    Chen Clan Temple is also called Chen Family Academy, which was built in 1890-1894.

    Mausoleum of Nanyue King, dating back to about 2000 years ago, reveals the very outset and depth of the history. The Nanyue Royal Tomb lies at the Xianggang Hill in north-western downtown. The original slope from hilltop leads you downwards through stone gate into the 20-meter-underground tomb in the hill, as if you were descending into the depth of history. The 100 square meters complex is of huge scale and systematic layout, made up of some 750 grit-stone pieces and divided into 7 chambers for different functions in front and rear parts. Rough colorful cloud painting is found on the walls and ceiling of front chamber while remains of bone ashes, clothes, arrow tips and life items are showed where they were in all chambers. Here you are subject to instant and vivid touch of a living world beneath of historic luxury.

The thousand-Buddha copper pillar cast in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) is kept on the top story of the pagoda. The 184-feet pagoda appears to have nine stories; inside, however, there are 17 levels.

Worthwhile day tour

Published on Jul, 2019

I was on business trip to Guangzhou and needed a relaxing day tour of Guangzhou city. I got what exactly I wanted. This was a private tour with English speaking guide (Kevin). They provided us with a nice big van. It was very comfortable and clean. The driver was safe driver. They covered the stops they agreed upon in timely manner. Lunch, tickets for the sights are all covered in the tour cost. Our guide, Kevin, was very informative. He has a good knowledge of history. The lunch provided was a buffet in a good restaurant. Our group contained 2 Indians and 1 Brazilian. We liked the food from the restaurant. We are very happy with the tour. If you have a day for city sightseeing, you can definitely go for this tour. Ask for Kevin as your guide.
