Touring Hong Kong's Border Cities in China
 
Guangzhou (Canton) Tour
 
Cantonese-speaking people originally came from Guangdong province. Today, its capital, Guangzhou, is one of the most important industrial and trading centres in southern China. There is a speedy and efficient expressway as well as rail links between Guangzhou and Hong Kong.

The Guangzhou Tour normally includes attractions in Shekou, Shenzhen or Lotus Mountain in Panyu in the morning. The tour continues with stops in Guangzhou after lunch.

Shekou/Shenzhen and Guangzhou Tour
Take in Shekou's sights by tour bus or ferry, including a kindergarten (school days only), local free-trade market and exhibition centre of terracotta warriors and horses. The tour continues to Guangzhou for lunch and a visit to its cultural and heritage highlights, including Dr Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Chen Clan's Ancestral Hall and Six Banyan Temple. Return to Hong Kong by tour bus or train in the late afternoon/early evening.

Lotus Mountain and Guangzhou Tour
Take a fast catamaran ride to Panyu. Visit Lotus Mountain, an old quarry site renowed for its natural scenery. An hour's walk around the mountain offers views of interesting cliff and rock formations, and a view of one of China's tallest outdoor Kwan Yin (Goddess of Compassion) statues. The tour continues to Guangzhou to visit its cultural and heritage highlights, including a Buddhist temple, Dr Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and Chen Clan's Ancestral Hall (a fine example of Qing architecture). Return to Hong Kong in the late afternoon/early evening.
