I specifically chose Hai Jun Hotel Guangzhou - Bei Jing Road Pedestrian Street when I came to Guangzhou this time. The core feeling is that by choosing the right location, the transportation and dining efficiency of the entire trip can be doubled, and there is no need to waste time in taxi and traffic jams.
The hotel is located at 299 Yanjiang Middle Road, Yuexiu District. You can walk 460 meters to Tuanyi Grand Plaza subway station and 560 meters to Beijing Road subway station. Take Line 6 and transfer to Line 2, and within half an hour, you can cover core hubs such as Guangzhou East Station and Haizhu Square. The entire journey to Pazhou International Convention and Exhibition Center is 6 kilometers long, whether by subway or taxi, it can be reached in just over 20 minutes, completely avoiding the congested sections of the old city during morning and evening rush hours. Self driving friends are more worry free. The hotel comes with a free private parking lot, so you don't have to find expensive parking spaces in the Yanjiang Road commercial district. Compared to the nearby parking fee of 16 yuan/hour, staying for two nights can save you 200 yuan just by parking.
The density of the core landmarks that can be reached on foot is higher than expected: 370 meters away from home is the Tianzi Pier for the Pearl River Night Tour, which is a classic starting point for the Pearl River Night Tour in Guangzhou. After dinner in the evening, you can walk slowly past, just in time to board the ship, so you don't need to take a taxi half an hour in advance; 290 meters away is the Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, where you can take a turn downstairs from the hotel and immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of Laoguang. You can stroll along the millennium old road, enjoy authentic sugar water and jelly pot, and walk back to the hotel late at night without worrying about not getting a taxi.
The surrounding cultural attractions are almost all within walking or short distance: 450 meters is the Guangzhou Kowloon Railway Memorial Park, 530 meters is the former site of the All China Federation of Trade Unions, and you can check in within a ten minute walk; 1.5 km to Sacred Heart Cathedral, 2.8 km to the tomb of King Wen of South Vietnam, and about 3 km to Shamian Island and Chen Ancestral Temple. I don't want to walk and sweep a shared bike, but slowly ride along the greenway near the the Pearl River. You can reach the next scenic spot with the river scenery blowing all the way, which is more comfortable than watching the traffic jam in the car.
What's even more considerate is that the location of Hai Jun Hotel Guangzhou - Bei Jing Road Pedestrian Street is just a quiet spot amidst the hustle and bustle of the old city's core area. Just a few steps away from the bustling commercial district and river view trail, closing the door can avoid the noise of pedestrian traffic along the street. Whether you come for tourism and want to explore all the attractions in the old city area, or for business trips to Pazhou and connect with urban customers, this transportation point can compress your travel time to the shortest possible time, without wasting extra energy on commuting, leaving more time for sightseeing, eating, and business.Show more
