Watch a Beluga Dick dance at the Beluga Dick Concert Hall. Here, I discovered that the huge white whale could also sing and dance in the water. When the wonderful music sounded in the museum, the trainer and the white whale hugged each other in the water, spinning or dancing, completely intoxicated by the music. Dance with the music.
In this 40-meter-long acrylic display tank in the Deep Sea Wonders, there are a variety of gorgeous fish schools and mysterious landscapes of the Atlantis Empire.

Million sunflower garden, a garden that is always available all year round
Million Sunflower Garden is the first park in China to use sunflowers as ornamental plants and design them into a super-large theme garden. If it is a sunflower garden, how can there be no sunflower? The sunflowers here are open all year round and are the only ones in the world.
There are sunflowers in the sunflower garden, one by one, looking up stubbornly to follow the direction of the sun, blooming enthusiastically. Whether viewed from a distance or close, it is extremely beautiful. In addition to Sunflower Garden Scenic Area, there are also millions of flowers in the flowering period, such as sunflowers shining and warm winter, smoked clothes intoxicating people, roses loving forever, super crabapple red through the sky, etc.
The hanging garden in the tulip exhibition area is the lavender garden, and the lavender garden is also a must-visit place to check in! This is the only lavender garden where Chen Yirong, the actress of the youth idol drama "Lavender", has visited. Walking into the flower field, white buildings stand tall against the blue sky and white clouds, showing a European style. Whenever the flowers bloom and the wind blows, the entire lavender flower field undulates up and down like deep purple waves layer upon layer, like the natural rhythm in a landscape oil painting.
There is also the Rose Garden. The roses here are different. There are rose trees two to three meters high. Hundreds of roses can grow from one crown. The most special thing is that the roses bloom on tall trees or on curved hanging branches. The flowers are bright and the flowers are fresh, with many layers of petals, a strong sense of three-dimensional layering, and a particularly beautiful photo taken.
Although it is winter, roses are still blooming enthusiastically, one after another. The red ones are as passionate as fire, the pink ones are as gentle as clouds, and the white ones are as elegant as snow, just like the love it represents. Although every kind of love is different, they are all so sweet, enthusiastic and brave.
Want to bring children here to learn about nature and animals? Come to the Rainforest Squirrel Garden, where there are various small animals such as parrots and squirrels. As soon as I walked into Squirrel Valley in the rainforest, I heard the pleasant sound of parrots, saw parrots flying around overhead, and little squirrels jumping around on the branches. But the little squirrels here are extremely obedient and close to people. They will actively approach people and even jump on people. It is a good place to bring children to get close to animals.
Guangzhou cuisine recommendations
1. Tao Ranxuan 丨 Must-eat Michelin Cantonese restaurant, Lao Guang taste memories
Taoranxuan (Ersha Island Store) is a single-family building located on the riverside. It looks like a very grand hotel on the outside, but when you walk in, it is a typical Cantonese restaurant style. Different from ordinary Cantonese restaurants, many of the decorations and displays here are cultural relics collected by the owner, even from the Zhou Dynasty. The whole restaurant is ancient and has a very atmosphere. Eating here is simply enjoying delicious food full of Lingnan culture.
Shajiang Baked Lingnan Chicken, the first impression of this dish is the aroma! The special spicy aroma of sand ginger and the delicious flavor of chicken blend with each other, making it irresistible as soon as it is served! The chicken is delicious, tender and smooth, and the sand ginger is spicy and tempting, making people forget it after eating it.
Wild mushroom foie liver grains, cut foie liver into small pieces, fried in soy sauce, and cut into square small pieces and stir-fry together with Pleurotus eryngii. It not only retains the delicacy and delicacy of the foie liver, but also blends the freshness of the fungi. It looks plain. A dish is actually full of surprises.
Honey roasted pork sausage has thin and transparent skin, and many and sufficient stuffed pork. In the words of a friend in the industry, there is too much meat in this sausage, conscience!
There are also Hongyun brine platter, asparagus and white mushroom stir-fried big yuan shells, XO sauce dried vermicelli pot, yellow sugar walnut buns, cured radish cake and other dishes are also very good. Generally speaking, the Michelin restaurant deserves its reputation. It has a good environment and convenient location. You can also overlook the Pearl River view. The single-family restaurant has a large space. Wedding banquets and business banquets are excellent. The key is that you can taste a meal full of Lingnan culture.
2. Xinxing Hotel 丨 A century-old Guangdong brand, famous for four generations of sheep cooking in Guangzhou
Xinxing Hotel is a time-honored brand in Guangdong and Guangzhou. It has a history of 100 years since Li Tengbo founded Xinxing Snack Shop in 1910. Its growth closely follows the pulse of the times and the development of the city of Guangzhou.
Xinxing Hotel is a Nanpai sheep cuisine themed restaurant. Four generations have inherited and adhered to the secret recipe of Guangfu sheep cooking, and their century-old skills have never stopped. Even the famous gourmand Cai Lan loves this place very much. He has visited Xinxing Hotel more than 20 times and calls himself a "sheep maniac". He mentions Xinxing Hotel at the beginning of his new book "Cai Lan Tastes the World".
