1 Star Hotels in Guangzhou

If you’re backpacking or on a budget, Guangzhou is an exciting fast-paced city that serves up a wonderfully condensed version of China and many things to do even if you’re on a tight budget.

Best 1 Star Places to Stay in Guangzhou

Head south of the Pearl River to the Haizhu district to be near Sun Yat-Sen University, a tranquil campus with quiet walkways and lawns to sit out on and enjoy the atmosphere. There are several one-star places to stay in Haizhu and across the river between the districts of Tianhe and Yuexiu, often near to line 3 subway stations.

Experience Guangzhou Free

From your one-star accommodation in Guangzhou, you can have any number of experiences that will cost nothing at all.

In Yuexiu, you could explore the sprawling Yuexiu Park and its Five Ram Statue, or seek out the ancient Chinese artefacts in the Guangzhou Museum in the park’s Zhanhai Tower.

You could spend a day on Baiyun Mountain and not spend a thing, wandering along trails or enjoying the views on the way to the spectacular look-out spot at the top. It’s a wonderful place to escape to, away from all the hustle and bustle of China’s third largest city.

For more tranquillity, plot your way around Guangzhou’s religious sites. Many of the Buddhist temples have little or no entrance fee, but will give you a good understanding of the Chinese culture. Head for the 17th-century Hualin Temple in one of Guangzhou’s oldest neighbourhoods, Xiguan, to see the 500 golden arhat statues. Then go to the 900-year-old Renwei Temple to see the people of Pantang village go about their daily worship.

Food Adventures on a Budget in Guangzhou

You could spend hours mooching around the fascinating wholesale markets of Yide Road and Baima. Or make your way to the street-food Meccas of Shangxiajiu Commercial pedestrian street for some top-notch dim sum. Another way to experience Guangzhou’s cuisine is to book yourself on to food tour, which will take you to places you not otherwise find and all the food is included in the tour price.
