In the first half of this year, the epidemic situation was severe, and it was not convenient to travel. In the second half of the year, the epidemic was brought under control, so we began to make travel plans. Originally, there were plans since July, but due to various reasons, we didn't go to Suzhou and Hangzhou until the National Day. After coming back, I saw that there was a weekend on duty in November, so I was a little upset and decided to go out for a walk before going on duty.

There are no extra holidays. I took half a day off on Friday afternoon and left early. I went home on Sunday afternoon. From the time when the high-speed train landed in South Guangzhou at 22 pm on the first day to leaving Guangzhou at 14 pm on the third day, I was fully calculated. I only spent 40 hours in Guangzhou City, but it doesn't matter. I have been to Guangzhou 5 times, and basically I have visited all the popular popular and niche attractions. This time I just went around, ate some Cantonese snacks, and escape the city where I live.


Day1, November 13

Take the G2928 from Anshun to Guangzhou, departing from Anshun West at 17:00 p.m. and arriving at Guangzhou South at 21:55 p.m. This train was newly opened after the Anshun Intercity Railway was opened to traffic. The starting station is Kunming South to Shenzhen North, and only stops through Anshun West and Guiyang North, which is much more convenient for people in Anshun.

When we arrived at Guangzhou South Railway Station, there were still not many people, but it was still much fewer compared to the daytime. There was no need to detour when entering the subway station. Temperature measurement was a must. We quickly arrived at the subway platform and took Line 2 to get off at Memorial Hall Station. It was about 10 minutes away from the hotel Hanting West Gate Subway Station Store. On the way, we passed Yinji Rice Noodles Store, a time-honored rice noodle shop in Guangzhou. The products were not bad and the prices were reasonable. I didn't have dinner because I wanted to go directly to Guangzhou to eat specialties. I was starving to death at this time. I ordered a beef rice noodle, a vegetarian rice noodle and a boat porridge, and packed them to the hotel to eat. Although it was a chain store, the products of each family were still different. For example, I felt that the porridge of this family was not as delicious as the one eaten on Beijing Road.

It is obvious that I have eaten a little too much for myself, but I just want to eat more flavors. After eating, I will take a break and go to bed, and wait until tomorrow's official performance begins.

Day2, November 14, Guangzhou Uprising Memorial Hall, former site of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, Chunyang Temple, Guangzhou Metro Museum, Huangpu Ancient Village, Haizhu Tram, Haixinsha, Guangzhou Tower, Beijing Road

I slept until past eight o'clock in the morning, got up, went to the restaurant for breakfast, and walked to the Guangzhou Uprising Memorial Hall. The memorial hall houses the former site of the Guangzhou Commune, the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units, and is part of the Guangdong Revolutionary History Museum. You can enter after taking your body temperature and registering your identity information at the entrance of the memorial hall. It is free to visit.

On December 11, 1927, the Guangzhou Uprising broke out. After four days of struggle, the Uprising finally failed. However, together with the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising, it became a great beginning for the Chinese Communist Party to independently lead the revolutionary war and the people's army.

At present, the Guangzhou Uprising Memorial Hall mainly has a basic display, using the "Basic Exhibition of the Guangzhou Uprising" held at the former site of the Headquarters of the Workers and Peasants 'Red Army, as well as a temporary exhibition, and the revolutionary cultural relics exhibition "Celebrating the 99th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China" held at the former site of the Guangzhou Soviet Government Office Building.

Because there are many text introductions, it takes about an hour and a half to read it carefully. After the visit, the bus goes to the former site of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. When you arrive at the door, you see the door closed and there is a maintenance sign standing inside the door. I checked that it will not open until May Day next year.


Then take a photo at the door to prove that I was here.

Continue to take buses to Chunyang Temple. Epidemic prevention requires scanning Mini programs at the door and making an appointment to visit religious sites in Guangzhou City. However, because there are very few people, you can just scan and make an appointment when you arrive at the site, and the visit is also free.

Chunyang Temple is said to be the largest Taoist temple in Guangzhou City. It was built in the Qing Dynasty and renovated in 2003. It currently has major buildings such as Cihang Hall, Wenchang Hall, Chunyang Hall, Mingche Pavilion, Chaodou Terrace, Yuanchen Hall, etc., as well as the Taoist Cultural Stele Corridor. Although it is located in the middle of the commercial area, the environment inside is still quiet. The architectural style also has a typical Lingnan style. Because I only looked at the building briefly, and it only took half an hour. If I was a believer, it might take more time.

