    I was very satisfied with the room and the service was excellent. This hotel is very close to the zoo, just a 10-minute walk away. There's also a shopping mall nearby, making it very convenient for eating and shopping. Transportation is also very convenient. The room was spacious and comfortable. Thumbs up!

    It's really huge; you can't see everything in half a day. The air conditioning is very strong. There aren't many restaurants inside, but there are quite a few activities for children, although some of the equipment is a bit old, and some require advance reservations via a mini-program. The dome theater about aliens was a bit too advanced for the kids. The souvenir shop at the entrance is quite large, with many items at reasonable prices. I even saw garden eels—they were so cute!

    I wish I could post 100 pictures. The museum is huge with so many floors and artifacts, rocks and art to see. Truly an astounding piece of history. It was very crowded when I went so I didn’t visit all the floors but one day when I have time, I definitely will be going back to re-enjoy the museum and everything it has to offer.

    The botanical garden is quite large; it takes at least half a day to explore it all. There's a subway station outside the north gate, which is convenient. The tropical plant greenhouse is definitely worth seeing, with its many exotic flowers and plants. The ticket price isn't cheap, but overall it's definitely worth a visit.

    I returned to Guangzhou from Shunde at noon, and couldn't book any other museums. Many people recommended the Museum of the Nanyue King, so I took a taxi there. The museum was excellent, with relics and exhibits to see, divided into several halls. The environment was also very comfortable, with a central garden for resting. The only downside was the inconvenience of luggage storage. The lockers had various sizes, but only the small ones were usable, only for small handbags. Suitcases and travel bags had to be left on the floor behind the counter in the souvenir shop. The staff were also unhelpful, rushing us to pick them up even though they said the museum closed at 5:30 pm sharp. They said they would close early and we needed to come back early. If it were an electronic locker, I wouldn't be in such a rush to retrieve my luggage even with 20 minutes left before closing time.

    Guangzhou Zoo... the most cost-effective zoo. Tickets are 20 yuan for adults, half price for students, and free for those under 120cm tall and over 65. It's accessible via Metro Line 5, Zoo Station... right in the city center, with convenient transportation, including the subway, bus, and car.

    The Guangzhou Museum inside Zhenhai Tower is a fascinating place that beautifully showcases the city’s long history and culture. The five-story tower itself is an impressive landmark, offering great views of Yuexiu Park and the surrounding area. Inside, the exhibits cover everything from ancient artifacts to the modern development of Guangzhou, all well-presented and easy to follow. It’s a peaceful and educational spot perfect for anyone who enjoys history, architecture, or just wants a quiet escape in the heart of the city.

    Parking at the main entrance costs 10 yuan. Inside the park, pavilions and towers are scattered in a pleasing manner, and there are many small themed exhibitions to visit. The park is surrounded by waterways. Fish food for koi can be bought inside the park for 10 yuan a large bag, which is very affordable. The park has a notice stating that fish food bought outside the park is prohibited because the health of the fish cannot be guaranteed. A visit to the entire park takes about three hours.
