milk yellow quicksand buns, rice rolls, radish cakes, etc., as well as delicious and exquisite snacks. This spring, I met a few friends to come to Guangzhou to admire the beautiful flowers and taste the delicious Guangzhou morning tea together. Live up to the good times.

written in the end

In spring, the streets and alleys of Guangzhou are full of flowers. The dreamy pink bauhinia flowers in Haizhu Wetland Park are full of romance and heart-warming. In the middle and late of this month, basically all the flowers in each park are in full bloom. March is the romantic season for Guangzhou. During this season of land recovery, I met three to five friends, full of joy, went to Guangzhou to enjoy flowers and get in close contact with spring. Between the sea of flowers, you pass by with a flick of your sleeves, let the sun, the fragrance of flowers, and the grass hug you wantonly, breathe the fresh air, and enjoy the tranquility and nature with the quiet fragrance of flowers.
