Things to do in Shamian Island

A nice experience. The boat was wide and had enough space for everyone.

We had an absolutely wonderful day with our tour guide Tommy and our driver Ajay. Tommy shared his extensive knowledge of Guangzhou's complex history and his local knowledge of the food, attractions and shopping. He took us to so many interesting places. Highlights included the Yong Qing Fang district, Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, the Cantonese Opera Museum plus so much more. The Pearl River night cruise was another great experience. Tommy looked after us every step of the way and helped us to take some great photos. When he realised I liked street art, he took a short detour to show me some! He was even happy to give us advice for the rest of our visit. Thank you!

It was a great decision to purchase tickets in advance through Klook this time. I went up the tower on May 2nd, and the crowd that day was no joke. If I hadn't planned ahead, buying tickets on-site would have meant a long wait or even not being able to get them at all. The bubble car ride also left a deep impression on me; it was spacious and comfortable, allowing me to easily enjoy the surrounding scenery from inside. As we slowly ascended, the panoramic views unfolded before my eyes, offering a truly expansive vista. The scenery was absolutely first-class, making me feel very relaxed and that it was well worth it. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the experience and highly recommend everyone to buy tickets in advance to save a lot of hassle and better enjoy the entire trip!

We had a fabulous day with our guide. He was so patient, kind, and helpful! I would absolutely book again next time we come back.

recommended if you want to see all the touristy area but be aware that not all buses have English audio, staff are helpful will assist as much as they can. they pick up every 30mins for every location.

We were welcomed to the tour by our guide Celine. We explored the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Experience Zone, Robotic Vending Machine, Haixinsha Omni-Space Intelligent Experience Center and took a ride in a Robotaxi. The tour ended with observing a drone food delivery. Many thanks to Celine for her patience with my elderly mum and her thoughtfulness in getting our names printed on 3D keychains.

Cecilia was our guide and we really enjoyed her detailed explanation in English throughout the whole tour. Even my 9 year son was thoroughly engaged! We learnt so much about the Chen Clan academy and would highly recommend this tour!

Great communication! So helpful! Beautiful views! You can book L1 to save money and still go onto the 3rd deck for free and see the city! We booked L2 and was very nice.

It was a fantastic experience and well worth it for the incredible views of the city lit up at night, including a great angle of the Canton Tower and the surrounding skyline! The 3rd-floor open deck is top-tier. Being up top gives you completely unobstructed 360-degree views and amazing photo opportunities of the city lights and the modern architecture along the river. The cruise lasts for about 70 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time to relax, take photos, and enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. Booking the 3rd deck came with an assigned table, plus some complimentary tea and snacks, which made the trip extra comfortable. Make sure to arrive at the pier at least 20 to 30 minutes before departure. If you are used to orderly lines, the crowd management here can feel a bit overwhelming, as people tend to push forward rather than queue up properly. Overall, the actual cruise experience on the top deck was wonderful. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Guangzhou!
