I heard that the red cotton here is about to bloom soon. The two large kapok trees in the garden are ready to go, and dots of red cotton are hanging on the branches. I should have come too early. The kapok is still in bud state. I believe in another week, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall will be full of red cotton.

Flowers set off the magnificent historical buildings. The nearly century-old Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall witnesses Guangzhou's rapid development. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is a commemorative building funded and built by the people of Guangzhou and overseas Chinese to commemorate Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the great revolutionary pioneer.
The magnificent octagonal palace-style building stands tall and has the powerful four characters "The world is for the public". It has strong national characteristics and makes people awe-inspiring.

Walking into the building, under the dome, the former conference hall has now become a performance hall, where various performances are often held. It is also an important venue for large-scale gatherings and performances in Guangzhou.

The construction of the memorial hall was also very clever. The designer cleverly used the structural principles of architectural mechanics and used a mixed structure of steel frames and reinforced concrete. There was no column in the building space with a span of 71 meters.

In front of the memorial hall is a square. You can see the towering statue of Sun Yat-sen on the square. You can take photos as souvenirs. It is also very artistic when photographed from the memorial hall.

The building of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall itself is very eye-catching. It consists of four palace-style buildings with double eaves and mountains, front, left and right. It is like a four-story rolling dragon ridge, forming a whole, arched out of the huge octagonal shape in the center. Sharp roof.

On my second stop in Guangzhou, I came to Shamian, where I found the ingenious fusion of Lao Guang and Western style. In Shamian, the most important thing was to see a variety of buildings in different styles. There are 42 neo-Baroque buildings with outstanding characteristics. Style, imitation Gothic, coupon gallery, neoclassical and combination of Chinese and Western styles.

It shows Guangzhou's 19th century European style and is a must-check place for young literary and artistic people to take photos. Whether it is walking in the shade and looking around the buildings of different styles, or looking for a cafe to look at Swan Pond, it has a unique atmosphere.

Shamian, once known as Shicui Island, was a sandbank formed by the alluvial flow of the Pearl River. Later Shamian became an important commercial port in Guangzhou. After a century, more than ten countries have set up consulates in Shamian, nine foreign banks and more than 40 foreign companies operate in Shamian, and Guangdong Customs Club and Guangzhou Club have been established in Shamian.

Shamian has witnessed the changes in Guangzhou's modern history and left behind the footsteps of great people such as Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Premier Zhou Enlai. Shamian has become a microcosm of my country's modern history and the history of the concession. The European-style buildings on Shamian Island have formed a unique open-air architectural museum.

Among them, the main attractions are the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, which belongs to a building in the French Concession and was formerly known as the Shamian Catholic Church. It is named after the original building of a Notre Dame Mountain on the south side of the garden of the church, where the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes was placed. It was established by the members of the French Consulate in Guangzhou to live their religious life.

The sandy surface is full of exotic customs and the environment is also particularly beautiful, with flowers blooming and green grass.

Shamian Island has good greenery, with more than 150 ancient trees. The air is fresh and the environment is very sanitary. It can be called a paradise in Guangzhou. Therefore, it is often crowded here. Not only do tourists come here to take photos, but locals also like to come here. Take a walk and breathe the fresh air.

There are also many sculptures in the sand surface, and groups of lifelike, beautiful, vivid and interesting copper sculptures are also worth seeing.

Among the dozens of sculptures, some have distinctive national characteristics, such as the postal letter box in the Qing Dynasty, the old man playing with a bird cage... Some highlight Western culture, art and life interests, such as foreigners playing the violin... Some reflect the mutual integration and penetration of Chinese and Western cultures, such as the mutual etiquette between Chinese and foreign girls, violin teachers and kindergarten children... are all very interesting

Not far away, the White Swan Hotel was an early five-star hotel in Guangzhou, with hometown water pouring down from the interior. It is the place of sustenance for many overseas Chinese after returning to Guangzhou.

Guangzhou Shamian, this European building dyed in pink and blue is located at Nos. 50 to 52 Shamian. It was once a French patrol house and is now the most beautiful Starbucks cafe in Guangzhou. The old banyan tree on the roadside is almost over a hundred years old.

Beijing Road
Beijing Road is a place I go almost every time I come to Guangzhou because it is so lively here. Beijing Road Pedestrian Street has a total length of 1.2 kilometers. This commercial street located in the center of Guangzhou City is the largest commercial pedestrian street in Guangzhou and even the country. It is famous for its rich Xiguan customs and historical and cultural heritage. Beijing Road Pedestrian Street is well-deserved to be called "Asia's No. 1 Commercial Pedestrian Street".

While shopping, you can also see the Millennium Ancient Road Ground Museum and learn about the layout of Guangzhou City thousands of years ago. The steady flow of tourists has made this one of Guangzhou's most famous pedestrian streets. It is a popular place for new and old Guangzhou people to visit, and it is also a favorite traditional shopping spot for Guangzhou people.

Although the New Year has passed, the roads in Beijing are still as lively as it is during the New Year. Red lanterns are hung high, shops are lined up, and tourists are crowded.

