Destination & City Travel Guide

About Guangzhou

Guangzhou combines older trading streets with a newer skyline along the Pearl River. Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is a strong introduction to local craft, while Shamian Island invites a slower walk past old buildings. Canton Tower and the riverfront work best towards evening. Travellers from India should identify their hotel district before choosing an airport transfer, as the centre covers several widely separated areas. Baiyun Airport has multiple terminals, and the correct arrival or departure terminal matters for the return trip.

Read more about Guangzhou

What's new in Guangzhou

  • October 2025: Baiyun Airport opened Terminal 3, adding a new departure and arrival location that travellers need to distinguish from the older terminals.
  • January 2026: international and regional flights previously using Terminal 1 moved to Terminal 3, changing pickup and departure arrangements.

Tips for travellers from India

Choose Tianhe for a stay centred on modern shopping districts, or the older Liwan area for an itinerary around traditional streets and the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. Shamian Island belongs with the western side of the city, while Canton Tower and the newer riverfront districts form another outing. This division avoids repeated east-to-west crossings.

Baiyun's third terminal makes the terminal name essential when arranging a car. The airport provides a free round-the-clock shuttle between all three terminals, but a terminal transfer is an additional stage of the arrival. Use the transport information for the building serving the flight rather than directions saved for a previous trip.

A riverfront evening fits naturally after Canton Tower, while a visit to the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall can lead into a closer look at Liwan. Treat a hotel in Tianhe as a transport base for the older districts, not as walking-distance accommodation for every historic sight. Guangzhou's spread is easier to manage through these distinct neighbourhood groups.

Best time to visit Guangzhou

October to December or March, about 17–27°C, for less humid walks.
