Guangzhou (Canton) China including Temple of the Six Banyan Trees

Visit mainland China for the day from Hong Kong and see some of China's iconic sights. You'll meet an adorable panda at a safari park, see an amazing display of Qin Dynasty Terracotta Warriors and their horses, and tour the city of Guangzhou, formerly known as Canton.

Your full-day trip to mainland China starts with a 50-minute catamaran ride and coach trip to Shekou Industrial Zone, China’s first Special Economic Zone. During weekdays, outside school holidays, you’ll visit a kindergarten, and then it’s on to a safari park to see the Chinese panda. If time permits, you’ll also visit a market to experience everyday life in China.

Your visit to the Exhibition Hall in Shekou is a must, for the display of Qin Dynasty Terracotta Warriors and Horses unearthed in Xian, acclaimed as the Eighth Wonder of the World. You’ll also see bronze wares more than 2000 years old, wall paintings, and porcelain and pottery from the Tang Dynasty also unearthed in Xian.

Your day trip continues to Guangzhou, one of the largest cities in southern China. After lunch at a local Chinese restaurant, you’ll take a city tour of Guangzhou, the political, economic and cultural heart of Guangdong province. Highlights include the Six Banyon Tree Temple and the Memorial Hall of Dr. Sun Yat Sen.

After visiting Guangzhou, you'll return to Hong Kong by express train to Kowloon Station and Hong Kong Island transfer.
