1. First, let’s introduce the most traditional Guangzhou Xiguan tour route, starting from Tianhe by subway to Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. In addition to eating and taking the bus, the first stop of the whole journey, Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, may require admission. All are free to visit
The first two days of Xiguan Folklore Tour
The arrangement is as follows: starting from the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall on Zhongshan 7th Road. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is a typical Guangzhou ancient academy with exquisite There are wood carvings, stone and gray sculptures. You can visit this scenic spot for 2 hours to a morning.
After leaving the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, walk 2 stops to Pantang. First, see Renwei Temple (Hai Bu Yang Bo), In the past, when foreign fleets came to Guangzhou, they would come here to pay their respects, which took up to an hour.
To the south of Renwei Temple is Panxi Restaurant, which reopened during the Spring Festival this year. This restaurant offers Cantonese cuisine, garden scenery, and Cantonese dim sum are very authentic and delicious. If there are many people accompanying you, you can have lunch + afternoon tea there. If there are only 2 people, it is recommended to book afternoon tea in advance
Panxi Restaurant is located right at the intersection of Xiguan Antique Street. This is also an artistic atmosphere. Take them for a walk. It takes about an hour.
Go back to Xiguan Antique Street, then get down and take him south from Wenchang North Road. The entire street is full of (imitation) antique furniture and stone carvings. At the junction of Wenchangnan and Shangxiajiu, there is Guangzhou Restaurant. You can consider having dinner here, but the first floor is sublet by Guangzhou Restaurant, so it is better to order on the second floor.
The night view of Shangxiajiu Road is passable, but Enning Road next to Xiajiu Road is better (it is recommended to go there on the second day) and has more old shops. Among them, Enning Road has a "Guangdong" "Bahe Guild Hall" is one of the few remaining dedicated Cantonese opera places in Guangzhou. Those who love music may find their singing here.
The Shangxiajiuyi area is already very close to the Pearl River. A little further south along Renminnan is the Pearl River. You can arrange to go to Shamian Island near Nanfang Building first (if you take the bus, the stop here is 623 Road) ), the entire island here is full of Western European style. There are many towering banyan trees that are hundreds of years old. The buildings are Western-style Gothic consulate buildings with a history of more than a hundred years. There are also many charming cafes and Western restaurants and several unique ones. The small church
In the evening, you can stroll along the Pearl River to see the night view of the Pearl River. The Pearl River night tour is also a tourist item that you can’t miss (the buffet is included for about 100 yuan per person, and if it is not included, it is 40 to 66 yuan). Eleven people, the scenery is better on the 2nd floor deck)
Go south on the Shangxiajiushun Renmin Road. A few hundred meters to the southeast is Yide Road. Yide Road itself is full of food and toy wholesale, but In the center of the road is the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, a majestic and exquisite building that is comparable to Notre Dame de Paris. It is a must-see (visiting is free)
Second recommendation is Guangzhou’s trendy shopping tour. Metro Line 1 runs through it throughout the journey. No need to It is very convenient to take other means of transportation
from east to west. , take Metro Line 1
1. Depart from Guangzhou East Railway Station, get off at Tiyu West Road, then go to Teem City and Zhengjia Plaza, where famous brand fashion cosmetics JUSCO Japanese supermarket Hong Kong PARKnSHOP supermarket It’s a concentrated area, you can go shopping
2. Then continue to the west on Line 1 and get off at Dongshankou. A little way out is the Nonglinxia Road Pedestrian Street. There are also many popular brand stores, and of course northern famous brands. Wangfujing Department Store, where goods are concentrated, and Dongshan Department Store, which comes out of Dongshankou, are also old local department stores in Guangzhou.
