In two days, we will take you through the literature and ancient charm of Guangzhou and unlock some niche and hidden check-in spots. Day 1: Explore the Creative Park Morning: Arrive at Liangcang New Creative Park, which used to be a national grain storage area. Now it has been transformed into a check-in spot for young artists.
