Suggested Itinerary

Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests and schedule.

Day 1 Guangzhou Arrival | Kapok Flowers Await

Welcome to Guangzhou! Once you arrive, your tour guide will meet you at the airport or train station. A private car and driver will then take you directly to explore the city.

Explore the solemn Buddha Halls of Guangxiao Temple, where people clutching a variety of flowers pray with deep sincerity. Then, step into the adjacent courtyard and joyfully immerse yourself in the vibrant sea of Yellow Bells.

Get ready for a classic springtime view at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. As 29 kapok trees burst into bloom, their fiery red flowers create an unforgettable sight, providing a stunning contrast to the hall's cool blue tiles.

Wander beneath the fiery blossoms of kapok on Lingyuan West Road and experience their heroic spirit firsthand, as they burst into vibrant bloom and fall with a powerful, resounding drop.

Step into a workshop on Beijing Road and join a local master for a hands-on Pipe Cleaner Flower DIY. You'll not only learn this unique craft but also get to create your very own kapok flower to take home as a special souvenir.

Day 2 Qingyuan | Gulong Gorge Adventure
Breakfast

Enjoy a seamless and comfortable one-day tour to Qingyuan's Gulong Gorge with your tour guide.

Follow the mountain steps to the Gulong Nine Waterfalls and experience the refreshing mist of the Wanzhang Cliff Waterfall. In March, the hillside comes alive with layers of blooming flowers, creating a spectacular three-dimensional effect.

Enjoy a three-minute ride on the Dengfeng Elevator to reach the 530-meter-high Yuntianboba.

Walk along the Glass Walkway and across the Glass Bridge, enjoying views of the canyon below. Then, you'll reach the Glass UFO Platform, where you can take in the spectacular sight of a waterfall cascading from the high mountain into the canyon.

Descend via a serene mountain trail, or for an added thrill, experience the slideway (at an extra fee).

Meander along the serene boardwalks of the Wanghong Valley. Admire the flowers and lush green landscape that blankets the mountainsides before heading back to Guangzhou.

Day 3 Foshan | City in Blooms
Breakfast

A comfortable drive from Guangzhou to Foshan awaits, during which you'll gain fascinating insights into the region from your guide.

Step inside the Foshan Ancestral Temple and you'll find much more than just a building—it's a comprehensive and distinctive temple complex with incredible architecture.

Explore the exhibitions dedicated to Ye Wen and Huang Feihong, and learn about the lives and legendary achievements of these two iconic figures.

Admire the Lion Dance Performance, a vibrant spectacle that combines martial arts, dance, and music to showcase the lion's agile movements.

Explore Qinghui Garden in springtime and appreciate why it's a great classical garden: the tranquil setting is made even more beautiful by the fragrance of blooming magnolia, camellia, and azaleas, along with lush greenery and vibrant koi ponds.

Explore Huagai Pedestrian Street, where you can shop and sample local snacks(at your own expense) before returning to Guangzhou.

Day 4 Guangzhou Departure | Panoramic Blossom Viewing
Breakfast

Explore the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall and admire the Yulan Magnolia (Yutangchun), whose layered purple petals create a stunning contrast with the stucco roof decorations, all set against the backdrop of the century-old building's gray tiles and soaring eaves.

Ride the tram along the Pearl River on Guangzhou's Most Beautiful 7km Flower Road, a scene of golden trumpet trees, bauhinia, and kapok flowers so picturesque it looks like it's from an anime.

Ascend the Canton Tower to the 108th-floor Star Observation Deck for unparalleled, breathtaking 360-degree views of Guangzhou's floral displays.

Relax with a comfortable ride to the airport or train station as you head to your next destination.
