Itinerary

Day 1Guangzhou Half-Day: Yuexiu Park and the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees

Yuexiu Park
Yuexiu is Guangzhou's oldest park and its civic symbol: the Five Rams statue commemorates the legend of the five immortals who brought rice to a city that had none, and the Ming-era city wall still runs across the hill above it. Inside the park, the Zhenhai Tower, built in 1380, houses the Guangzhou Museum and holds the city's history in five floors.

Temple of the Six Banyan Trees
The temple has been on this site for more than 1,400 years, and its name was given by the poet Su Shi in 1100. Its Flower Pagoda was rebuilt in 1097 and at its original height was the tallest structure in the city, with an outer corridor on every level.

Lunch stop
A Cantonese lunch or a dim sum stop on the way.
