Lo más destacado
- Yum Cha (Dim Sum Tea Tradition)
A leisurely tradition of drinking tea alongside small steamed and fried dishes like har gow, char siu bao, and rice noodle rolls, ordered continuously from carts or menus. Guangzhou is where the modern yum cha tradition is generally credited as having developed.
- Cantonese Roast Meats (Siu Mei)
Roast goose, char siu (barbecued pork), and soy sauce chicken hung in shop windows and carved to order, usually served over rice. A defining category of Cantonese cooking distinct from the spicier styles found in other Chinese regions.
- Chen Clan Academy
An elaborately decorated 19th-century clan ancestral hall built by 72 branches of the Chen family, known for its intricate wood carving, ceramic roof sculptures, and Lingnan-style courtyard architecture.
- Shamian Island
A small island in central Guangzhou lined with European colonial-era buildings, once designated as a foreign trading enclave in the 19th century and now a quiet, tree-lined area for walking.
