Today begins by visiting to Dr. Sun Yatsen's Memorial Hall in remembrance of Chinese revolutionist Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Continue to visit the Five-Ram Statue in Yuexiu Park, the Temple of Six Banyan Trees, the Qingping Market and the Shamian Island. (B+L)
Descriptions:
Dr. Sun Yatsen's Memorial Hall - Being one of the famous symbols of Guangzhou City, it is a grand octagonal building endowed with strong ethnic flavor. Between 1929 and 1931, Guangzhou citizens and overseas Chinese raised funds for its construction in memory of Dr. Sun Yatsen, the forerunner of the Chinese democratic revolution. Nowadays, many important public meetings and activities are held in it, such as the anniversary celebrations of Sun Yatsen, Guangzhou International group wedding ceremony and the performances celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Chairman Mao.
The Five-Ram Statue in Yuexiu Park - Being one of the most famous scenic sights in Guangzhou City, it is carved from 130 pieces of granite. There is a beautiful legend about it. Over 2,000 years ago, Guangzhou is a wasted land where people were suffering from famine. One day, five immortals rode five rams with wheat heads in their mouths. The wheat heads were left for Guangzhou People and from then on, Guangzhou has become a rich place. Come here and watch the Five-Ram Statue, you will be deeply moved by its lifelike and smooth lines.
The Temple of the Six Banyan Trees - Located in Liurong Road, it is an ancient temple well known at home and abroad. There are many cultural heritages in the temple. In history, many celebrities have left their footprint here. Su Dongpo, a famous writer in Northern Song Dynasty (960 - 1127), once wrote an inscription for the temple. The serene and religious atmosphere in it may bring purification to every soul.
The Qingping Market - Located at the intersection of Qingping Road and Tiyun Road, it attracts visitors from home and abroad for its super collection of agricultural and sideline products and Chinese medicinal materials. Visitors can find over 600 kinds of meat and poultry product, dried fruits and seafood, and flowers and birds - all are available in this street.
The Shamian Island - Located in the Bai'e Pool in the fork of the Zhujiang River, it has a different atmosphere and the tempo of life compared to other places in Guangzhou City. There are about 150 buildings of European styles. Like most small towns in Europe, visitors can find many restaurants, cafes, and bars on the roadsides. It is regarded as the most exotic place in Guangzhou.Day 03Departure from Guangzhou

My family plans to visit Guangzhou middle of next month for 4 days. Which are places of interest should we visit and which eating places would you recommend? As we'll be travelling on our own, which hotel would you recommend for it's convenient location (easy access to public transport) and reasonable room rate? As there are 5 of us, would it be better to take taxi (can it take 5 persons?) or public transport for short distance? Thank you.

There aren't many places to visit in Guangzhou. YOu may consider Yuexiu Park, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Temple of the Six Banyan Trees, the Pearl River... The hotel price in Guangzhou is comparatively high, especially the ones in downtown area with convenient transportation. The best way out is the taxi, but it cannot accommodate 5 people. Perhaps you need to take two.

I was just back from Guangzhou. Before I left, I got useful info from this website so I would like to contribute my info back.
Ying Deng Restaurant at Guangzhou Hotel is highly recommended for its high quality dessert. The delicacies and the fresh ingredients that they prepare is yum. The only disadvantage is that you may need to wait around 20 munites for your food after ording. But it deserves in my opinion.
Ren Xin dessert stall along Beijing Lu sells different kinds of local desserts like almond, seseme paste, etc, which is their winning point but the dining environment is really unpleasant, so I suggest you take away the dessert then eat in your hotel room or any other pleasant places.
If clean toilets are important to you, I suggest you visit Mcdonalds and KFC toilets. Even the toilets in respectable shopping centres are some kind of uncomfortable. Bring your own toilet paper and be prepared for long queues cos there are no more than 3 cubicles usually.
