[2025 Guangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Grandview Mall (Updated Jul)

Hey, everyone 👋! I just got back from a "shop-and-eat marathon" in Guangzhou, and I was completely conquered by the city's passion and tenderness! In May, Guangzhou is full of lush banyan trees 🌳, the aroma of morning tea, the stories of the arcade buildings, and the evening breeze of the Pearl River... I didn't want to leave any of it behind! Save this guide and let me take you on an immersive experience of the charm of "The City of Goats"~ 📍 Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, also known as "The City of Goats" and "The City of Flowers"! This is a millennium-old commercial capital, with historical sites such as the Chen Clan Academy and Zhenhai Tower 🏯, as well as the modern prosperity of Canton Tower and Zhujiang New Town. Authentic Cantonese cuisine is hidden in the streets and alleys, and the old arcade streets tell stories of the past. In May, the temperature in Guangzhou is getting warmer, but it's super cozy to enjoy morning tea in an air-conditioned room and take a night cruise on the Pearl River~ ✈️ Transportation Guide ✈️ Plane: Land at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and take Metro Line 3 North Extension or the airport bus directly to the city center. It's super convenient! A taxi ride takes about 40 minutes 🚖. 🚄 High-speed train: There are many trains to Guangzhou South Station and Guangzhou Station. It only takes 30 minutes from Shenzhen and Hong Kong! After exiting the station, there is seamless connection to the metro, buses, and taxis 🚍. 🚗 Self-driving: It is suitable for self-driving from surrounding cities! However, it is difficult to park and the roads are complicated in the city center, so it is recommended to take the metro~ 🗺 Recommended Itinerary Day 1: In-depth Tour of the Old City Shamian Island → Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street → Yongqingfang In the morning, stroll around Shamian Island, check out the European-style buildings, and take retro photos 📸! Have a morning tea at Tao Tao Ju for lunch, and in the afternoon, stroll around Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street to see the arcade street scene. In the evening, go to Yongqingfang, listen to a Cantonese opera, and feel the Xiguan style~ Day 2: Modernity and Nature Canton Tower → Pearl River Night Cruise → Tianhe CBD During the day, climb the "Little Waist" to overlook the whole city and experience the Cloud 488 observation deck! Have a bowl of sizzling pot for lunch and visit Grandview Plaza in the afternoon. In the evening, take a boat trip on the Pearl River to see the neon lights on both sides of the river, which is full of atmosphere 🌉! Day 3: Culture and Return Trip Chen Clan Academy → Beijing Road Pedestrian Street → Return Trip Visit the Chen Clan Academy, the "Pearl of Lingnan Architecture", and admire the exquisite brick and wood carvings! Have rice noodle rolls and Sampan Congee for lunch, and in the afternoon, stroll around Beijing Road and buy some Cockfighting Candies and Cantonese pastries as souvenirs~ Finally, go home full of memories~ 📌 Useful Guide 🎫 Tickets: Canton Tower starts from CNY 150, and Chen Clan Academy is CNY 10! Attractions such as Shamian Island and Yongqingfang are free~ ⏰ Time: It is recommended to arrive before 10:00 am for morning tea to avoid queuing. Choose the 7:30 pm session for the Pearl River night cruise for stunning night views! 📸 Photo-taking: Wear French retro style on Shamian Island, and take silhouette photos under Canton Tower for a super atmospheric feel! 🍜 Food Recommendations 1️⃣ Cantonese Morning Tea: Shrimp dumplings are crystal clear 🦐, siu mai is full of meat, and barbecued pork buns are fluffy and sweet! Dian Dou De and Tao Tao Ju are must-tries~ 2️⃣ Rice Noodle Rolls: The cloth-wrapped rice noodle rolls are as thin as cicada wings, drizzled with soy sauce and sesame, tender and smooth! Yin Ji Rice Noodle Roll, a time-honored brand, is a must-eat~ 3️⃣ Sizzling Pot: Chinese Bullfrog, frog, and pork intestine sizzle in a casserole, with a fragrant aroma! Zhe Ba Restaurant is super popular~ 4️⃣ Sampan Congee: Fish slices, peanuts, fried dough sticks, and egg shreds are cooked into a dense congee base, which is fresh, fragrant, and warms the stomach~ Wu Cai Ji Congee & Noodles is a must! 5️⃣ Plain Boiled Chicken: The skin is smooth and the meat is tender, the bones are bloody, and dipping it in ginger and scallion sauce is divine! Xiangqun Restaurant is super authentic~ 6️⃣ Double-Layered Milk Custard: The upper layer of milk skin is rich, and the lower layer is tender, smooth, and sweet. Renxin Milk Dessert Shop is a must-choose for desserts! ⚠️ Tips 1️⃣ Guangzhou in May is hot and humid with a lot of rain 🌧️, so bring an umbrella, sunscreen, and breathable clothes~ 2️⃣ There are many people in morning tea restaurants, so it is recommended to go during off-peak hours or get a number in advance! 3️⃣ The metro and buses support scanning the code with the "Guangzhou Metro" APP, which is super convenient~ 4️⃣ Some time-honored shops are hidden in the alleys. Follow the navigation and look slowly, you may find surprises! Hey, everyone, Guangzhou's delicious food and romance are really worth experiencing in person! Save this guide and let's go~💨

