Don't miss the Canton Tower for panoramic city views or the Chen Clan Academy, showcasing traditional Cantonese architecture. Explore Shamian Island, a former foreign concession with European-style buildings. Yuexiu District is a great area for exploring, offering a mix of history and modernity. Indulge in Cantonese cuisine; be sure to try dim sum, and roasted meats.
The weather in Guangzhou is most pleasant during the spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) months. Avoid traveling during the summer (June-August) due to high humidity and occasional typhoons. October and November generally offer the best value in terms of flight prices. Consider planning your trip around the Canton Fair, a major trade event held in the spring and autumn, but be prepared for higher travel costs during these periods.