After looking at the time, I estimate that I will take the subway to the Guangzhou Metro Museum at around 12:30. Now I have reserved the ticket on the WeChat signal.


Chunyangguan is surrounded by Guangzhou Zhongda Textile City. As soon as it comes out, all around it are selling various textile raw materials, as well as various masks necessary during the epidemic.


The Guangzhou Metro Museum is located at Wanshengwei Station on Line 8. It can be reached by reading the instructions after exiting the station. The museum mainly introduces the history of subway development in my country and the process of subway construction. In addition, it also has the experience of running the subway. It is a relatively good science popularization venue., suitable for taking children to play.


It is almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon after visiting the Metro Museum. There is Wansheng Square nearby, and there is a lot to eat. When you arrive in Guangzhou, you naturally have to eat the special pot rice. The restaurant I chose is called Xinmin Kee. The group purchase set menu of pot rice is 27 yuan, including a double cooked pot rice and a pot soup. The portions are full. The pot of pot rice must be cold and then gently pressed down with a spoon.

Take a bus to Huangpu Ancient Village for the trip after lunch. Note that this village is Haizhu District, not Huangpu District. The scenic spots mainly include the First Pass Memorial Hall in the Guangdong Sea, the Huangpu Ancient Port Ruins, and the Ancient Port Park. There is a house called Gugang Milk Po Jiang Crushing Milk. In today's words, it is an Internet celebrity. I saw a lot of people when I passed by, but because I had just eaten, I didn't stop. I must give it a try next time when I come.

A large-scale exhibition on the theme of "Flowing Glory" is set up in the First Pass Memorial Hall of the Guangdong Sea. The exhibition displays the dazzling brilliance of Guangzhou's Maritime Silk Road in the historical accumulation process in the form of pictures, objects, models, wax figures, electronic screen images and DVD playback. The main building of the memorial hall includes a two-story Huangpu Tax Hall, Yongjing Barracks, compradors and the "Ancient Port Heritage" Memorial Arch.

After coming out of the memorial hall, turn left and continue to move forward to reach the Huangpu Ancient Port Ruins. On the left is Huangpu Village, which has a strong atmosphere of life and there are various small vendors on the roadside. South China attaches great importance to ancestral shrines. We saw many ancestral shrines along the way, and some of them can be visited.

Because I saw one less spot today and it was still early, I decided to take a sightseeing Haizhu tram. The starting point is Wanshengwei and the ending point is Guangzhou Tower. The fare is 2 yuan. You can swipe your card, make electronic payment and purchase paper tickets. The entire operation time is approximately 45 minutes.

It was less than 5 o'clock when I arrived at the Guangzhou Tower. I searched for the route to Haixinsha on my mobile phone and found that I could cross the river by boat. Guangzhou Shuiba Line S11, Guangzhou Tower Fortune Pier to Haixinsha Pier, every day from 7:00 to 18:00, the route is very short, reaching Haixinsha in 3 minutes. If I took the 18:00 trip, I might be able to see the night view on both sides of the Pearl River.

Haixinsha is an island in the center of the Pearl River. The 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games was held here. It is now a citizen's park. Sitting in the park and preparing to wait until dark to take a few photos of the Guangzhou Tower. It is said that this is a good place to take photos.

At 5:40 p.m., the sky slowly darkened, and the lights of the Guangzhou Tower began to turn on. I took a few photos and recorded a short video of the light changing. The Guangzhou Tower can be photographed on the side facing the Pearl River, and the other side facing Huacheng Square can be photographed on the Twin Towers in Guangzhou and the Guangdong Province Museum.

The Liede Bridge on the left is like a beer bottle opener.

After taking the photos, I was ready to go back because it was raining lightly at night. You can also take water bus here in Haixinsha during the day, but you can only take the subway APM line to Guangzhou Tower or Huacheng Square at night and then transfer. I chose to build the Guangzhou Tower and then transfer to Beijing Road for a stroll.

