🔹If you want to enjoy the cherry blossoms, it is recommended to go to Baomo Garden in the morning and then to Shawan Ancient Town in the afternoon. Generally, there will be more people in Baomo Garden in the afternoon~

1️⃣Shawan Ancient Town (Pictures 7 - 10)
Shawan Ancient Town is a rare place in Guangzhou that has completely preserved the Lingnan style. Walking on the bluestone road, you will see quaint buildings, century-old houses and a wide variety of handicraft shops on both sides. The air is still filled with the aroma of ginger milk and grass carp noodles. Every place is telling the story of the long years. It is full of life!

2️⃣Baomo Garden (Pictures 3 - 6)
This is Guangzhou's famous "cherry blossom resort". Every spring, cherry blossoms bloom on time, setting off the quaint Lingnan buildings. As soon as you enter the park, it feels like you have walked into an ancient painting: pink cherry blossoms surround the pavilions with flying eaves and pointed corners, and the weeping cherry blossoms by the pond sway gently in the wind, and their reflections are on the clear water. It is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it, and you just want to press the shutter of your camera immediately!

3️⃣Nanyue Garden (Pictures 14 - 16)
Nanyue Garden is just a few minutes’ walk from Baomo Garden. It is also a sea of cherry blossoms, but there are obviously fewer tourists here, which is perfect for those who want to take quiet photos. The cherry blossoms in the garden are scattered in every corner. Whether it is next to the pavilions or the bridges and streams, you can find super beautiful shooting angles, and the rate of filming is super high📸

4️⃣ Zi Ni Tang (Pictures 11 - 13)
Zinitang is a creative park transformed from an old sugar factory, retaining the original industrial style of the building. The towering chimneys and mottled red brick walls are full of retro aesthetic atmosphere everywhere. There are few people here and the scenery is beautiful, so it won’t be crowded even on weekends. When the weather is good, you can also see a super charming sunset 🌇 Any shot you take will be a blockbuster!
