Guangzhou, the third largest city in China and the capital city of Guangdong Province, offers an appealing blend of modern retail heaven and ancient attractions to those renting out short stay apartments. The city’s skyline is dominated by awe-inspiring skyscrapers, home to some of the world’s most prolific commercial businesses.

Guangzhou is home to countless shopping malls, as well as cultural attractions for visitors of all ages and preferences to enjoy. Guangzhou's most popular retail venues include Shangxia Jiu Lu and Renmin Nan Lu. Department store shopping is particularly favoured at the Teem Plaza. The majority of shops in Guangzhou do not accept haggling, expect when goods are being bought in bulk. Tourists with kitchen facilities in their Guangzhou serviced and self-catered apartments may wish to take a trip to one of the region’s seafood markets. 

Travellers to Guangzhou from further afield will find the summer months to bring a varied climate of sun and rain. The winter months are milder – not too cool yet not too sunny. There is no best time to visit Guangzhou however as indoor attractions are just as plentiful as outdoor attractions. Tourists will find it easy to explore the city from their Guangzhou holiday rentals via bus, taxi and train. Nature lovers will delight in the plethora of flora the South China Botanical Garden has on show. The city’s ancient history, which dates back as far as 214 BC, can be explored at the famous site of the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees.

Amongst Guangzhou’s most appealing attractions are its museums and parks. The Chime-Long Group provides families staying in Guangzhou aparthotels and holiday apartments with an exciting blend of circuses and waterparks. The Guangzhou City Art Museum rates as one of the best art museums in China. It hosts an array of traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy. The Guangdong Museum of Art, on the other hand, provides tourists with the chance to witness modern collections of artwork.

Eating out is a must in Guangzhou and locals spend significantly more time in restaurants than the inhabitants of any other city in China. Cantonese cuisine is the highlight for many tourists staying in Guangzhou short term apartments. Cantonese staples include an adventurous fare of reptiles, amphibians and insects. Seafood and pork is also available. Vegetarian tourists will not go hungry in Guangzhou; quality vegetarian food can be found. A range of Italian, French, American and Japanese cuisine is also served up in Guangzhou yet international chain restaurants are hard to find.
