About the city of Guangzhou: Your comprehensive guide

Welcome to Guangzhou, a vibrant city where history meets modernity! This bustling metropolis is steeped in rich history, showcasing a mesmerizing blend of traditional and contemporary architecture. From the iconic Canton Tower lighting up the skyline to ancient temples nestled in quiet corners, Guangzhou is a city of contrasts. Dive into the local culture and explore its lively markets and serene parks. And oh, don't miss out on the local cuisine – it's a foodie's paradise, offering a taste of authentic Cantonese flavors that you won't find anywhere else!

Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries

Guangzhou, the heart of Cantonese cuisine, offers an unrivaled culinary adventure. Start with the famous Dim Sum – a variety of small, flavorful dishes typically enjoyed for breakfast or brunch. Don't miss trying Char Siu, a deliciously marinated and barbecued pork, and the delicate flavors of Wonton Noodles, a local favorite. For seafood lovers, Steamed Vermicelli Rolls with fresh shrimp are a must-try.

Venture beyond the mainstream with Snake Soup, a unique and traditional winter dish believed to have medicinal properties. Another local delicacy is Roast Goose, known for its crispy skin and tender meat, often accompanied by Plum Sauce.

For a sweet treat, sample the Egg Tarts, with their flaky pastry and creamy custard filling, or the refreshing Mango Pudding, especially popular during the summer months.

To quench your thirst, Guangzhou offers a variety of traditional teas, the most notable being the fragrant Jasmine Tea. Or, for something different, try Sugarcane Juice, a popular, refreshing drink on hot days.

At each spot of our audio guide, we'll provide recommendations for the nearest highly-rated restaurants based on Google users' opinions, ensuring you have the best dining experiences Guangzhou has to offer.

Transportation and getting around the city

Landing at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, you've got several options to reach the city center. The most convenient is the Guangzhou Metro; Line 3 directly connects the airport to downtown. It's fast, affordable, and runs frequently. If you're carrying heavy luggage or arriving late, taxis are available 24/7 outside the terminal. They're metered, so no haggling needed.

Once in the city, the metro is your best friend for getting around. It's extensive, covering major attractions and neighborhoods. Buses are another option, though they can be a bit more challenging due to language barriers.

For short distances, Guangzhou is pleasantly walkable, especially areas like Shamian Island and Zhujiang New Town. These spots are great for leisurely strolls, soaking in the local vibe.

If you're keen on a more structured sightseeing experience, hop-on hop-off tour buses are available. These are great for hitting all the major sights without the hassle of navigating public transport. Tickets can be purchased online or directly from the bus driver.

And for those moments when you just want convenience, taxis are plentiful. They're relatively inexpensive and can be hailed on the street or booked through various ride-hailing apps. Remember, having your destination in Chinese can be a real lifesaver with taxi drivers!
