Everything you need to know about Lijiaomatou Park
Consider staying at Marriott Guangzhou Tianhe North, just a 15-minute drive from Lijing Wharf Park, offering convenient access to the scenic waterfront and nearby cultural sites. The hotel features sky gardens and river-view rooms that provide serene views of the Pearl River, perfect for capturing morning light over the water.
Alternatively, Yajule Hotel Guangzhou in Panyu District offers free shuttle services to downtown and includes family-friendly pools and eco-gardens—ideal for travelers with children. It’s only a 10-minute ride via Metro Line 3 to "Lijing Station," making it easy to explore the park directly.
Both properties combine modern comfort with strategic locations, allowing guests to enjoy the charm of Lijing Wharf Park while being close to major attractions like Canton Tower, Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, and Lingnan Impression Garden. Choose based on your preference—urban elegance or tranquil retreat—both ensure a memorable stay.
The most convenient option is taking Line 3 of the Guangzhou Metro to "Lijing Station," with a 8-minute walk to Lijing Wharf Park—just 25 minutes from downtown areas like Tianhe or Canton Tower. This route avoids traffic congestion and ensures punctuality.
Bus options include B10, B24, and 769, stopping at "Lijing Village," but travel time varies due to traffic lights and peak-hour delays. For groups or those with luggage, DiDi or Gaode Ride-hailing services offer door-to-door convenience, taking about 18 minutes and costing around ¥35.
The park has ample parking, though spaces fill up quickly during holidays—reserving in advance is recommended. Metro access also connects seamlessly to other key attractions such as Beijing Road, Shamian Island, and Chigang Pagoda, making it ideal for multi-day itineraries. Along the way, passengers can witness Guangzhou’s blend of modern urban development and historic heritage.
Lijing Wharf Park offers several distinctive water experiences, including evening Pearl River cruises and pedal boat rentals along quiet channels. Visitors can glide through serene backwaters at dusk, enjoying illuminated village homes and traditional Foshan-style architecture reflected in the water.
Some boats come equipped with small speakers playing classic Cantonese pop tunes, adding a nostalgic touch to the journey. The park also hosts open dragon boat training sessions every weekend, allowing visitors to try paddling and learn about Guangzhou’s rich dragon boat heritage.
During the Lunar May 5th Dragon Boat Festival, a mini dragon boat race is held, drawing crowds along the banks for an authentic festive atmosphere. Families can join eco-guided tours led by naturalists, discovering local wetland flora and fauna such as egrets and kingfishers.
Afterward, stop by the on-site snack stalls to savor traditional treats like double-skin milk and lotus root juice—a delightful end to a culturally immersive day.

We booked this hotel because my girlfriend wanted to shop at Ai Yi Fu, and being right next to the mall made it super convenient. The room was clean, comfortable, and staff were friendly and helpful. The location is ideal if your main focus is shopping or staying close to the mall. However, if you're planning to visit places like Beijing Road Pedestrian Street or Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, expect about a 1-hour drive—so it's not ideal for exploring the city center. Airport transfers take around 40 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, which is average. Overall, I’d recommend this hotel if you’re mainly here for shopping or want a quiet base near the mall. It’s not perfect for tourists wanting to be in the heart of the action, but for what it offers, it delivers solid value.
