Experience Guangzhou's vibrant evening atmosphere on this 6-hour private guided tour, combining historic quarters, modern shopping, authentic Cantonese dining, and a scenic illuminated Pearl River cruise. This curated itinerary captures the city's blend of traditional architecture and contemporary landmarks in a single experience.
At 3.30 pm, your guide will meet you in the lobby of the central-located hotels, and start the night tour in Guangzhou. Firstly you will go to Lychee Bay where you will view the old Xiguan old buildings with traditional Canton Style, arch bridge, stage etc.
Afterwards you will go to Beijing Road to wander around the shopping street, which is always busy from day to night. You can purchase all sorts of clothing or souvenirs here.
