JANVI TOURS

As a local Cantonese, I usually keep my eyes open for scenic spots in and around Guangzhou, especially places steeped in traditional culture. As the saying goes from the Analects, "How glad we are, to welcome friends from afar".

Described as "the most characteristic ancient village of the Lingnan waterside countryside", Xiaozhou Village will be developed into a thriving tourist resort. At a meeting held by the City Planning Committee of Guangzhou on 12^thAugust, the Plan on the Protection of the Xiaozhou Village Historical and Cultural Conservation Zone was adopted unanimously.

The Pearl River is where Guangzhou's scenic spots are. Praises to the beauty of the Pearl River have been 'Red Heart of the Pearl Sea' and 'Night Moon over the Goose Pool', selected in 1962 as of the Eight Sights of Guangzhou, plus the 'Sunlight Reflection at Shimen' of the old Eight Sights of Guangzhou and the recently selected 'Clear Waves of the Pearl River' of the Eight Sights of Guangzhou.

Huangpu Military Academy is located on Changzhou Island which is a small and peaceful island located in the Huangpu district, east Guangzhou. The western exit of the island is linked to Guangzhou University Town by a bridge. Many cultural relics and attractions including the Huangpu Custom's relics of the Qing Dynasty are situated there. As a natural island, beautiful green landscapes with ancient residences are everywhere. You can appreciate the passing fishing boats on the river.
