5.00Traveling in Guangzhou with three generations of our family was a wonderful experience. I first came here on a business trip 10 years ago, and the city has changed so much since then. Everything feels more modern and convenient, yet still full of local charm. It was a great trip for both the elderly and the kids, and we all enjoyed it very much.
Great experience
