Guangzhou is a popular destination for visitors from across China, as well as for international holidaymakers and business representatives. A regional economic hub for the country and situated just to the north of Hong Kong, Guangzhou is a modern city famous for its unusual and stunning architecture in a range of different styles. The city’s top attractions include the bubble-like Opera House which is nicknamed locally the ‘double pebble’, and Guangdong Museum which is shaped like an ornately carved traditional wooden box.
Arriving in Guangzhou
Formerly known as Canton, Guangzhou is the third largest city in China and a major cultural and commercial centre for this growing economy. For over two millennia this hugely important city has been at the centre of trading in the region, and today is just as important on the global stage.
Book a flight to Guangzhou with Qatar Airways and you’ll discover a forward-focused city that still maintains its traditional values of courtesy, hard work and honour.
Surrounded by magnificent mountain ranges, its relatively remote location means that this remarkable city has developed a unique sense of identity and a very individual character. Its values are perhaps a little less conservative than other parts of China, and even its cuisine is distinctive, making it a fascinating destination for both business and leisure travellers.
Tourist attractions
One of the main landmarks in the city is Xiguan Residence, a perfectly preserved example of traditional Cantonese architectures from the late Qing Dynasty, and one home to the upper class residents of the city.
For a moment’s peace and tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of the main shopping area, rest a while in the stunning Yuexiu Park, the largest urban park in China with acres of beautifully manicured borders and wide open spaces.
In fact, this huge city is full of gardens and parks, including Yuntai Garden, situated at the base of Cloud Mountain and famous for its selection of rare plants and flowers.
The city is full of museums (note that most museums are closed on Mondays). One of the most important archaeological finds in China is the Mausoleum of the Nanyue King, with its thousands of jade tiles, while at the foot of Bayiun Mountain is the Guangzhou Sculpture Park, which displays work by some of the region’s best sculptors.
Travel considerations
Flights to Guangzhou with Qatar Airways land at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, second only to Hong Kong as an air transport hub for the region.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to Guangzhou please check the visa and passport requirements.

Modern, efficient and friendly, passengers flying from Tunis with Qatar Airways will find this spacious airport a pleasant departure point, with the emphasis placed firmly on delivering the best possible passenger experience. Staff are helpful and professional, and facilities are good.
Transportation and parking

Local bus 35 runs to and from the city and Tunis Marine train station, and takes approximately 30 minutes.
Look for yellow metred taxis, which are plentiful in the city and can also be pre-booked by your hotel concierge.
Avoid unofficial and unmetred taxis or taxi touts. Journey time by taxi from the city to the airport is approximately 20 minutes.
Airport parking is good, with 2,500 spaces available in the main parking area and a further 500 spaces outside Terminal 2.
Arriving in Tunis
Passengers flying from Tunis with Qatar Airways depart from the main terminal Departures area. The airport is popular with holidaymakers and can be particularly busy during peak tourist season.
Security has also been tightened considerably recently, so it is advisable to arrive at least two hours before your flight is due to depart to check in and clear security and customs checks.
Facilities and amenities
Free Wi-Fi is available in some restaurants on-site, and mobile phone hire is also on offer if you suddenly find your phone has a flat battery. As local currency has to be exchanged within Tunisia, you will find currency kiosks and ATM machines throughout the terminal – remember to convert your currency before you leave.
Duty Free shopping is available in the Departure lounge, as well as a selection of retail outlets selling accessories and luxury goods. A food court offers local delicacies, snacks, drinks and more substantial international cuisine and meals.
