Traveler reviews
Rob Nesbit
★★★★★4 months agoOr also known as Yunluo Botanical Garden Another excellent park and garden in Guangzhou. The locals are blessed with so many great green areas of the city to relax in for the day. Very spacious - can easily spend the whole day here. Flowers, beautiful tree and calming lakes - as far as the eye can see. Also have elevated viewing spots from above where you can walk amongst the trees and get good views of both the garden itself and also of the city in the faraway distance. Places to grab a coffee and/or a bit to eat. Was cool to see the orchards on display. A very good day. Recommended when in Guangzhou.

★★★★★9 months agoYuntai Garden is a stunning oasis in the heart of Guangzhou, next to the famous Baiyun Mountain. The garden is beautifully designed with colorful flowers, sculptures, serene lake, fountain, rose garden, and Guangzhou’s city cities symbols sculptures. The gardens are very well maintained and every corner feels like a postcard scene. The admission is 20 yuan. Highly recommended for everyone visiting Guangzhou-a must see attractions all year round.
