Exploring Ancient Guangzhou: From Historical River to Bustling Commercial Port

Day 1: As the sun rises, I step into Yuexiu Park, a testament to Guangzhou's history. The park is filled with towering ancient trees and lush green grass, with the Five Rams Statue standing quietly on the lawn, symbolizing Guangzhou. I stroll along the park's paths, feeling the weight of history and the passage of time. Next, I visit the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, a gem of Guangzhou's architecture. The hall is exquisitely crafted, with intricate carvings and paintings, showcasing the superb skills of the craftsmen. I pause to admire the beautiful wood carvings, stone carvings, and plaster sculptures, as if I can hear history gently echoing here. Day 2: In the morning, I visit the Guangzhou Thirteen Hongs Museum, a witness to Guangzhou's bustling commercial port. The museum displays a wealth of artifacts, from ancient trade currencies to exquisite silk and porcelain, each telling the story of the Thirteen Hongs' history and prosperity. Following the guide, I wander through different exhibition areas, listening to fascinating stories about the Thirteen Hongs, as if traveling through time to that prosperous trading era. Then, I head to Zhujiang New Town, a modern landmark of Guangzhou. Zhujiang New Town is filled with skyscrapers, with the Canton Tower soaring into the clouds, becoming a new symbol of Guangzhou. I stroll along the streets of Zhujiang New Town, feeling the city's prosperity and modern vibe, allowing my soul to relax in the historical river and bustling commercial port.
