Cheng Clan Academy
The Academy of the Cheng clan is by no means the name of a Hollywood film about gangsters with a Chinese background, but a whole castle of the ancestors of modern residents of Guangzhou, built at the end of the 19th century. Even if you don’t know about the history, culture and traditions of Guangdong Province and its capital, they will tell you everything at once.
Baiyun Mountains
“White Cloud Mountains” is the name of the Baiyun Mountains, the most popular natural attraction in Guangzhou, located 15 km from the heart of the city. For more than a thousand years, the Chinese nobility have enjoyed contemplating mountain peaks sinking into the sky, fishing in low-lying lakes.
Beijing Pedestrian Street
The main shopping artery of Guangzhou and at the same time its bright attraction, Beijing Pedestrian Street is a must—visit place for several reasons at once. This is one of the oldest streets of the city, as evidenced by the fragments of paving stones covered with glass 700 years ago.
Temple of the Five Spirits
The Temple of the Five Spirits is an architectural reminder of the legend of the origin of the city. It is believed that once in this place of the Celestial Empire, five spirits descended to earth on five goats, each of which had a stalk of rice in its mouth.
Temple of Six Banyan Trees
The Temple of the Six Banyan Trees, along with the Temple of the Five Spirits, is one of the main religious attractions of Guangzhou. Tourists will be more interested in the elegant octagonal Hua-Ta Flower Pagoda towering above the temple.
