Activity itinerary

Chen Clan Ancestral Hall-Folk Craft Museum

  • 45m
  • Admission ticket not included
We will start the experience at Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, one of the most important cultural landmarks in Guangzhou. I will introduce its history, architecture, and significance in Cantonese culture. This is also where travellers will get a first overview of traditional Guangzhou life before we walk into the old town streets and local areas.

XiGuan MinSuGuan

  • 45m
  • Admission ticket not included
walking + local life + food introductionIn the Xiguan Old Street area, travellers will walk through one of the most traditional areas in Guangzhou. I will guide you through narrow lanes, historic Lingnan-style architecture, and everyday local life that still exists today. Along the way, we will explore small family-run food shops and street stalls where locals eat daily. You will learn about Cantonese food culture, how locals choose their meals, and the stories behind traditional snacks and ingredients. This stop focuses on slow walking, observation, and tasting authentic local life rather than tourist attractions.

Liwan District

  • 45m
Local street food area (Liwan / Xiguan food stalls) At this stop, travellers will experience real Guangzhou street food culture. I will introduce and help you order local dishes such as rice rolls (cheung fun), beef offal, traditional desserts, and handmade snacks depending on availability. I will explain what each dish is made of, how locals usually eat it, and how to enjoy it like a local without confusion. This is a hands-on tasting experience where travellers can try multiple small bites from different local vendors.

Yong Qing Fang

  • 40m
Yongqing Fang is a restored historical district that combines traditional Cantonese architecture with modern cultural spaces. I will guide travellers through preserved alleyways, old-style houses, and cultural shops while explaining the transformation of Guangzhou from old to modern city life. Travellers will have time to take photos, explore small exhibitions, and understand how local heritage is being preserved and adapted in contemporary Guangzhou.

Shamian Island

  • 40m
Shamian Island is a quiet riverside area known for its European-style architecture and relaxed atmosphere. We will walk along tree-lined streets, historical buildings, and the Pearl River waterfront while I explain the colonial history and cultural background of this area. This stop is designed for slow walking, photography, and relaxation after exploring the busy old town areas.