Liyin Rice Noodles is also a chain store that is now strongly promoted on major food websites. Because she wanted to eat other things, I ordered a serving of Zhuangyuan Rice Noodles and tried it. It was beef and fresh shrimp. How to put it? After eating it, I felt that several chain rice noodle shops in Guangzhou were all good, but it was impossible to compare who was better.

The pork knuckle rice sold here in Guangzhou is also very delicious. The trip time was too short, so I had to hurry up and eat two more dishes. I bought pork knuckle rice and white-cut chicken rice in the alley opposite the Guangdong Province Department of Finance and packed it back to the hotel.


Day3, November 15, Hualin Temple, Guangzhou Sanhang Museum, Shamian, Yongqingfang

There is only one morning for the bullet train at 2 p.m., but it doesn't matter. These places planned today are all concentrated in the Laocheng District of Liwan District. After breakfast, go to Hualin Temple first.

Hualin Temple is located on Xilaizheng Street, Xiajiu Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou City. It was built in the eighth year of Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty (527). It is the cultural exchange place between Bodhidharma, the ancestor of Chinese Zen Buddhism, and the first of the four major Buddhist jungles in Guangzhou.

There is a nylon guild hall next to entering Hualin Temple. It is an existing Qing Dynasty industry guild hall in Guangzhou, but it is not open.

It seemed that there was construction inside Hualin Temple, and the area on the left was completely enclosed. I took a brief look and left.

Walk to the Guangzhou Shisanxing Museum. This museum is located in Guangzhou Cultural Park and is built on the basis of the Guangzhou Shisanxing Ruins. It is open for free. You need to present your ID at the left window of the museum to collect your ticket.


The museum's permanent exhibitions include the "Thirteen Lines Historical Exhibition of Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty" and the "Special Room Exhibition of Cultural Relics during the Thirteen Lines Period Donated by Wang Heng and Feng Jie". The "Thirteen Lines History Exhibition in Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty" consists of six major parts: "Opening the Sea and Setting Up Customs","Thirteen Lines Style","Thirteen Lines Trade","Convergence of China and the West" and "Towards Modern Times". The exhibition uses a large number of precious historical documents and historical materials and cultural relics left at home and abroad to show the nearly century-old history of the thirteen lines trade port from glory to its end. It also reflects China's foreign trade, Guangzhou's merchant group, the spread of Eastern learning and the spread of Western learning to the west. Historical events such as the eastward spread of Western learning and other historical events.


There are also AR group photos in the museum, where you can choose to take photos with your favorite cultural relics. I also tried a few, but the selfies were not good.

A chrysanthemum exhibition is being held in the Cultural Park, with a lot of styling layouts and a few random photos taken.

After coming out of the park, cross the road and walk along Dexing Road to the end, you will find Yanjiang West Road. The Guangdong Customs Museum is at the intersection, but the door is closed and I took two photos to flash away. Walking along the river, you will find sand faces not far away. I have been here twice, but I haven't taken much photos. I saw that the Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum was also closed. I looked at the opening hours announced at the entrance. It was open every Tuesday and Thursday. I should check it and visit it first yesterday. But leave some regrets to find an excuse to come back next time.

Walking a little further, you can see a bus on Yongqingfang Line 1, which is a bit like a sightseeing bus. The appearance of the vehicle is red, and the windows are also pasted with some stickers in Guangzhou style. The stops are basically named after attractions, so I got on the bus. Unexpectedly, no one else got on and off until the end of Yongqingfang, which was equivalent to chartering a car.

After getting off the bus, this road is called Enning Road. Walking along Enning Road will lead to Yongqingfang. After crossing the bridge at the end, you will reach Liwan Lake Park and so on. Because the time was about the same, I had lunch at a Jiaming Yang Roast Meat Restaurant at the end of Enning Road. Qingyuan Oil Chicken Rice. To be precise, the oil here should be a specially blended soy sauce. I felt okay when I ate it for the first time. I still prefer white-cut chicken.

It's almost time to finish the meal. I went to take the subway to Guangzhou South Railway Station and was ready to go home.

This weekend trip to Guangzhou cannot be regarded as just going. After all, there were still some plans before, but the specific itinerary and plans after arriving are still a little different. When I get home, I should prepare well for work the next day. I am prepared to wait for this weekend. After working on duty, I will choose the time to go to the next stop in Liuzhou.
