Best Guangzhou holiday apartments

The third largest Chinese city Guangzhou is also called the factory of the world. You will hardly overlook the economic importance of this metropolis during your stay in your apartment in Guangzhou. Industrial plants and modern architecture characterize the metropolitan region with its approximately ten million inhabitants and stand in contrast to the winding alleys, backyards and historic residential buildings of the city. Although Guangzhou has few sights to offer in the classic sense, the metropolis gives you an impression of the contrast between tradition and modernity that characterizes so many Chinese cities. A private accommodation in Guangzhou allows you direct contact to the population without restricting your privacy, as would be the case with couchsurfing in Guangzhou. You can get to know the daily rhythm of the metropolis in the popular karaoke bars and clubs as well as in the countless small restaurants offering Cantonese specialties such as Dim Sun. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the big city, Guangzhou also offers places of peace such as the Guangxiao Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in the city with its extensive parks. Book with us for example an accommodation in Xiangyangxincun in the centre of Guangzhou and visit from here the city lake Liuhua.

Apartments in Guangzhou, the economic metropolis on the Pearl River

In the middle of modern Guangzhou, you will find historic temples and pavilions that bear witness to the city’s long history, including magnificent buildings such as the pagoda of the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees. The landmark of the city is the monument of the five goats in Xuexiu Park; here you will also find many other historical buildings. Also worth a visit is the 600 metre high Canton Tower, which at its opening in 2009 was the largest television tower in the world and offers an impressive view over the city and the Pearl River Delta. If you want to see Guangzhou from a completely different perspective, you can, for example, leave one of our Apartments in Tianhecun to the river and take a ferry ride. The city ferries of Guangzhou are not only surprisingly cheap, but also offer you a beautiful view of the city. The promenade attracts many walkers especially in the evening, when the illuminated excursion ships go up and down the river. But Guangzhou is also a true shopping paradise, and if you want to get an impression of the hustle and bustle of the Chinese markets, you should visit the four-storey market BaiMa at the main station. Here, haggling and bargaining takes place from morning till night, while huge mountains of clothes are transported in sack trucks.
