If you want to give your credit card some exercise, head out to Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, a popular place for shoppers in Yuexiu. Why not take a stroll along the riverfront and watch the sunset while you're here? Splash some more cash at China Plaza and Onelink Plaza.
You can study the exhibits at Archaeological Site of the Palace of Nanyue Kingdom, a museum with a story of its own, during your trip to Guangzhou. Stroll along the riverfront or visit the shops in this culturally rich area.
