An evening cruise on the Pearl River is one of the tourist highlights in Guangzhou. The Pearl River is China's third longest river. By the time it reaches Guangzhou, it is highly polluted. But there are lights along the river, and lit-up buildings of the Guangzhou skyline near the river make the place colorful. Some very tall buildings with interesting designs have been going up in Guangzhou recently.

Perhaps the best restaurant is a restaurant boat called the Information Times. It has buffet dining and exotic music and dance entertainment. It seats about 300 people. The Tianzi No.1 holds 250 people. The Bright Pearl of Flower City is a luxurious ship. It has a banquet hall and also holds about 250 guests.

There are three piers in Guangzhou: Dashatou Pier (大沙头码头), Tianzi Pier (天字码头), and Xiti Pier (西堤码头). If you are staying in a starred hotel, check on cruise information and getting tickets. The ships cruise between White Goose Pool and Guangzhou Bridge. The scenery along this part is fascinating with jade-colored water and colored lights on shore.

Address: The Tianzi Wharf is on Beijing South Road.

There are many overseas customers coming to China for visit and they are interested to see our panda and tigers.

Well Guangzhou have two zoo,one is small one is big but normally considering economic saving,I would recommend to the small one which is located in Guangzhou city center and it costs only 20RMB for the ticket(if you need other activies inside,then will have extra other charges).

Actually the zoo is not small as you expected.It has all types of animals including monkey,tiger,birds,even pigs.And it takes all whole day to cover all places

I have been helping people as tour guide during their trip to China,as most of them only stop here for very short time when they do transfer flight,so I will guide them for Guangzhou one day tour to go through Guangzhou most popular and beautiful places
In order to meet all requirements,so normally the trip is tailer made which means I will list many popular places but you will be the person who decide to go or not. If you want to see zoo or you are interested in our history,I will advise you for different places so you could enjoy your trip better by visiting the places where you are most interested and you have never seen before
Today I helped a guy from Saudi Arab as tour guide to show him around and we went to Yuexiu park which is one of the biggest part in Guangzhou and have many historic and symbol sights of Guangzhou such as Five Rams and Zhenghai tower.It is very enjoyable in so nice park,nice weather,nice views…
Here is some photos which we took in yuexiu park:
Afterwards we took taxi to the zoo which he is very much interested to see our China panda.
In Guangzhou,we have two zoos. One is located in city center which is middle size and ticket only 20RMB(not include other packages). Another one is located in surban which is very big size and ticket 180RMB(with one ticket you can see all kinds of performance/show inside).So normally if you are not looking for lots of performance,it is good to choose the city center zoo which is more economic.So this time we select this one
By entrance the zoo,you will see a stone museum which has displayed so many kinds of artwork which are made by different stones.When you look at them,you will be amazed by China and Chinese for the amazing work!
Here is some photos which we took inside the museum.

Well keep walking,you will find all kinds of animals including pig,crocodile,turtle etc.And I love the most beautiful animal. Can you guess what is that? Peacock! Especially when they open their tail,it is so beautiful! I even took some photos with them as memories. Here it is:

Inside the zoo,we have went to see one performance which is all played by children.They are so cute and brave by showing us what they can do.What I learn from them is if you want to learn something well,you have to put lots of efforts behind.I think it is very important principle no matter for life or work.
I always treat my customers very good,no matter if I work as tour guide or business assistant or interpreter,we are working together very happily like friends.I do my best to help and support them and solve all problems they have in life and business,so they all appreciate my help.Meanwhile I get lots of repeat customers come back to me for assistance. Also many people are recommended by my customers which makes me feel very happy and appreciated.

hey there my name is Maureen.

i was born and bred in Guangzhou.

i have been working as an interpreter and tour guide for two years. i know Guangzhou very well,not only for markets but also night out and food.

i like travel a lot. partly because i like new things, to meet strangers, to know different cultures and also because i can see myself better when i travel . its real and i like this feeling. that's also why i came up with this idea to sign up this website to be the tour guide.

for my travel experience, i have backpacked in Europe and southeast Asia.during that time i have been doing volunteer jobs .and i have live in Germany for 6 months to work in one language school to teach Chinese.that was absolutely amazing life expertise for me! 

 
i do this business of myself i usually just offer my interpreter and tour guide services 
other services like car-renting and hotel booking are not my range of work but if you want i will do my best to help 
let me know in advance.

