The bustling urban charm and charming tropical scenery

China's Lingnan Pearl focuses on Guangzhou, Guilin and Sanya, which is the essence of southern customs. The "Little Waist" TV tower in Guangzhou points straight to the sky, the scenery of the Li River in Guilin is unparalleled, and the blue sea and silver sand in Yalong Bay, Sanya intoxicates the heart. Here, there is both the prosperity of a millennium old commercial capital and the romance of a tropical seaside.

From the brick carvings and woodcuts of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall in Guangzhou to the natural wonders of Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin, from the sea oath mountain alliance at the ends of the earth in Sanya to the exotic charm of Yangshuo West Street, every place shines with the unique light of Lingnan culture. The melodious singing of Cantonese opera, the exquisite Dim sum of morning tea, and the brocade technique of the Li nationality add more regional characteristics.

The exclusive itinerary designed by us can not only climb the Guangzhou Tower to overlook the the Pearl River New City, but also take a bamboo raft to roam the Lijiang River; You can not only taste Guangzhou Dim sum and Chaoshan beef hotpot, but also dive to explore coral reefs in Sanya. Every visit is a perfect interpretation of 'eating in Guangzhou, scenery in Guilin, and playing in Sanya'.

In Lingnan, China, the five cities are like shining stars.

The five cities work together to present a southern feast that interweaves tradition and modernity.
