🍂 About This Walk

Autumn is one of Guangzhou’s most beautiful seasons, and the Chrysanthemum Festival at Culture Park is among its most charming traditions.
This year is the 66th exhibition, featuring hundreds of chrysanthemums in artistic arrangements — perfect for relaxed walking, photography, and enjoying the seasonal atmosphere.

We’ll also explore the deeper story behind the area:

Culture Park sits on part of the historical Thirteen Hongs, Guangzhou’s iconic Qing-dynasty trading district. This is where the city’s early global trade began, and the foundations of the Canton Fair were formed.
Inside the park, the small Thirteen Hongs Museum showcases artifacts and illustrations from that era.