The buildings on Beijing Road fully reflect the architectural style of Lingnan culture and are a multi-functional commercial district integrating shopping centers, food courts, leisure and entertainment. In the design, a variety of modern techniques and means are used to shape the style of Lingnan, and a combination of modern technology and traditional means is used to reflect Guangzhou's commercial and cultural characteristics. It also reflects Guangzhou's profound cultural heritage and economic strength.

On Beijing Road, in addition to buying a variety of goods, you can also taste local delicacies and snacks.

There is also a Great Buddha Temple on Beijing Road, which is a quiet place in the downtown area with a lot of incense. The layers of buildings in the Dafo Temple are like the oil houses in the Japanese anime "Spirited Away" and Hongya Cave in Chongqing.

small waist
When you come to Guangzhou, you will always check in to check in the small waist of the Guangzhou Tower, and the best time is at night, because the small waist behind the lights is the real beauty.

The main body of the Guangzhou Tower is 454 meters high and 125 meters away from the south bank of the Pearl River. It occupies a very superior geographical location. It is a tall tower building with a total height of 600 meters. Therefore, it is a landmark building in Guangzhou and has also become a very symbolic building in Guangzhou. It is known to the outside world as the tallest tower in China.

There are many positions to shoot Xiao Man Yao. I recommend Huacheng Square and Haixin Bridge in Zhujiang New City, which are both very popular locations to shoot Xiao Man Yao.

Cruise ships come and go on the Pearl River, and the beautiful bridge body of Haixin Bridge looks particularly charming under the night view of Guangzhou.

The reason why I like Guangzhou is mostly due to my love for Guangzhou's food. Guangzhou's food is rich and colorful. From high-end Michelin dinners to the lao-Canton flavor of the market, you can eat a variety of Cantonese delicacies. The thing I want to go most is of course the Taoyuan Pavilion of the Guangzhou Garden Hotel recommended by Michelin.

The restaurant's name comes from the Sanjie Yi of Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan. The ancient decoration and murals of figures from the Three Kingdoms seem to have traveled back to the Three Kingdoms era.

The starters are mushrooms with black pepper caviar, lemon-flavored saint king, and pickled pepper chicken feet jelly. The mushrooms are smooth and the caviar is delicious. It is a noble and romantic enjoyment. The spicy pickled pepper chicken feet make into jelly taste, with a strong spicy fragrance.

The goose liver and suckling pig pieces are air-dried with fruit, and the crispy roasted pig skin is served with foie liver paste prepared with a trendy "brine dip". It is sweet, sour and sweet, and combines Cantonese and Western flavors.

Kung Fu Chen Tan Ginseng Flower Gel Soup
In Guangdong, soup has a long cultural history. The flower glue soup brewed with Xinhui tangerine peel, one of the three treasures of Guangdong, is presented in a unique kung fu pot. It is slowly poured out from the teapot. It is full of ceremony and takes a sip of hot soup., fresh and fragrant, both nourishing and warming the stomach.

Black truffle crystal apricot chicken
Cantonese people cannot have a feast without chickens. As one of the three famous chickens in Guangdong, Xinghua Chicken has tender and smooth meat and crisp skin.

Burning Shangri-La morels and snowflake cattle
Roast the top 5A snowflake beef with salt and wrap it in wild morels, taste the snowflake beef, and drink a sip of tea. The meat is tender and tender and melts immediately in the mouth.

There are also two-flavor lobster with rich taste
Cantonese traditional Chinese matsutake mushroom fragrant air-dried sausage rice
Exquisite seafood and unique desserts allowed me to eat distinctive high-end Cantonese fusion cuisine at Taoyuan Restaurant.

When eating in Guangzhou, in addition to those Michelin restaurants, I prefer to find street food that locals love. There are always various delicacies hidden in the streets and alleys of Guangzhou.

Cantonese people love to drink soup. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, they always have a bowl of soup. Today's Cantonese soup is also made very creatively. In Dayang Original Stew, you can taste the soup made of coconut as a container. Coconut stewed chicken with shredded bamboo, coconut stewed chicken with coconut.

After opening the lid of the coconut, the aroma is fragrant. The sweetness of the coconut and the umami of the chicken complement each other. The heat is sufficient and the soup is mellow. It combines Hainan ingredients with Cantonese cuisine, making it unique.

In addition to loving soup, Laoguang people also love to drink sugar water. Traditional Cantonese-style sugar water is also constantly innovating in practice, checking in on Internet celebrity sugar water shop apricot fu desserts.

Caramel stewed eggs with vanilla snowballs, pure Cantonese stewed eggs with Western-style caramel and ice cream, blend Chinese and Western, and the taste is rich and delicate. The signature sugar is not thrown, that is, glutinous rice balls. The glutinous rice balls with sesame paste are the latest limit.

Flowers bloom in Guangzhou and bloom in the sun. At the annual Guangzhou Tourism Super Destination Ceremony held by Poly Intercontinental, I saw the true appearance of why Guangzhou is called the Flower City. When the flowers bloom in spring, let's come to Guangzhou to see the flowers together.
