We arrived in Guangzhou on Saturday, December 16th and our CCAI guide, Jocelyn, met us at the airport. We took a bus ride to the beautiful White Swan Hotel which is located on Shamian Island along the Pearl River. Shamian Island was a British settlement at one time and the architecture is more typical of England than China. Although Guangzhou is a huge city of 10 million people, the streets of Shamian Island are quaint, treelined and very pedestrian friendly. Unlike Nanchang, there are many gardens, parks and playgrounds throughout the island.
As we were told and it is evidently clear...this is one of the nicest and most western friendly hotels in China. The Hotel service, restaurants and shops are all very upscale and first class. In fact, many world leaders have stayed here including US Presidents.
Jocelyn tells us that this is the most popular time of the year for weddings and we have seen many couples having their wedding photos taken in the park areas.
