I have lived in Guangzhou for 4 years. When I have time, I will invite friends to punch in the scenic spots in Guangzhou, and even I have been to many scenic spots by myself. I found several places suitable for couples to play. Let's use my play experience to give you a guide ~

Day1: Sacred Heart Cathedral in Shishi → Beijing Road → Big Buddha Temple

Day2: Guangdong Provincial Museum → Taikoocang

Day3: Guang Zhouta → Night Tour in the Pearl River

Day4: Shamian → Shangxiajiu

I'm here to introduce the route of Day4, Shamian. I really feel very good ~ The Sacred Heart Cathedral in Stone Chamber on Day 1 is actually a church, but it is not open to the public due to the influence of YQ, but it is still very good to take pictures. This scenic spot was taken by my classmates not long after I arrived in Guangzhou. Beijing Road is a pedestrian street, which is quite famous in Guangzhou. The Great Buddha Temple is on Beijing Road, and the night view of the Great Buddha Temple is beautiful.

you can mainly go to Taikoocang on Day 2, but the consumption there is quite high.

it's very good to take photos in Guang Zhouta on day 3, and the night tour of the Pearl River is also suitable for couples. If you don't go to Guang Zhouta, you can only spend 1+ for two people.

Let me talk about the strategy of Day4 Shamian → Shangxiajiu:

Shamian

Shamian is located in Liwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. It was once an important commercial port in Guangzhou. After the Opium War, it became a concession between Britain and France, and it became the epitome of China's modern history and old concession. The history of Shamian has been preserved here forever in the form of architecture. The European-style buildings on the island contain the elegant charm left by the old time, and now it has become the choice place for many people to take wedding photos.

Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 or Line 6 to Exit E of Huangsha Station, and get out from the exit and cross the opposite overpass to reach the destination Shamian;

take bus No.219, 236, 27, 297, 538 and 552 and get off at No.623 Road Station. You can also take bus No.81, 16, 11, 238 and 538 and get off at Cultural Park Station.

just navigate to the sand surface by car.

Tickets: free

Touring season: all year round

Tour route recommendation: Shamian North Gate-Shamian Hall-Notre Dame de Lourdes-Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum-Old Hall Collection-Customs Dormitory-Christian Shamian Hall-Shamian Exhibition Hall-Starbucks Selection-Former Site of HSBC

Must-visit attractions:

① Christian Shamian Hall ★★★★

② Shamian Exhibition Hall ★★★★ ★

If you don't know much about the buildings and areas of Shamian, you can go to Shamian Exhibition Hall to learn about the historical changes of Shamian first, which is helpful for the next play experience.

③ Starbucks in Shamian ★★★★★ ★

Known as the most beautiful Starbucks in Guangzhou, in a European Tiffany Blue House in Shamian, you can order a cup of coffee under the setting sun in the afternoon, and slowly feel the afternoon in Shamian. This is the only Starbucks with blue architectural style in China, which gives people the first impression of flashing to Europe in a second.

④ Former site of HSBC ★★★★★ ★

The former site of HSBC is an excellent location for many art photos. The baroque brown buildings, with Roman giant columns, are full of classical and retro feelings, and many young people like to take photos here.

Play time: 2-3 hours

After punching in Shamian, you can go to the nearby Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street ~ Shangxiajiu is a pedestrian street with a long history in Guangzhou, but now it is becoming more and more commercialized. The number of people who go to play is much less than in previous years, but it is good to go there for sightseeing or eating. It is 1.5 kilometers from Shamian to Shangxiajiu, and it takes about 6 minutes if there is no traffic jam. Generally, I can get there.

Shangxiajiu mainly comes here to punch in food. Personally, I recommend Taotaoju, an old Guangzhou brand here.

Taotaoju is mainly a place for eating, but we generally call it "drinking tea". The chicken feet, shrimp dumplings and open-hearth fragrant and smooth Portuguese tarts in Taotaoju taste very good, and the price-performance ratio is not bad. Two people can eat enough when they spend about 2 yuan, and the taste is sweet and light. If they like heavy taste, they may not be used to it.

The accommodation recommendation is Zhefei changshou road Store near Shangxiajiu, which is transformed from traditional xiguan big house. It is a bit like a Jianghu inn, and it can be reached within a few minutes' walk. It is next to the changshou road subway station, with a price of 15+, high cost performance and good comfort.

Personal Tips:

When you go to Shamian to play, you can bring several sets of clothes with different styles. It's really nice to click and shoot inside, and many people even go there to take a photo shoot, so don't miss this opportunity ~

It's recommended to choose light-colored clothes, which will be more out of the loop. It's recommended to go in the morning or afternoon. It's really sunny at noon, and retro style is super feel.

Shang Xia Jiu suggested that it would be more lively to go in the evening. If you have morning tea, you have to go early, but Taotaoju is open until the evening.