Guangfu Mutton Pot, Xinxing Restaurant makes a strong flavor, which is different from the clear mutton in the northwest. The mutton pot has a stronger flavor and highlights the aroma of sauce. It is said that every piece of mutton in the pot has a size standard, and the cutting and matching are strictly controlled at 2x5cm. This size can ensure that the mutton will not be cooked for a long time after being stir-fried and braised in Cantonese style. As soon as the mutton pot was served, you could smell the strong aroma of mutton and the meat flavor was full of it. The mutton retains a little tenacity and is very delicious. The aroma of the sauce completely penetrates into the mutton. When you eat it in your mouth, wow, the gravy is rich and the sauce is strong, which is very satisfying ~
Emerging Taste Three Treasures is another signature dish here, which includes authentic white-cut sheep, white-cut Magang goose, and wonderful tangerine peel pigeon. Among them, white-cut sheep is a highlight. Hainan Dongshan sheep is used. The mutton skin is crisp and the meat is fresh. In addition, the white-cut Magang goose is tender, smooth and delicious. The dried tangerine peel pigeon meat is firm and delicious. Taste the three treasures. You can eat three flavors in one dish, meeting the different taste needs of people at a table.
Whole sheep winter melon boat, my favorite dish! The first is the perfect score for the shape. The entire winter melon is carved into the appearance of a boat. The mutton inside is not just the meat of one sheep, but a combination of several breeds of sheep. There are also coix seeds, lotus seeds, etc. added in it. The mutton is crisp, soft and fragrant, the wax gourd is clear and sweet, and the coix seeds are crispy and soft. When combined together, the taste is very rich, and the soup is also very rich, fresh and sweet. It is a dish suitable for all ages. I drank two bowls!
I also like meringue stewed goat's milk!! The shape is a bit like meringue double skin milk. The meringue is plump on the bowl, which is very cute. You can taste the meringue first, which is crispy and fragrant, or break the meringue and mix it with goat's milk. The meringue is crispy and the goat's milk is mellow and sweet. When the two are mixed together, there are unexpected surprises.
Moreover, in Xinxing restaurants, not only can you eat mutton, but "one cup of two pieces" is the first choice for Xinxing. Under the personal guidance of He Shi, a leading Cantonese expert, Xinxing Hotel has launched a large number of nostalgic snacks in recent years, such as Ejie flour, crab covered pork lard buns, etc.
3. Songyue 丨 A must-check-in Japanese food restaurant in Guangzhou
After eating Cantonese snacks and mutton casserole, do you want something different? So, don't miss Matsuyue Self-Slow Cuisine. This is a must-check-in Japanese restaurant when traveling to Guangzhou.
The environment of the restaurant is very beautiful and beautiful. Whether it is wood-colored seats, screens, murals with wind elements, or decorations such as cherry blossoms, or simple and elegant bowls, spoons and cups, it makes people feel like they are in Japan. In the restaurant on the street, the entire decoration style is very comfortable and pleasant.
Moreover, this is a "dust-free restaurant" that can be entered by taking off your shoes. According to the clerk, the floor of the restaurant is tatami woven from rush grass, and you need to take off your shoes to enter. After entering, the feeling of stepping on the tatami with bare feet was like being in my own home, which made me feel extremely relaxed and at ease.
The restaurant also has private rooms with excellent privacy, which is very convenient and private whether it is a couple dating or a family gathering. The style of the box is classical and elegant. The murals of wind elements, the pure and elegant bowls, spoons and cups, the warm and bright lights, and the murs between relatives and friends all make people feel warm and happy.
I love the salmon sashimi here! Choose high-quality salmon from the Atlantic Ocean of Norway. The sashimi meat is tender and tender, and the fish oil is even. After taking one bite, the dense taste will melt immediately in the mouth, which makes your mouth full of fat aroma. Coupled with the slightly salty and spicy mustard soy sauce, it is very satisfying!
You don't have to go to Japan to eat authentic pine leaf crabs ~ Because Matsuzuki chose pine leaf crabs from Tottori Prefecture, Japan, the best producing area of pine leaf crabs. Each crab weighs more than 1kg, and the crab meat is firm and sweet. Whether it is sashimi, grilled, steamed, grilled with cheese, or crab meat hot pot, you can eat full of sweet crab meat. Every bite makes you want to stop.
Those who like beef must not miss out on raw roast beef! Choose the most tender and tough beef, keep the beef thin at 2 mm, and then use a spray gun to micro-roast, locking the oil at a rapid low temperature. After micro-roasting, the bright beef looks very tempting. It is wrapped in onions and served with the restaurant's secret sauce. With one bite, the delicacy of the beef and the sweetness of the onions spread out little by little in the mouth, just like Beautiful fireworks bloomed in the mouth, a perfect taste experience.
Where are the carnivores? Here is 1.5kg of Australian Tomahawk steak! This is simply a paradise for meat lovers. The nearly 50-centimeter-long axe handle of the steak looks very tempting, not to mention the right proportion of fat and meat on the steak. Every part of the steak looks so tempting. Can't help but covet it. The taste is the best when it is medium rare. It is very satisfying to eat meat in large gulps and bring some soft muscle tissue during tearing. The best thing is that the meat is tender and wrapped in abundant juice, and every bite exudes a fragrant aroma of meat!
In addition, in Songyue, you can also eat very fresh seafood and Japanese ingredients, such as delicious and soft sea urchins, fragrant and smooth pu-roasted eel, fresh, sweet and refreshing shellfish sashimi... Every ingredient is extremely fresh, and every dish is unforgettable.
Another great thing is that Songyue's service is amazing!, As a girl, compared to Songyue's hydrating spray, hand cream, gel water, combs, mouthwash, dental floss and other configurations, I am ashamed to be rough. Songyue can allow me to replenish my skin at any time, make up for my breath, organize my hair... Songyue's bathroom has everything I have and don't have in my bag!
