Guangzhou is a very meaningful city. As an old guy who has lived in Guangzhou for more than 21 years, I would like to share some places that attract me in Guangzhou with friends who may come to Guangzhou to play.

Guangzhou is a city with mountains both inside and outside the city. Although these mountains are not famous in the world, they are places where nature can be found at any time in daily life. There is Yuexiu Mountain in the city. This small mountain can almost tell the history of Guangzhou for more than 2,111 years. With the expansion of the city, Baiyun Mountain, which was originally outside the city, was also surrounded by the city. In Baiyun Mountain, there are places as busy as Peak Park, as well as Xanadus like Dishuiyan and Shuangxi. There are more mountains outside the city. Dafu Mountain and Maofeng Mountain are all good places to go.

Guangzhou is a place with a lot of water. The Pearl River Delta is probably a special delta in China. The Pearl River system flows into Guangzhou from the west, north and east, and it is divided into many waterways to enter the sea. There are the Pearl River in the city, countless small rivers, and the sea outside the city. When visiting Shamian, cheung chau island, Xiaozhou Village, Shenjing Village and Nancun Village of University Town, these rivers are also beautiful scenery.

Guangzhou is an ancient city with many cultural relics. The oldest is the excavated relics of Nanyue State. In the Middle Ages, there were Islamic light towers, Nanhai Temple, Guangxiao Temple and Liurong Temple of Buddhism, and in modern times, there were many Christian churches such as Shishi Catholic Church. In the late Qing Dynasty, Wanmu Caotang and Kangliang went to the world from here. It was also the base camp of Sun Yat-sen's revolution. The tomb of the seventy-two martyrs in Huanghuagang was solemn and solemn, the former site of Huangpu Military Academy, the Guangzhou Martyrs Cemetery, and the famous 19th Route Army and New China.

There are many museums in Guangzhou. Guangdong Provincial Museum, Guangzhou Museum, Nanyue King's Tomb Museum, Nanyue Palace Museum, Thirteen Lines Museum, Guangdong Customs Museum, Guangdong Revolutionary History Museum, Liwan District Museum, Guangzhou Art Museum and so on are all worth exploring.

Guangzhou has preserved many old towns and ancient villages, where you can see more authentic Lingnan culture. The most famous buildings in the old city are Xiguan and Dongshankou in Yuexiu District. The buildings in Xiguan are xiguan big house with distinctive Lingnan characteristics, while the buildings in Dongshankou are mainly western-style villas, both of which are full of literary and artistic styles. Xiaozhou Village, a famous ancient village, is a school of Lingnan water town scenery, and so is Shenjing Village. Huangpu Ancient Village is the seat of Guangzhou Port, which once enjoyed a world reputation. Now the scenery of the port is no longer there, but the identity of the ancient village of Lingnan Water Town has become a bustling tourist destination. On the other side of Panyu, there is a well-preserved ancient town of Shawan.

Shamian Island in Guangzhou is a concession in Guangzhou in the past, but it can also be counted in the category of the old city. Although the concession area there can't be compared with those in Shanghai, Wuhan, Tianjin and Qingdao, it is the epitome of Guangzhou as the most important port in China for thousands of years.

Guangzhou also has a very hot tourist attraction, Panyu Xiangjiang Wildlife World, which is really a good place to learn about the animal world and play.

Guangzhou is also a city with many bookstores and creative parks. There are 1211 bookstores that don't close for 24 hours, such as Xueeryou Bookstore, Xiaogutang Bookstore, Sisyph Bookstore, Fuguang Bookstore, Downing Bookstore, once Borges Bookstore, and perhaps Guangzhou Bookstore Center, which make people linger. There are 53 art centers, second-hand warehouses, red factory, 1851, TIT, Xinyi Club, etc.

As for the famous food, shopping in Guangzhou and Guangzhou is easy to find, so I won't go into details.
