Rising above Guangzhou’s dynamic skyline, Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou offers a prime perch to explore the city’s cultural layers—especially during the Canton Fair.
Beyond the exhibition halls lies a city rich with heritage, from the calm flow of the Pearl River to the storied alleys of Xiguan and the arcade-lined streets steeped in tradition.
In the Central Business District, modernity meets heritage. Canton Tower lights up the city as a beacon of innovation, while nearby landmarks like the Guangzhou Opera House and Guangdong Museum celebrate bold design and Lingnan history.


Across the river, green spaces like Haixinsha Island and Huacheng Square offer a peaceful contrast to the city buzz.
Shamian Island, just across a narrow bridge, feels frozen in time. This historic quarter—once a hub for foreign traders—offers European-style buildings, ancient banyans, and a tranquil charm.
Locals practice Tai Chi at dawn, while photographers capture the quiet beauty of a neighbourhood that whispers of the past. Nearby, the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall showcases intricate Lingnan artistry and now houses the Guangdong Folk Art Museum—a living tribute to regional craftsmanship.


A short stroll leads to Yongqing Fang, a creative enclave where heritage is reinvented. Historic arcade buildings now house indie boutiques, design studios, and galleries. Visitors can sip local coffee by the canal, drift past the Cantonese Opera Art Museum on a boat ride, or explore art-filled corners that reflect Guangzhou’s evolving identity.
During the Canton Fair, Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou offers a seamless experience with complimentary venue shuttle service, buyer registration support, and assistance with essentials like SIM cards and travel apps.
Multilingual concierge services and 24-hour currency exchange ensure guests can focus on business, culture, and relaxation—all wrapped in the signature warmth of Four Seasons hospitality.
