First time in Guangzhou? We are locals. We show you around.
NihaoWays is two people in Guangzhou: Elaine, a licensed English-speaking guide who has led foreign visitors, and Dillon, a local driver. No big company, no bus tour — one small group at a time.
Guangzhou in 3 days
Day 1 — Shamian Island, old Guangzhou by the river. Day 2 — Chen Clan Ancestral Hall and Yongqing Fang, crafts and old streets. Day 3 — Huacheng Square and the river view at night. One area a day, no rushing. See the full 3-day plan.
Five things first-timers worry about
- Visa: many visitors enter visa-free — 240-hour transit for 57 countries, or up to 30 days visa-free for 50 countries. Check your stay.
- Payment: set up Alipay with your foreign card before you land. How to do it.
- Getting here: Baiyun Airport (CAN) to the city by Metro Line 3, taxi or Didi. Keep your hotel address in Chinese.
- Where to stay: hotels register you with the police for you. Bring your passport.
- Food: dim sum, roast goose, wonton noodles — fresh and light, not spicy. Tell us allergies and we translate them for the restaurant.
How it works
- You ask a price: dates, group size, days, interests. Send an inquiry.
- We reply on WhatsApp or email with a plan and a price. No online payment — you pay after you arrive in Guangzhou.
- Elaine guides, Dillon drives. After the trip, leave one honest sentence — reviews.
