Is it worth it to experience the New Year atmosphere in Guangzhou, Foshan, and Shunde?

Departing from Chengdu to Guangzhou, I took my 7-year-old son on a 6-day, 5-night trip to experience the New Year atmosphere.

Day 1️⃣ City walk 🚢 + food
Chengdu πŸš„ Guangzhou (about 7 hours) Check in to Crowne Plaza Hotel in Chancheng District 🏨, 🚢 Lingnan Tiandi 🚢 Yangtingji

Lingnan Tiandi πŸ’›πŸ’› Too many people, not very special
Food πŸ› Yangtingji πŸ’›πŸ’› Long lines, food not very surprising, internet-famous restaurant

Day 2️⃣ Discover Lingnan architecture
Hotel 🚘 Sanshui Changqi Ancient Village 🚘 Beijiang Dike 🚢 Lubao Ancestral Temple

Sanshui Changqi Ancient Village πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› No entrance fee, you can see the wok ear houses with Lingnan characteristics, great for photos. There is a coffee shop in the ancient village, and I really like the sesame paste sold on the roadside.
Beijiang Dike πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› Feels like a Miyazaki movie in summer, less atmosphere in winter, but you can see fishing boats 🚒 from the dike, a pleasant surprise
Lubao Ancestral Temple πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› Very popular, with Lingnan characteristics

Day 3️⃣ Lion dance
Hotel 🚢 Ancestral Temple 🚢 Liang's Garden

Ancestral Temple πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› I really like it, although there are many people, the atmosphere is great, with lion dance, Cantonese opera, and great photo spots

Liang's Garden πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› Wearing Chinese-style clothes and walking inside is a great experience, the doors and windows are very unique

Day 4️⃣ Relax
Foshan 🚘 Shunde 🏨 Xiangyunsha Garden Hotel 🚢 Qinghui Garden 🚘 Shunfengshan Park

Qinghui Garden πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› Maybe it's the primacy effect, but I prefer Liang's Garden, the cultural and creative products are good
Shunfengshan Park πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› Very suitable for families, my son said it's perfect for him, flying kites, blowing bubbles, playing with big balloons, it's big, with a lake, tower, and boat 🚒

Day 5️⃣ Food
Hotel 🚢 Huagai Mountain Walkway 🚢 Jinbang Street πŸš‡ Guangzhou

Huagai Mountain Walkway πŸ’›πŸ’› Not very special, the view of Shunde from the top is average
Jinbang Street πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› Food, cultural and creative products, and small streets are all good

Day 6️⃣ Learn knowledge
Yizhi Hotel πŸš‡ Yuehai Customs πŸš‡ Guangzhou Art Museum Baietan

Yuehai Customs πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› The architecture is very unique, there are two explanations every day, suitable for both adults and children
Guangzhou Art Museum Baietan πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› Chosen by my child, not many people, has original works by Picasso, great for photos

There are still many places in Guangzhou that I haven't visited, leaving some regrets for next time! Changqi Ancient Village, Foshan Ancestral Temple, Foshan Liang's Garden, Foshan Shunde Xiangyunsha Garden Hotel, Shunfengshan Park, Yuehai Customs Museum
