About
The Guangzhou Museum sits in Yuexiu Park, in the Yuexiu District of Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province in southern China. Its address is Yuexiu Park, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510055. Locals and visitors also know it by its Chinese name, 广州博物馆.
The museum is housed in the historic Zhenhai Tower, so the building itself is part of the visit. Its galleries chronicle the city's history and cultural development across roughly 2,000 years, giving a visitor a clear sense of how Guangzhou grew from an ancient settlement into the modern metropolis it is today.
What to expect
- A historical narrative of Guangzhou, told in chronological order
- Displays on the city's cultural development over its long past
- The architecture of Zhenhai Tower, a historic building in its own right
Making a day of it
Because the museum stands inside Yuexiu Park, it pairs naturally with a walk through the park's grounds before or after your visit. The setting gives the museum a calm, green surrounding that many city museums lack. Yuexiu District is one of the older parts of Guangzhou, so exploring the streets nearby can extend the historical theme of your day.
