\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">@Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most iconic (and practically unmissable if you walk around the city at night) buildings to see in Canton is the <strong>Canton Tower<\/strong>, a gigantic telecommunications tower that is also the tallest tower in all of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Canton icon is located in the Zhuhai district and its <strong>600-metre height<\/strong> takes the breath away from anyone who witnesses its majesty. And, as we mentioned, it is even more impressive at night, as it is fully illuminated, leaving a multicoloured trail that sticks in your memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it&#8217;s no less impressive inside, with a range of entertainment options on the premises. One of the most striking and one that we definitely recommend you try if you like strong emotions is the <em>SkyDrop<\/em>, a <strong>free fall attraction over 400 metres high<\/strong>. It&#8217;s certainly not for everyone, but it&#8217;s one of the best things to do in Canton. And of course, don&#8217;t forget to climb the tower&#8217;s impressive observation deck, from where you can enjoy one of the best views in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-huacheng-square-amp-guangzhou-opera-house\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Huacheng-Square-Guangzhou-Opera-House\"><\/span>2.

It has stood the test of time like no other monument in the city, making it a must-see on your tour of Canton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s name comes after the six Banyan trees that once stood in its grounds and have appeared in Chinese cultural narrative and lyrics over the years. It is a very important part of the city&#8217;s cultural heritage, where the past and present come together to provide a sensory spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After more than a millennium of history, in 1907, another monument was built called the Flower Pagoda, a construction of Buddhist influence, like the rest of the site, which is undoubtedly one of the fundamental pieces of the whole enclave. Best of all, as majestic as the entire site is, admission is completely free, which makes this stop even more of a must on your list of things to see in Canton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-the-sun-yat-sen-memorial-hall\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-The-Sun-Yat-sen-Memorial-Hall\"><\/span>4. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another historical point of interest to see on your tour of Canton is the splendorous Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. The building sits close to Yuexiu Hill and serves to honour the memory of one of the founding fathers of modern-era China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The monument has the bearing that characterises the importance of the figure of Sun Yat-sen, a figure who embodies the revolution that took place in China in the early 20th century in this country. The space is gigantic and the gardens surrounding the memorial are a natural wonder to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a museum housed inside the main building, which explains in depth about the person who was Sun Yat-sen. It&#8217;s certainly a great way to learn more about the city and the country you&#8217;re in, as well as being able to revel in the process in a very beautiful space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-the-temple-of-the-chen-family\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-The-Temple-of-the-Chen-family\"><\/span>5. The Temple of the Chen family<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing on our route of museums and historical buildings to see in Canton, the Chen Family Temple is one of the must-see sites, as it is one of the largest and most historic in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chen family is considered one of the most important in modern Chinese history and the temple was built over a century ago during the Qing dynasty by Emperor Gaungxu. Its style is frankly traditional, but the detail and care that goes into the building makes it difficult to miss on any visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The space that makes up the complex is enormous, with almost twenty thousand square metres, as well as a main building and several halls that complement it. Inside the main building you can visit the Museum of Folk Arts and Crafts, a museum that we recommend you visit if you happen to be on the premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-the-isle-of-shamian\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-The-Isle-of-Shamian\"><\/span>6. The Isle of Shamian<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you long for Europe when you visit, don&#8217;t worry because in Canton there is a place that will transport you from East to West in a few moments. Shamian Island is a small island redoubt to see in Canton, where the European influence is in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This white sand island is located in the Liwan district, where all manner of European-influenced monuments and architectural complexes are a striking contrast to the rest of the city of Canton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a time, the French and English inhabited the island, something that forever marked the essence of this island, leaving the beautiful and distinctive European buildings that can now be found on the streets of Shamian Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-pearl-river-night-cruise\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-Pearl-River-night-cruise\"><\/span>7. Pearl River night cruise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One hour on the <strong>Pearl River<\/strong> gives you the best panorama of illuminated bridges, the Canton Tower and Zhujiang New Town in one go. Boats leave from the pier by the Tower; there are several routes and departure times\u2014book ahead on busy nights and sit outside if the weather\u2019s kind. It\u2019s a low-effort, high-wow add to any first evening in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-around-canton\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-See-Around-Canton\"><\/span>What to See Around Canton?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"28946\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/china\/things-to-do-in-canton\/attachment\/what-to-visit-in-canton-china\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-visit-in-Canton-China.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"What to visit in Canton China\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-visit-in-Canton-China.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-visit-in-Canton-China.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-visit-in-Canton-China.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"What to visit in Canton China\" class=\"wp-image-28946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-visit-in-Canton-China.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-visit-in-Canton-China.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-visit-in-Canton-China.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lit buildings to see in Canton @Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chimelong-paradise-amusement-park\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chimelong-Paradise-Amusement-Park\"><\/span>Chimelong Paradise Amusement Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A different place to enjoy on your trip to Canton and to admire the advances in technology that characterise the Guangzhou region and China&#8217;s development in general, this amusement park is a fantastic option for a day out in the Canton vicinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the Panyu district, this gigantic amusement park is one of the largest and most comprehensive in China.

Still, we&#8217;ve put together a few tips to make it easier for you to choose what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we can&#8217;t recommend that you start your trip to Canton with a visit to the Canton Tower. We also recommend a visit to the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees and the Sun Yat-sen Memorial, two monuments with a lot of history to tell in Canton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get away from the more typical, you can visit Shamian Island and the Sacred Heart Cathedral, two buildings that are closer to the European influence you&#8217;re more used to, but are certainly surprising to see in the middle of Canton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-and-what-to-eat-in-canton\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-and-what-to-eat-in-Canton\"><\/span>Where and what to eat in Canton?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Canton&#8217;s cuisine is renowned in many parts of the world and is undoubtedly one of the main attractions of travelling to a region like this. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve prepared a recommendation of some places where you can enjoy it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Charlie&#8217;s:<\/strong> One of Canton&#8217;s best restaurants, where American and Chinese cuisines merge, to create something incredible. The price range is between \u20ac10 and \u20ac25.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Kitchen Table:<\/strong> One of the best options to enjoy Asian food, with a peculiar style that surprises even the most travelled. Prices are around \u20ac20 per head.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sultan Restaurant Guangzhou:<\/strong> If you want to try an excellent mix of Mediterranean cuisine, especially focusing on Turkish food, the Sultan is a wonderful experience. Prices are around \u20ac15.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-stay-in-canton\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-stay-in-Canton\"><\/span>Where to stay in Canton?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that sometimes planning everything that goes into a trip can be a bit of a hassle, so to make your stay much more enjoyable, we&#8217;ve put together a short list of some accommodation for your days in Canton:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sheraton Guangzhou Hotel<\/strong>: One of the most luxurious places to stay in Canton, with amazing views of the city and all kinds of luxuries: its five stars are not for nothing.
