Guangzhou Walking Tour To Explore The Old Xiguan Area

Your guide will meet you outside Exit A of Zhongshanba Station on Metro Line 5, holding a nameplate for easy identification. For added convenience, you may choose a centrally located Guangzhou hotel pickup during booking. The walking tour begins with a visit to Renwen Temple, a classic Taoist temple, followed by a relaxing stroll through Liwanhu Park, where locals gather to dance, sing, and socialize. You’ll then explore Lychee Bay, known for its beautifully preserved Xiguan houses, once homes of Guangzhou’s wealthy families. As you walk along Duobao Road and En'ning Road, you’ll immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of traditional Cantonese neighborhoods, full of markets, heritage shops, and lively street food culture. A local snack tasting at a nearby restaurant is included.

The tour continues to the cultural hub of Yong Qing Fang and the Canton Opera Museum, where your guide will share stories about the region’s rich performance arts. Next, you’ll head to the bustling Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street for a taste of Guangzhou’s commercial energy, and finally visit Shamian Island, an elegant waterfront enclave with colonial architecture from the British and French concession era. After the tour, your guide will assist you with arranging a taxi or guiding you to the metro station to return to your hotel.
