May 18, 2021 Almeta Stockton

Guangdong (Chinese: 广东) is a province in South China, located on the South China Sea coast. Traditionally romanised as Kwangtung, Guangdong surpassed Henan and Sichuan to become the most populous province in China in January 2005, registering 79.1 million permanent residents and 31 million migrants who lived in the province for at least six months of the year; the total population was 104,303,132 in the 2010 census, accounting for 7.79 percent of Mainland China's population. This also makes it the most populous first-level administrative subdivision of any country outside the former British Raj, as its population is surpassed only by those of the Pakistani province of Punjab and the Indian states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The provincial capital Guangzhou and economic hub Shenzhen are among the most populous and important cities in China. The population increase since the census has been modest, the province at 2015 had 108,500,000 people.

Shamian Island

This lovely, tree-lined neighborhood bordering the Pearl River was once home to foreign merchants, and today is a laid-back area ideal for strolling or stopping for a meal or cup of tea.

We stopped by after hearing about this area of town from plenty of other folks. We took a cab over from our hotel- roughly 15 minutes - and walked around for about 2 hours. Even at 9 am in the summer, it’s hot! We went through plenty of water and even found a 7-11 where we got a slurpee! I hadn’t had one is about 20 years, but that cools to the core! The white swan hotel, the fingerprinting guy at Helen’s place and the fabled friendship garden statues were all on the agenda and made for a good morning. We got plenty of souvenirs at Michael’s place and worked up an appetite sweating the rest of the morning! Takeaways - the maps here are not helpful and things can be hard to find. If you can map things out s bit beforehand, it’s worth it...or just get on WiFi. A great half day excursion that can go, basically as long as you want it to! Worth checking out for sure!

Xiqiao Mountain National Forest Park

Reviewed By Ailton007 - Seattle, United States

National forest park and national geological park with lots of hiking options, gardens (peach, bamboo etc.) and the Buddha as main attraction. Ask before you go on one of the buses which direction, they take different turns sometimes. Great for taking pictures and there's some amazing views as well. We spend roughly 3 hours there but you can easily take a day to visit this attraction!

First time for me to visit any zoos in China and it impressed me big time! This is a great way to visit the zoo- in AC and at your whole pace. You don’t have to be in the sun and walk 10K steps to see different animal! I personally much prefer this than any other zoo, by the way it’s a well managed zoo too!

Qifeng Park

Reviewed By wackyruss2015 - Dongguan, China

Qifeng Park is located right down the street where we live at the Green Return Garden in DongCheng. This park is INCREDIBLE and I feel like I'm Indiana Jones every time my family and I enter this jungle of a park! At night bats swoop down from the trees to catch mosquitos. After it rains you can find ENORMOUS snails slithering about. You an feed bright orange and yellow koi fish at the huge pond. There is a HUGE temple straight out of some Kung Fu Movie. We even found a SECOND temple complex hidden on one of the side roads that has a HUGE reclining Buddha like in Bangkok!!!! The Red Lantern at the top of the hill is incredible. This park has it all. It's like exploring ancient temples in a jungle.

Wutong Mountain

Hiking Wutong Mountain is one of Shenzhen citizens’ most popular activities (and offers trails for all experience levels). It’s a great way to get exercise and breathtaking vistas. On a clear day you can see Hong Kong.

Reviewed By mrbrentharris - Shenzhen, China

The climb/walk is not easy... Many steps... parts are unpaved and slippery... That being said- the views are incredible... You can see clear across the city to Nanshan... Bring sunscreen, water... there are places along the route for drinks and snacks
