Such an amazing wonderful woman with a talented team. Very good photos. I was welcomed and taken care of! Don’t worry if you don’t know how to pose you’ll have fun! She speaks very good English so easy to communicate with. Be mindful of other stores around unfortunately I was almost tricked by a store next door make sure your booking matches the store! Would definitely recommend this store/ service!!

Costume - Due to reviews on klook, I got the sense of the style I wanted to look for. When I reached the shop, a staff showed me the costumes which they have on an ipad, and explained the different style. Ultimately, I chose 战国袍 as I liked the style most. This process was fast for me. Make up- it was good. I didn't have to worry about a thing. The make up artist helped me match with the correct accessories and color of my make up. Photographer - despite of the super hot weather (37 degrees now) which caused us to sweat non stop, he was still very patient with me. I am not so good with poses hence I appreciate his guidance and patience. Selection of photos - it was super fast. Within 10 minutes, I could select my photos. They are of good quality.

The hotel is clean and smells lovely. Its location is close to tourist attractions, and it's easy to find restaurants nearby. The staff are wonderful and provide excellent service, including the front desk, housekeepers, and doormen. Everyone is cheerful and extremely helpful. The room is newly decorated, clean, and the bed is comfortable. What I liked most was having a separate sofa area for lounging and a desk for working.

We had an amazing stay at Citynote hotel. The location was excellent. Just a few steps away from Dafo Temple and a few minutes walk from Beijing road shopping street. They also have an amazing dining experience with free midnight snacks. Will definitely stay here again.

Highly recommended - 1) location is great, linked to onelinkmall and mrt, walking distance to nearby malls like grand view. 2) Good sized,comfortable one bedder for a couple with a toddler. Had a pillow menu which is much appreciated as the default was too soft for us. What stands out is 3) Their service. All their staff made us feel welcomed and were prompt to attend to our requests.

What to know before visiting Guangzhou

Quick snapshot of Guangzhou City and its top experiences

Guangzhou City sees most bookings for theme parks, observation decks and events & shows, with tours and zoos & aquariums also popular. Demand peaks in May and falls to its lowest in August, giving the city a clear annual rhythm between busy and quiet periods.

Best times to visit for crowd and price preferences

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is May while the quietest month is August. Prices move modestly through the year: Klook data show the priciest month is typically January and the cheapest is typically June, with prices roughly a quarter lower at the cheapest point versus the priciest. Travelers who want lower prices and smaller crowds should aim for June through August; those wanting peak-season atmosphere and the liveliest calendar should plan for May. Demand and price don’t move perfectly together here—May is the busiest but not the absolute priciest month—so pick the month that matches whether you prioritise atmosphere or cost.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most visitors booking from the United States book close to travel: typical lead time is about 1 day, with many last-minute bookings possible. If you travel during May’s peak, consider locking in popular experiences earlier (Klook data show some people book up to around 11 days ahead) to avoid sell-outs; for off-peak months you can be more spontaneous. Use Klook to compare timing and pick the combo of price and crowd level that suits your trip.
