The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Guangzhou, Guangdong
China’s third-largest city is the capital of Guangdong Province and a thriving commercial center. Its location on the Pearl River and proximity to Hong Kong has made Guangzhou a strategic port for centuries. Glimpse old temples and gleaming steel towers on an architectural tour. Visit one of four Chimelong theme parks for thrills and chills. Once called Canton, Guangzhou is considered the home of traditional (read Cantonese) “Chinese food.” Foodies will find more restaurants per capita here than anywhere else in China.

3. Chen Clan Ancestral Hall-Folk Craft Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,095 reviews
A must-see attraction, with a history of more than 100 years and still in its original shape. The buildings are famous for their exquisite and mythical decorations, such as the brick carvings of historic figures. The temple also functions as a museum under the auspices of Guangdong Folk Arts Museum, exhibiting a variety of folk arts and crafts.

Great intro into Guangdong Folk Art. Traditional Chinese architecture and decoration, beautiful ornaments and ceramics on display and the building / temple as such is a sight itself. We started our day here and there's lots of other places nearby to check out, all easy to reach by taxi and some even on foot.
4. Museum of the Western Han Dynasty Mausoleum of the Nanyue King

Reviewed By SeeMoreLiveMore - Singapore, Singapore
An interesting place showcasing the history of the greater region before it became a part of China proper. Museum has many artefacts and is well-presented. The mausoleum on the grounds is simpler, but nonetheless, a good visit paired with the museum.
5. Chimelong International Circus
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 664 reviews
This 90-minute show is a mixture of The House of Dancing Water and the typical animal circus. The acts take place on and off stage and over the audience.
Reviewed By purple-lallang - Singapore, Singapore
We enjoyed this show very much. Do arrive early as it's free seating for the cheapest sector tickets. We took the free shuttle bus from the metro station to the circus venue. The pre show entertainment starts at 7 pm. A very enjoyable show not to be missed. Bought our tickets thru klook with easy redemption at the admission tkt counters.

We really loved our visit here. Hard to believe it is in the middle of the city. You walk in and go back 2,000 years. Amazing to see the craftsmanship and how they engineered the city. Wells that used sand to filter water and dams to control water. We spent about 2 1/2 hours. Lots of English signs to read.
7. Guangzhou Opera House

It is a very beautiful opera house, both inside and out. But when will they have Beijing opera and Sichuan/Chengdu quick mask changing performances? Guangzhou has the facilities, but not the shows. For a great selection of shows, Beijing is by far the leader. Come on Guangzhou, let’s gets more Chinese content.

Certainly better and more upmarket than Teemall. Good range of high and mid end boutique stores within the mall. It also has a large foodcourt and variety of good restaurants. Recommended.
