Guangzhou locals have a deep affinity for water. This city, born and thriving along the Pearl River, boasts a history as rich as the scroll of a thousand years. With the River flowing through its heart, Guangzhou has a landscape that tells tales of antiquity and modernity. To the north lies Yanjiang Road, while to the south stretches Binjiang Road. Strolling along the waterfront, from Zhoutou Peninsula to the Canton Tower, one embarks on a journey spanning at least two or three leisurely hours, appreciating its beauty while delving into its rich history. Beneath the towering Canton Tower, one can marvel at the bustling districts of Pazhou and Zhujiang New Town, or wander to the vicinity of Renmin Bridge to admire the Guangzhou Bund. This path seamlessly integrates modernity with tradition, offering a glimpse into the authentic charm of old Guangzhou amid the bustling crowds, distinct from the trendy tourist spots.
广州人爱“水”,这座城市因水而生,因水而盛。一江两岸,更犹如历史长卷。北有沿江路,南有滨江路,漫步其中,赏美景之余,轻松深读广州。沿着滨江路,可以从洲头咀走到广州塔,真要从头走到尾,怕是要两三个小时。你可以在广州塔下眺望琶洲和珠江新城的繁华,也能来到人民桥附近观赏“广州外滩”。一条路,融汇着现代与古朴,相比于人来人往的那些网红打卡街,它拥有更多的老广烟火气。
