Guangzhou (once known as Canton) is the capital of Guangdong Province, China's third largest city, and one of the most prosperous cities in China.
Guangzhou doesn't have a major tourist draw unlike "tourist cities" in China (Xi'an has Terracotta Warriors, Guilin has scenery, Chengdu has pandas, etc.). Many foreigners only travel to Guangzhou for the Canton Fair, but Guangzhou is also worthy of a visit for tourism. There is a lot to recommend: tasty Cantonese food, unique Lingnan (Southern China) culture, legendary history, awesome super-modern skylines, the energy of booming development, and more.
Our Guangzhou tours will enable you to discover the old and new of traditional and prosperous Guangzhou city. We have also designed tours to nearby areas such as Kaiping, Foshan, Chaozhou and Shantou, etc. Each tour can be tailored to match your dates and interests.

China trip as a solo traveler
![]() An den jeweiligen Orten wurde ich bei Ankunft bereits von ReiseleiterIn / FahrerIn in den Bahnh?fen / Flugh?fen und der Anlegestelle (am Ende der Yangtze-Kreuzfahrt) erwartet und abgeholt. Alles war perfekt organisiert, da auch alle Züge und Flüge (für mich als Deutschem aktuell leider keine Selbstverst?ndlichkeit mehr) auf die Minute pünktlich waren!Besonders hervorheben m?chte ich die spektakul?ren Bergpanoramen in Zhangjiajie und die sehr angenehme Art der dortigen Reiseleiterin Rachel. Sie war es auch, die mich motivierte, leckere kulinarische Spezialit?ten auszuprobieren, was mir im weiteren Verlauf der Reise sehr zugute kam.Auch Tensing E. m?chte ich erw?hnen, der mir Lhasa n?herbrachte und mit dem ich w?hrenddessen interessante buddhistisch-philosophische Diskussionen führte. more
