Guangzhou (once known as Canton) is the capital of Guangdong Province, China's third largest city, and one of the most prosperous cities in China.
Guangzhou doesn't have a major tourist draw unlike "tourist cities" in China (Xi'an has Terracotta Warriors, Guilin has scenery, Chengdu has pandas, etc.). Many foreigners only travel to Guangzhou for the Canton Fair, but Guangzhou is also worthy of a visit for tourism. There is a lot to recommend: tasty Cantonese food, unique Lingnan (Southern China) culture, legendary history, awesome super-modern skylines, the energy of booming development, and more.
Our Guangzhou tours will enable you to discover the old and new of traditional and prosperous Guangzhou city. We have also designed tours to nearby areas such as Kaiping, Foshan, Chaozhou and Shantou, etc. Each tour can be tailored to match your dates and interests.

Highly recommend Lele from Guilin China highlights
Guilin is absolutely breathtaking! The incredible views along the li river make those fantastical Chinese landscape paintings come to life. Walked around the rice terraces and rode a bike along the dragon river were unforgettable highlights. Our trip was made even better thanks to our guide, Lele from China highlights , who ensured everything went smoothly. Lele was helpful, professional, and provided just the right amount of insight about the area’s history and culture. more

Guilin with great Lili from China Highlights
Guilin is a very beautiful city. And our guide Lili from China Highlights made our visit much more enjoyable. She is a very smart and kind lady, who is always looking out for us. She even teached us painting!! She helped us with everything, and gave us very useful advices and suggestions. Lili is also a very good photographer!! Without asking her to do so, she was always taking beautiful pictures of us, and sent them to us. We really apreciatte her attitude toward us. And love the pictures she sent to us. We traveled with her to Yangzhou, and I am sure Yangzhou would not had been so beautiful without her. Thank you Lili!! more

Amazing Guilin
Our trip to Guilin with China Highlights was awesome. We did a boat trip on the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo as well as staying in Yangshuo and Xingping. The scenery was absolutely fantastic! There were limestone pillars everywhere and the people were so friendly. Our guide, William took us to all the best spots and gave us excellent historical and cultural information. He was always attentive and engaging with us. We sampled lots of delicious food as well as being introduced to local people - we even got some cooking lessons. Our hotels - Moondance (Yangshuo) and XingPing Island resort were friendly and welcoming family-style boutique hotels. Everything was so well organised we never had to worry about anything. (Thanks also to our CHL consultant, Chandler, who converted our original wish-list into an amazing itinerary). more
