GuangZhou 4 Days 3 Nights Self-Guided Mini-Tour 广州 4天3夜 自助小旅游 - Part 3 of 5

Because it rained all day, disrupting our plans, we changed our itinerary. This morning, we went to Tao Tao Ju dim sum at their branch in Tianhe City on Beijing Road.

After dim sum, we decided to visit the Sacred Heart Cathedral, located on Yide Road in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou.

The Sacred Heart Cathedral is a magnificent Gothic-style all-stone cathedral, designed by a French architect and built by Chinese craftsmen. It took 25 years to complete (1863-1888) and is the largest stone cathedral in Southeast Asia, often called the "Notre Dame of the Far East." It is famous for its exquisite granite carvings and stained glass windows and is a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Free Admission: Free.

Opening Hours: Generally open Tuesday to Friday mornings and afternoons, all day on weekends, closed on Mondays.

Transportation: Take Metro Line 6 to Yide Road Station. Highlights: Admire the rose windows, stained glass, massive stone pillars, and rooftop crosses (requires aerial photography to spot).

After the Sacred Heart Cathedral, we'll walk to Yongqingfang, enjoying the street shops and crowds along the way.

Yongqingfang is a historical and cultural district located on Enning Road in Liwan District. Through "micro-renovation," it integrates the old Xiguan arcade buildings and residences with modern cultural and creative industries and trendy businesses, becoming a national AAAA-level scenic spot integrating tourism, culture, and leisure. It preserves Bruce Lee's ancestral home, the Cantonese Opera Art Museum, and various intangible cultural heritage studios, showcasing the historical heritage and new vitality of old Guangzhou.

Location - Located in the core area of ​​Xiguan, Guangzhou, bordering Shangxiajiu to the east and Shamian Island to the south, it is part of Enning Road, Guangzhou's most beautiful arcade street.

Features and Highlights - A model of urban renewal: The first micro-renovation project in Liwan's old city, employing meticulous "embroidery" techniques to achieve a harmonious coexistence of old and new, hailed as a benchmark for urban renewal.

After exploring Yongqingfang, we took the subway back to Beijing Road Pedestrian Street for dinner, then did some more shopping before heading back to the hotel to rest.
