Guangzhou or Canton is the capital of Guangdong Province, it is one of the Major City in China and the third biggest city after Beijing and Shanghai. Guangzhou is situated around the Pearl River Delta and it takes few hours to reach from Hongkong and Macau.
Guangzhou is a city northwest of Hong Kong, a modern metropolis with some of the most amazing skyscrapers in the world. You can still find old and historical buildings around the city.
If you’re coming from Macau and you enter China from Zhuhai, the fastest way to get you to Guangzhou is by the taking the CRH or China Railway High Speed Train.
Take the train at Zhuhai Railway Station ( turn left when you exit at Gongbei Port, 5 minutes walk ) and get off at Guangzhou South Railway Station, the ride will take an hour. Once you reach Guangzhou Station just follow the signs to Guangzhou Metro it will take you to the city centre for around 30 minutes.
Or you can just take a direct bus(Macau CTS) from Zhuhai it will take 2 to 3 hours to reach the city.
So here are the things you can do if you have less than 2 days to explore the city:
