Hop off at Hedong Station and dive into Guangzhou's authentic local life! This hidden-gem subway stop puts you steps away from old Liwan district's snack streets where steaming dim sum aromas fill the air. Don't miss the Liwang Lake Park with its classic Lingnan gardens - perfect for a sunset stroll. Pro tip: Join grandpas playing chess at night to experience the real 'cooling-off culture' of Guangzhou!

This luxury riverside hotel blends Lingnan elegance with colonial charm - think marble baths under crystal chandeliers and goose-down bedding fit for royalty (literally, Queen Elizabeth II stayed here!). Kids splash in the pool while couples stroll European-style Shamian Island. With 24/7 butler service, Instagram-worthy corners and direct subway access to Cantonese food streets, its 4.8/5 rating says it all: stellar service, legendary breakfasts and jaw-dropping Pearl River views make it a Guangzhou icon since 1983.