3. Then continue Line 1 to the west and get to the Martyrs Cemetery Station, which is the popular frontline underground shopping mall. Many young people like fashion stores with high cost performance, trendy girls and handsome guys love to shop. Opposite is China. The square is similar to Teem Plaza
4. Then continue Line 1 to the west and get to Gongyuanqian Station. This is the center of the city center. The Beijing Road Pedestrian Street is right here. You have to take a good stroll. Of course, the park The Animation Star City opposite the front is similar to the popular front line and should not be missed, as well as the Mayflower Plaza
5. Then continue to the west on Line 1 and get out of Changshou West Subway Station. This is Hengbaohua. The courtyard is similar to Tianhe City, smaller in scale. Walk south for 10 minutes after exiting the station. Of course, the main recommendation is Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. Don’t miss it. The things here are trendy and cheap.
All the delicious traditional snacks are concentrated within 1 kilometer of Shangxiajiu. In the center of Shangxiajiu, there are many snack bars that have been open for many years. Wu Zhanji eats porridge, Baohua Noodle Shop and Jianji eat noodles, and Yinji eats sausages. , there are also many sweet shops and ice rooms for desserts... I also strongly recommend drinking morning tea. The most famous places are Taotaoju in Shangxiajiu (named by Kang Youwei for them) and Guangzhou Restaurant. If you have money, you can go The White Swan in Shamian by the Pearl River, and the Panxi Restaurant in Pantang, which just reopened this year, are all traditional and famous old teahouses. The snacks are exquisite and typical Cantonese tea snacks, so great!
6. Finally, Shangxiajiu walked from west to east. When we got to Renmin Road, we walked 200 meters south along Renmin Road. We saw Zhuangyuanfang across the road. This is one of the origins of trendy goods in Guangzhou, also called Chuangrenfang. , a gathering place for student girls and white-collar sisters, the things here are trendy but very cheap (so be careful about the quality, and be careful about your wallet if there are too many people...)
I wish you a happy trip!
3. Finally, we recommend the delicacies within 1 kilometer of Shangxiajiu
It should be within 2 kilometers of Shangxiajiu. If it is just Shangxiajiu, there will be too few
As for Shangxiajiu itself, 1. On Shangjiu Road (near Renmin Road, about 200 meters away) there is Yinji Sausage, even Hong Kong Chua Lam recommends it (but I think the other one is better, I will recommend it later)
2. Continue west and walk to the intersection of Xiajiu Road and Wenchang Road. Guangzhou Restaurant is a good place to drink tea. Drinking tea in Guangzhou means eating various snacks, but the snacks in Guangzhou Restaurant are a bit expensive (compared to other Xiguan teahouses) < /p>
There is an old wonton shop on Wenchang North Road called Mother-in-law Noodles. It has a long history and the taste is okay. The sign is that there is an old woman making wontons at the door. The price is cheap and the taste is okay.
3 Go down Jiu Road to the west and you’ll find No. 10 Pohua Road. Turn to the north and you’ll find Baohua Road. When you get to Hengbao Huating Building, you’ll find Baohua Noodle Shop. This is a typical Guangzhou-style noodle dish with a wide fried sauce. The noodles are very good
4 Then walk forward on Duobao Road next to Hengbao Huating Building for about 500 meters to Guangzhou No. 3 Hospital. There is a Family Friendly Rice Roll opposite, only open from morning to 2 p.m. The sausage there is better than Yinji.
Then I recommend Shangxiajiu as the center. There are many snack bars that have been open for many years, such as Wu Zhanji on Longjin Road for porridge, Baohua Noodle Shop on Baohua Road and Jianji on Changshou East Road for noodles. Shangjiu Road or Wenchang Road Yinji eats Laochang, Wenchang Road’s Mother-in-law Noodles Wontons, Longjin Road’s Shikeng Beef Brisket Noodles which are only sold in the morning, Xinlian Laochang opposite Duobao Road City 2 Hospital (also only sold half day in the morning), Lin Ji from Daxin Road to Haizhu South Road eats oil-flavored pancakes, Master Lin has beef offal, and there are many candy shops and ice rooms for desserts...
