Guangzhou/North and East

From Halal Explorer

North and East Guangzhou refers to five outlying neighborhoods of Guangzhou:

  • Baiyun (白云 Báiyún) — This neighborhood has a big rural touch, but is slowly being taken over by new developments. Highlights include the Baiyun Mountain.
  • Huangpu (黄埔 Huángpǔ) — Not well known among foreign tourists, this neighborhood is to the east of the downtown. Highlights include the former Huangpu Military Academy. Luogang (萝岗) District, which was cancelled in 2014, also became a part of Huangpu District.
  • Huadu (花都 Huādū) — Thit is a developing industrial area. Highlights include Huadu Plaza and the New Baiyun International Airport.
  • Zengcheng (增城 Zēngchéng) is famous for its lychee fruit, which are picked in June and July.
  • Conghua (从化 Cónghuà) is known for its thermal spas (Muslim Friendly) and Tianhe (Heavenly Lake) Recreation area.

Guangzhou/North and East Halal Travel Guide

A once densely forested area, Zengcheng was founded in the year 201AD, and is a well developed town with good transportation. Within China, Zengcheng is famous for its high quality and juicy lychees, which are sold under the brand-name of Gualu (挂绿 guàloù). It cannot be considered a tourist destination but if you find yourself there, head towards the river to see the local residents going about their business much as they have done for centuries. There are a number of good restaurants and a few moderate bar/clubs, just 2 serious supermarkets and one multi storey shopping mall.

When to visit

The best time to visit Zengcheng is in June and July when the lychees are ripe and dripping with juice.

Places to visit

Lycheng - Is the central area of the city of Zengcheng.

Xintang - The economomic city of the Zengcheng area. A huge electrical industry is growing in Xintang because the Xintang city government is offering the best regulations to the factories. Because of the superiority, more and more companies have built new factories in Xintang.

Travel to Guangzhou/North and East

Travel on a Bus in Guangzhou/North and East

Buses run from Guangzhou to Zengcheng from around 07:00 to 21:00. There are several routes (including the 637 and 638 - others are not numbered) departing from different places in Guangzhou. A good place to get a bus is from Tianhe bus station. You can catch a bus from a mini bus station at the front of the main one or cross the road and catch one of many routes. A one way ticket costs from 16 yuan from Tianhe, and the journey takes about 1 hour 45 minutes from the Liuhua bus station opposite the main train station, or about 1 hour 20 minutes from Tianhe bus station.

How to get around in Guangzhou/North and East

Zengcheng has an efficient bus service. Most bus stops have a map showing the routes, but the routes on the city map are completely wrong (2022).

If you want to go to the villages you will have to take a local bus. But you need a local guide who can can take you there. Wednesday ended up in the back of a small truck, sitting on plastic chairs from our host's home. Pretty dangerous.

What to see in Guangzhou/North and East

  • Memorial of the Huangpu Military Academy - 黄埔军校旧址 The original Military Academy was founded in 1924 by Sunday Yat-sen, with support from the Chinese Party and the Soviet Union. The mission of the Academy was to create an officer corps for the new Chinese Republic. Many famous Chinese war heroes were trained here. The original site was destroyed by the Japanese in 1938. Two exhibition halls on the Campus of the Academy cover the History of the Academy with English translations. Unfortunately the other exhibition halls, such as Heroes of the Academy, do not have English translations. The site is far from the downtown.
  • Baishuizhai - 白水寨 | A high waterfall. Thit is a pleasant spot to visit set in pleasant surroundings not far from the city. The waterfall is no giant but is claimed to be the highest in mainland China: it is best appreciated from a short distance away. If you enter the park, entrance about 70 yuan and the entire pathway to the mountain summit above the waterfall has been developed. In the lower reaches it is a plankway, some on swinging chains, often crossing the cascade. After that, it is what appear to be granite steps. The park claims there are 9999 steps. For the less strong there is a bus service for ¥20 yuan. If you are walking you should allow maybe 5 hours for the return trip from the entrance. There are unnumbered buses from Zengcheng to the park and the trip takes a little over an hour.
  • Yuanxuan Taoist Temple 圆玄道观 | It includes three Taoist buildings in one complex: Sanqing Hall, Taihe Hall and Yuanchen Hall. Sanqing Hall is the most architecturally important of the three structures, while Yuanxuan Taoist Temple has carvings of divine beings. The central hall is covered by yellow glazed tiles and decorated with the bright images of Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing and the three authoritative deities in Taoism.
  • Former Residence of Hong Xiuquan - 洪秀全故居 Hóngxiùquán gùjū | The former home of the quasi-Christian leader of the Taiping Rebellion that resulted in the death of about 20 million people during the late Qing dynasty. Shortly after failing the imperial examinations on multiple occasions, Hong Xiuquan became delusional and claimed to have received visions in his dreams that he was the younger brother of Isa ibn Maryam destined to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Nanjing as its capital.

Parks

  • Gualuyuan Park | Famous for its grand momma of lychee trees, it is also a center for shopping, eating, and recreation.

Guangzhou yuntai - Yuntai Garden

  • Yuntai Garden - 云台花园 Yún-tái-huā-yuán| Situated at the foot of Baiyun (White Cloud) Mountain and is famous for its wide variety of rare flowers and trees. There are also seasonal exhibits (additional admission).
  • Huadu Plaza - 花都广场 huā-dū-guǎng-chǎng | A park-cum-recreation square located in the north part the city and near the government office buildings of Huadu District (花都区). The square incorporates, among other attractions, an outdoor theater, large fountain, outdoor dance area and statues. There is a large grass area that is similar to a Western style meadow and a subtropical forest and ornamental flower beds.
  • Baiyun Mountain (White Cloud Mountain) - 白云山 Bái-yún-shān - Is a great place to relax and enjoy a day among lush, rolling hills. It also offers great views over the city. The road to the top in most of the daytime is restricted to park trams and pedestrians. To get to the top lookout point, you can use the primary streets or trails. There are many places to rest and refreshments are available along the way. It is a great place to see people enjoying nature and playing games, such as shuttlecock, badminton, football and even bungee jumping. There are many bus routes to and from different parts of the city, as well as taxis usually available near the park gate.
