Your day begins with a hotel pickup in central Guangzhou. You’ll travel by private vehicle to Shawan Ancient Town, approximately one hour from the city. Along the way, your guide will introduce the rich history and cultural heritage of Shawan, a town famous for its Lingnan architecture and traditional craftsmanship.

Shawan Ancient Town: a charming riverside settlement with centuries of history. Wander through the narrow streets lined with traditional Lingnan-style buildings, stone bridges, and local shops. Here, you can watch artisans at work, trying your hand at pottery or wood carving, and sample authentic local snacks like claypot rice and handmade desserts. The town’s historic streets and preserved architecture provide a perfect backdrop for photography while immersing you in Guangdong’s traditional culture.

Baomo Garden: a classical Lingnan garden showcasing intricate pavilions, rockeries, koi ponds, and covered walkways. As you stroll through the landscaped grounds, your guide will explain the principles of traditional Chinese garden design and the blending of architecture and nature. You may also have the opportunity to experience a short tea ceremony or a brief calligraphy demonstration, gaining insight into the refined cultural traditions of southern China.

Shayuan Agricultural Market: Time to dive into Guangzhou’s culinary world! At Shayuan Market, one of the busiest local food markets, you’ll see locals bargaining for live seafood, exotic vegetables, and hanging cured meats. The colors, smells, and energy here are a feast for the senses – and photographers will love it too. After exploring the market, enjoy a nearby Cantonese meal: dim sum baskets, roast meats, or a comforting bowl of congee, just like the locals do.
