Few corners of China are bustling at the scale of Guangzhou, the country’s third-biggest city. Situated along the Pearl River not far upstream from Hong Kong, Guangzhou may be a giant 21st-century economic powerhouse, but its cultural and historical attractions-including the Huaisheng Mosque and the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees-offer wonderful glimpses into a much deeper-rooted heritage.
Explore how thousands of years of culturally and artistically rich history resonate within one of China’s fastest-paced and most prosperous areas on this eye-opening journey to the Pearl River Delta. You’ll enjoy a full-day tour each of the Pearl River metropolises of Guangzhou (known for the Sacred Heart Cathedral, the Guangdong Provincial Museum, and other landmarks) and Foshan (which boasts, among other treasures, a hilltop statue of the beloved Buddhist bodhisattva Guanyin).
