Location & Accessibility

Haipang Village sits in the Panyu District of Guangzhou, just a 30-minute drive from Guangzhou South Railway Station. Tucked along the Pearl River Delta, it’s easy to reach by metro (Line 7 to Bainiqiao Station) followed by a short taxi ride, or via bus routes 310 or 303. If driving, GPS “Haipang Market” for the main entrance—there’s free parking near the village square.

Natural Charms

Haipang Village blends urban convenience with rural tranquility. The Haipang Wetland Park next door offers wooden boardwalks winding through mangroves and reed beds, perfect for birdwatching. At sunset, the river reflects orange hues, making it a top spot for photographers. Locals love cycling along the riverside paths, and you might spot families fishing or kids playing by the water.

Cultural Highlights

The heart of Haipang Village is its bustling Haipang Market, where vendors sell everything from fresh tropical fruits to handmade snacks like char siu bao (BBQ pork buns). Nearby, the Haipang Ancestral Hall showcases traditional Cantonese architecture with carved wooden doors and rooftop dragons. On weekends, the village hosts craft workshops where visitors can try lianhua (lotus) paper cutting—a local art form.

Practical Tips

  • Food: Don’t miss the jiangzhuo yong (rice noodle rolls) at the market’s Street 3 stall. For sweets, grab a coconut gelato from the corner shop.
  • Facilities: Clean restrooms and free Wi-Fi are available near the market. Rent a bike from the stand opposite Haipang Market for ¥20/hour.
  • Best Time: Visit on weekdays to avoid crowds, or come late Friday afternoon for live music by the river.

Immersive Experience

Wandering through Haipang Village feels like stepping into a slower-paced Cantonese life. Start your day with dim sum at the market, then take a boat ride (¥50/person) to see the river’s floating gardens. In the evening, join elders practicing tai chi under lanterns—a peaceful end to your trip. Whether you’re a foodie, nature lover, or culture buff, Haipang Village has something to surprise you!

Pro tip: Bring cash for small stalls and wear comfy shoes—there’s so much to explore in Haipang Village!
