Guangzhou Sehenswürdigkeiten

Guangzhou Essentials

Guangzhou’s landscape spans two millennia of history, from the 2,000-year-old Nanyue King tomb to the futuristic Zhujiang New Town skyline. This collection features the neo-Gothic Sacred Heart Cathedral, the colonial-era architecture of Shamian Island, and the intricate wood carvings of the Chen Clan Academy. Modern landmarks include Zaha Hadid’s Guangzhou Opera House and the 530-meter CTF Finance Centre, while Baiyun Mountain’s Moxing Summit offers panoramic views over the Pearl River Delta’s commercial hub.