The Grandview Mall is fun for the whole family. Unlike some malls that cater exclusively to shopping and eating Grandview has tons of other amazing things available for the shopper to do! However, if you are looking to shop, look no further! It has hundreds of stores from designer brand stores to souvenir shops. A skating rink, karaoke booths, indoor rainforest, arcade, Merry Go Round and IMAX are only some of the many attractions in mall. The food options are endless and some of my favourites are the Japanese restaurants on the underground floor. Another cool thing about this mall is that they are always changing the decorations indoor and outdoors. They also have many different permanent exhibitions sprinkled throughout the mall which are nice to take pictures with. One things not to miss: The Lego store!! It’s huge and has so many massive Lego displays. Area to improve: Although the mall is enormous, it’s aquarium is quite controversial. I never visited as I have read stories that the animals weren’t treated well. Location: Corner of TianHe road and Tiyu East Road Nearest Subway Stations: Shipaiqiao Station/West Tiyu Road Size: 290,000 sq.m of retail space

They have many various locations around Hong Kong and in many neighbourhoods! Do give it a try for the Authentic Cha Chan Teng experience ! #hongkong #china #travel

Honestly I wish I stayed longer in Guangzhou to see more places and try new things! I loved every second of my stay in Guangzhou. I stayed at a reasonable hotel called Yibo international apartments which honestly saved me so much money and I was always up and down so I didn’t care about an expensive looking place because I’d never be in my room. I visited the Fashion square underground market, so inconspicuous yet so amazing. I found the best sushi in China there! I took a stroll down Beijing Lu pedestrian street and the view of the Dafo Temple (the big Buddha temple) was to die for! Afterwards I grabbed some duck with egg noodles from this fantastic Vietnamese restaurant called Tiger Prawn. I think y’all would definitely enjoy your stay in Guangzhou. Things on my list for next time are Canton tower and the Grandview aquarium too.

#discoverchina 📍上下九步行街，永庆坊
😋： 陶陶居 
They are all located within walking distance of each other!
陶陶居 is one of the famous Michelin dimsum eats in Guangzhou!! Yes, it’s pricey but i feel is definitely worth the try as the food is very tasty!! 
We went to the original shop located in 山下九, the building itself is about 4 stories high! We then headed to 永庆坊, Bruce lee’s home is located here! However we did not manage to explore as it was under renovation. Nonetheless, this area is still worth a visit as there are many cafes and shops around the area! #familytravel #guangzhou #couplestrip #travel #china