I'm sure you will have good time in Guangzhou with my guide

We have clients who are looking for cosmetic packaging.So in order to help sourcing,I went to one wholesale market called Guangzhou Xingfa Cosmetics Market.It is one of the 3 top cosmetic market in Guangzhou.In here you will find many shops selling cosmetics, cosmetic packaging and hair tools etc.Regarding the packaging,there is one special area called the packaging one stop market(包材总汇市场)which is located in 2nd floor,here you will be able to find so many different packaging.Some of them are trading company,some shops are factory direct selling.So if you are looking for packaging,this is good place to visit and compare.
Nearby you will find another market called Yifa Cosmetic wholesale market which is quite the same. And have thousands of shops selling cosmetics.I do not think you can even cover all shops in one week as there are so many.
By walking further(one metro station distance),you will find our Guangzhou biggest wholesale market called”Meibo Cheng”.All cosmetics shops and packaging etc are much centralized here,on 3rd floor of the building,you will find many packaging shops which can check the variety and prices etc.
Because all shops are located and distributed in different places and wholesale market,if you need to source some items,we have to spend lots of time cover so many shops in order to find good supplier and prices. So I think by now,you should also realize the sourcing work is not easy.
How to be an efficient in sourcing,how to identify good suppliers,how to negociate price etc,it needs to gain lots of experiences to understand them. If you need any help in sourcing items,please feel free to contact us!

From here , u can see many unearthed antique of the Chinese King-- NANYUE KING.

u can sensed the old Chinese culture by the environment and these beautiful antique.

also there are other antique exhibitions of other Chinese museums.really deserve to pay a visit.

The heart of Guangzhou's former European concession—France and England both set up shop on this sandy river island in 1859 toward the end of the Opium Wars—Shamian Island is home to a number of colonial-era buildings, including a restored French Catholic church, Our Lady of Lourdes; its British Protestant complement, the Christ Church Shamian; and many former hotels, embassies, trading houses and residences.

The island (actually a permanent sand bank in the Pearl River) makes for pleasant strolling and sightseeing, with its gardens and tree-lined streets, restaurants, cafes and tea houses. You can stay on Shamian Island, if you wish; there is a youth hostel for backpackers and several hotels provide a higher degree of accommodations, with the five-star White Swan Hotel being a particularly popular hotel among travelers, a number of whom are in Guangzhou to adopt (the US Consulate is next door, making legwork and paperwork easier).

History

Shamian Island was a very important port for Guangzhou’s foreign trade during the rule of the Song and Qing Dynasties, and for several centuries this tiny patch of land was the only place in China that any foreigner was permitted to live. As such, you will find a great deal of 18th century European and American-style architecture. The island also became a strategic point, and the location of some conflict, during the Opium Wars. During this time the territory was divided into two parts, the French concession and the British concession. The differences in architecture and cultural legacy remain to this day.

Sites

Although it is not exactly laden down with landmarks, Shamian Island is a great place to stroll around and unwind. The gardens that stretch down the main boulevard are a great place to wander and take in the sites of the island, and they’re especially popular for wedding photos. But the architecture is unique and really quite beautiful, and there are at least a couple sites worth hunting down. One of the first that you are likely to find is the French Catholic church, (露德圣母堂) located at Shamian da jie.

The first day of 2014, we had a day off . We take it serious because this day means the one new year is really coming and we will have more good luck and money. Then we came to a wonderful place called Yuanxuan Temple  in Huadu district.

For me I especially like this kind of place with peaceful, sacred and imaginable atmosphere. Because when I was a little child, I always played many fairy stories computer games and watched many TV series like these. I was addicted to this to some extent.

Here you can see the Lao Tz bronze statue. You may wonder who is Lao Tz. He is a great person in ancient China. The Taoist School he set up has influenced millions of people in China including me. So this temple was built in the basis of him and his theories. Also you can see many god animal and figures of Buddha and lots of wonder views.
If you want to find momentary peace, here must be an excellent place, when you are here you will immerse in it as if you are in a real wonderland. If you want to know about Lao Tz, especially you should come. It must be a good choice.
