On New Year's Day in 2026, Guangzhou is ushering with over 500 diverse cultural and tourism events, ranging from performances and trendy experiences to cultural and museum activities. Data shows that Guangzhou ranks second nationwide in New Year's Eve homestay bookings, with nearly 90% of reservations made by post-1995 and post-2000 generations, making it an ideal destination for Gen Z celebrations.

The city's performance scene shines with artistic brilliance. Venues such as the Xinghai Concert Hall, Guangzhou Opera House, and Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall host both Chinese and international ensembles, including the Hanover Symphony Orchestra and the Italian Philharmonic Orchestra, ringing in the new year with symphonic melodies. Pop stars G.E.M. and Silence Wang join the festivities, while the Nansha Storm Festival ignites youthful energy.

The whole city bursts into celebration. The Guangzhou Haixinsha Carnival and Chimelong's new entertainment facilities create a vibrant urban playground. The Pearl River night cruise and the countdown event at Canton Tower form a stunning skyline tableau. Meanwhile, the blooming plum blossoms at Xiangxue Park in Huangpu District and the early cherry blossoms at Qixidi in Huadu District add a poetic touch of nature.

Cultural and museum exhibitions bring history to life. The Guangzhou Museum and the Nanyue King Museum offer hands-on workshops such as Canton porcelain painting, Song brocade weaving, and intangible cultural heritage crafts, allowing citizens and tourists to experience history through creative expression. Reading events and family workshops further spread the warmth of the holiday season.

With its rich blend of ancient and modern, urban and natural, Guangzhou invites visitors from all directions to experience the warmth of the Flower City and cherish the first beautiful moments of 2026.