#discoverchina Hopped over from Guangzhou via HSR! 
🚇: Boarded at Guangzhou East Station. 
Do note that there is only one station to arrive to which is Hongkong West Kowloon station! 
If you are coming from Guangzhou East, do take note that the waiting area is slightly away from the main waiting area! There is a specific waiting area for those departing to Hongkong, is located beside the small shops once you go up the escalator. 
The train ride is really fuss free, is a typical HSR ride that can be found in China, just that we will have to clear the China and Hong Kong Customs together! 
It was about a 2 hour train ride 🚝. 
You can check out how I travelled via HSR in Chengdu/Chongqing 
————————————— 
🏠: our accommodation was in the Tsuen Wan West Area Nina Hotel Tsuen Wan West 
^Hotel has really tall buildings! Look at the view from our room at the 60th floor!
We decided on this hotel as it is connected to 2 malls, which was sufficient for us to get our meals. Tsuen Wan area is also about a 30 mins train ride to the city, which makes staying more affordable compared to places like Tsim Tsa Tsui or Mongkok. 
Tsuen Wan is surrounded by residential buildings, which means there are many eateries, 小店 we can find once we venture out of the hotel! 
—————————————
we explored Hongkong in a more leisure pace this time, given that it’s our 3rd time here! 
Here are a few places we visited: 
Yick Cheong Building [Monster Building]
Tsim Sha Tsui 
Mong Kok 
Nathan Rd [for Neon Lights and Dimsum! ]
Hong Kong Disneyland 
we also took a ding ding tram for the first time! It’s Hong Kong’s cheapest mode of transportation and we get to enjoy Hong Kong’s streets along the way! 
—————————————
‼️we can now use our credit/debit cards for transportation around Hong Kong! Just like in Singapore!
much more convenient for tourists who don’t have a 🐙 card! 
That being said …. A octopus card in Hong Kong, is still
Pretty much needed especially if you are dining in 小店, or visiting shops around the neighbourhoods, they mostly accept only payment via octopus card or cash!! 
However, the town and CBD areas in Hong Kong to accept credit card payments. All in all, getting an octopus card will still come in handy! 
————————————
Hong Kong expenses is pretty much like Singapore if not, slightly more, even though flights to the country for SQ can be a low as SGD320 for a round trip! 
However, I personally still think is worth a trip there , for a different city vibe, the old Hong Kong architectures and of course their food 😋 #discoverchina #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #familytravel #china #citydaytours #hongkong #disneyland

Resumed my travels in China and this time onwards to Guangzhou and Hong Kong !!
Even though Guangzhou might not have UNESCO Heritage Sites [or at least not to my knowledge 🤨] 
We went on a 8D7N trip for both countries!! Guangzhou truly lives up to its name of wholesale shopping and good food 🤤
I would say my expenditures for this trip weighs lesser compared to Shanghai, due to the costs of flight tickets and accommodations I managed to snag at discounted rates!!

Guangzhou 🇨🇳
Stayed at Fraser Suites Guangzhou, located in Tianhe district, similar to our town area in SG!
If you are going to Guangzhou with family, I will recommend Fraser! Fraser is an apartment like hotel where for a family of 5, we managed to book an apartment that consists of 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and it comes with a full kitchen as well!! It’s linked to a mall with a underground connecting metro: Shipaiqiao station 🚇
—————————
📍: 时尚天河
Located within 10 mins walk from Fraser. It’s an underground mall decorated to resemble old Shanghai! There are many different street food options available, as well as many clothing and handicrafts stores. 
This can be a pitstop for a more leisure paced schedule! As this mall is located within the vicinity of 3 mega malls! 
📍： Shamian Island 沙面岛
🚇: Line 1 or 6, Huangsha Station, Exit F 
A place with great historic significance. Many European styled buildings, each housing a different storefront eg. Starbucks, teaware, vintage clothing and many more! 
We stayed here for about 1-2 hours before heading off! I will only recommend this place if you are into history and photography, if not, this place can be a miss as there is not much activity here!
📍上下九步行街，永庆坊
😋： 陶陶居
They are all located within walking distance of each other!
陶陶居 is one of the famous Michelin dimsum eats in Guangzhou!! Yes, it’s pricey but i feel is definitely worth the try as the food is very tasty!! 
We went to the original shop located in 山下九, the building itself is about 4 stories high! We then headed to 永庆坊, Bruce lee’s home is located here! However we did not manage to explore as it was under renovation. Nonetheless, this area is still worth a visit as there are many cafes and shops around the area!
————-
Above are the few places I went in Guangzhou that I felt were worth the visit!! Guangzhou has many wholesale shopping malls and due to the limited time we have in Guangzhou we chose to loop those out of the itinerary! 
Do note that we also visited Guangzhou in December, hence most wholesale will be selling winter clothing ❄️ #discoverchina #guangzhou #travel #familytravel #myitinerary #china #discoverchina
