Guangzhou Nansha International Cruise Home Port | A New Bay Area Seaview Landmark

Stand on the whale-inspired viewing deck and watch giant cruise ships glide past as waves lap at your feet. This is one of Nansha Bay's most photogenic seafront spots.

The 350,000-square-meter waterfront complex is both a new Greater Bay Area landmark and a relaxed place to enjoy the sea.

The 33,000-square-meter boutique commercial area faces the Lingdingyang waters, making shopping and dining part of the view.

Five themed areas include the sea-view platform, colorful deck, sailing zone, wave light steps and whale carnival.

Sailing Nansha | A Pearl River Voyage on the Sea

70-minute history route: Depart from Nansha Passenger Port, pass Humen Bridge and the Hengdang Islands, and arrive near Tin Hau Temple. It is ideal for history lovers, with views of former battlefield sites along the way.

140-minute sunset route: Sail past Huigu Super Levee and Mingzhu Bay Bridge, then meet Nansha's golden sea sunset against the IFF permanent venue and Shuangdaojian.

Puzhou Garden | A Garden Journey Between East and West

Created by Mr. Fok Ying Tung, Puzhou Garden is a cultural dialogue written in landscape. European geometric gardens express order and symmetry, while Jiangnan-style gardens reveal oriental poetry.

East zone: Geometric flowerbeds and straight axes create a refined European order, with light and shadow moving through the hedges.

West zone: Bridges, flowing water, pavilions and rocks unfold the quiet charm of Jiangnan gardens.

Central lake: As the link between eastern and western landscapes, the lake reflects both styles in shimmering light.

Dajiaoshan Coastal Park | Guangzhou’s First Coastal Park

This is Guangzhou's hidden seaside garden, with romantic sunset views and a soothing mangrove landscape.

Walk the 800,000-square-meter coastal promenade where mangrove wetlands meet blue sea and sky.

Follow the design axis and feel the long memory of the Maritime Silk Road.

It is one of the best places in Guangzhou to see the sea, the river and the city in one view.

Huangshanlu Forest Park | A Natural Oxygen Bar Close to the City

At 295 meters, Longshou Peak is the highest point in southern Guangzhou and an excellent lookout over the Pearl River estuary. Named after Huangshan and Lushan peaks, the 1,328-hectare forest park has 99% forest coverage.

Climb Longshou Peak for a sweeping view of the Pearl River flowing into the sea.

Walk through natural woodland with 405 plant species and the calls of 41 bird species.

Stroll by the wetland lake and enjoy the calm meeting of mountains and water.

The park has complete facilities for family hikes and mountain views.

Early mornings and misty moments after rain are especially atmospheric.

Fuzhou Island | Guangzhou’s Pristine Oyster Island

Hidden at the Pearl River estuary in Nansha, Fuzhou Island is a rare original island with no residents and no heavy pier development. It preserves a raw coastal landscape, Maritime Silk Road memories and a healing ecology.

As a historical sea-route node, it carries stories of merchant vessels and Lingnan maritime culture.

Thousands of egrets and pond herons winter here each year, while mangroves, mudflats and evergreen forests form a complete ecological chain.

From the Nansha coastal greenway, the island is especially beautiful at dusk, when golden light spreads across the sea.
