A complete guide to one-day trips to Guangzhou on weekends
🙋♀️ We have compiled a day trip guide to Guangzhou, you can refer to it if you need it ~
👉 Route: Sacred Heart Cathedral → Shamian Island → Lai Wan Lake Park → Yongqing Square → Upper and Lower Nine Pedestrian Street → Along the West Road → Great Buddha Temple
🚗Transportation: 8:56 in the morning from Futian Station to Guangzhou South, 22:05 in the evening from Guangzhou South Station to Futian.
⚠️Notes are written on the front:
1️⃣ Sacred Heart Cathedral is best to go early, 11 o'clock I visited out, there is already a long queue outside
2️⃣ There are not many restaurants in Sham, since one person, the only few restaurants are not suitable, so I ended up eating McDonald's
3️⃣ Shamian is not far from along the west road, ten minutes walk to reach
4️⃣ Guangzhou has developed public transportation, call cars are more congested, you can take buses and subways using Yangcheng Pass.
