Before coming to Guangzhou to visit, I did a week-long guide and finally settled on Guangzhou Boyi Hotel. After staying for three days, I immediately wanted to give all my friends who came to Guangzhou a heads up recommendation - it only takes 8 minutes to walk to Tianhe Park subway station, surrounded by locally hidden delicacies, and there is no need to take detours to all popular attractions. I can directly check the route in the whole province.
The transportation convenience is really impeccable. You can walk 8 minutes from the hotel to Tianhe Park subway station where Line 21 and Line 13 meet, 2 stops to the Pearl River New City, 3 stops to Pazhou Exhibition Hall, and 20 minutes to Guangzhou East Station by subway, without being stuck in the morning rush hour. I landed at Baiyun Airport and took Line 3 to Line 21 for a 40 minute direct ride. I didn't have to walk the complicated pedestrian bridge with my luggage, and walked along Yuancun West Street from the subway exit. The entire way was flat sidewalks, without the embarrassment of dragging luggage. There is a shared bicycle parking spot right outside the hotel entrance. If you want to take a leisurely stroll around the area, you can scan a car and get to Tianhe Park in just 5 minutes, which is even more comfortable than taking the subway.
The most amazing thing is the 10 minute walking circle around, which directly grips the fireworks of Lao Guang tightly. Take a few turns downstairs and you'll find a traditional sausage restaurant that has been open for over a decade. The beef sausage, which costs 6 yuan per serving, has thin skin and filling, and is topped with freshly mixed soy sauce. It's much tastier than the ones in popular online stores that cost tens of yuan. There is a pig miscellaneous Congee store that is open at 2:00 a.m. 5 minutes away. When I come back from shopping late at night, I can also drink a bowl of hot Congee with fresh ingredients until my eyebrows drop. There are three sugar shops in the surrounding area with different flavors. Yangzhi Ganlu, Jiangchong Milk, and Shuangpi Milk all start at 8 yuan, so you don't have to go to the old alley to find them. You can go downstairs and enjoy the freedom of sugar and water. Even the fresh food market that local talents go to is within 15 minutes' walk. They want to buy some fresh fruits and Dim sum, and then take them back to the hotel directly after shopping. It is more cost-effective than buying them in the scenic spot.
The routes to various popular scenic spots are all "short, smooth and fast": take the subway to the Pearl River New City in 3 stations, stroll around K11 and see the Guangzhou Tower, and it takes 20 minutes to get there; A 15 minute drive directly to Pazhou, there is no need to leave two hours in advance to visit exhibitions and markets; Ride a shared bike along Yuancun West Street for 10 minutes, and you can run to Linjiang Avenue to watch the sunset of the Pearl River. There are too many fewer people than the core viewing platform beside the the Pearl River, and the photos taken do not need P. If you want to punch Xiguan and Yongqingfang in old Guangzhou, take the subway and transfer to Line 6, and you can get there in 40 minutes, instead of taking the wrong way around the long road.
I didn't do any complicated strategies for the past three days. I woke up and went downstairs to have a sausage, took the subway to the scenic spots I wanted to go to, and had a bowl of pig Congee on the way back at night. I didn't even turn on the navigation. Before, when I came to Guangzhou, I used to be afraid of staying too far away and wandering around tourist attractions for two hours. But this time, I realized that choosing the right transportation and nearby destinations can double the happiness of the entire trip. Guangzhou Boyi Hotel is worth recommending to everyone around you.Show more
