Description

Discover the charming water town of Dongchong on a half-day tour from Guangzhou. Enjoy a Wupeng boat ride, visit the Dongchong Watchtower, and explore local museums.
Discover the charming water town of Dongchong on a half-day tour from Guangzhou. Meet your guide at Dongchong Metro Station and walk or take a short shuttle ride to the Water Town Street. Board a traditional Wupeng (black-canopied) boat and cruise along Guangzhou's first water greenway — a scenic 3.6 km route through the heart of the water town. As you glide over the calm waters, listen to the Tanka folk songs, a treasured heritage of Guangdong's boat-dwelling communities.

After the boat ride, visit the century-old Dongchong Watchtower and climb to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding water town. Continue to the Dongchong Farming, Fishing and Hunting Exhibition Hall and the Root Carving Art Museum to learn about local history and traditional crafts.

In the late afternoon, admire the beautiful traditional fish lanterns, a listed intangible cultural heritage of the region. As evening falls around 6:30 PM, the Lantern Bridge lights up, creating a magical, romantic atmosphere — the best time to take photos around the water town theater. After the tour, your guide will accompany you back to Dongchong Metro Station.
