The Orchid Park (Lan pu) is a spectacular and unique sight in the summer months when there are over 100 different types of orchid on display here. In winter however, there is much less to see and it is hardly worth making the effort.

This cool and quiet garden is elegantly designed with winding paths, pools, pavilions and flower beds. It is a traditional Chinese style garden and is the perfect place to escape the smoggy streets of Guangzhou.

How to get there: Take taxi.
Costs: The entrance fee includes a pot of tea by the pool! RMB 8 or 20 depending on the type of tea selected.
Opening hours: 08:00-18:00
