广东广州塔摩天轮 is the Chinese name for this Guangzhou Canton Tower Bubble Tram. Here is my wonderful experience I had in April 2025. I bought my tickets on Trip app and exchanged tickets in person at the ticket office. You will need passport details for everyone.

#Guangzhou Itinerary
I thought the cloudy weather would spoil the fun, but I didn’t expect that Shamian, shrouded in clouds and mist, actually has another kind of moving charm! There were lightning and thunder a few days ago. It was lucky to catch the cloudy but not rainy day.

Walking through the area, you will see European-style buildings and ancient trees complementing each other. The Baroque carved arches, dome-shaped spires, every brick and tile carries stories of the past; and the towering ancient trees have intricate roots, bark covered with old wrinkles, and branches stretching towards the sky like strong arms, adding a sense of vastness and depth to the neighborhood. The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, which made the scene even more pleasant than a sunny day.

I can't help but picture the sunshine in my mind - the golden light shines through the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows on the walls and stone roads. The flow of light and shadow must be beautiful like a dream. But at this moment, Shamian on a cloudy day lacks the warmth of the scorching sun and is more reserved and meaningful. Walking through it is like flipping through a thick history album, and every page is worth savoring.

No matter it is sunny or rainy, Shamian can always capture people's hearts with its unique posture. This is probably the most touching romance of the old city!

✨"A winding path leads to a secluded place, where a Zen room is surrounded by flowers and trees." At the foot of Yuexiu Mountain, there is a picturesque secret place hidden - Orchid Garden. This is a Jiangnan garden style, with gurgling water under small bridges, and pavilions and towers scattered around. Every step you take, the scenery you see is full of poetry.

A wall separates us from the noise of the outside world. Beneath the white walls and black tiles, orchids sway gracefully. Here, time seems to slow down, more than three times slower than outside. The moment when the kapok flowers slowly fall is just enough time to read a timeless haiku🫧.
