    With the metro, just avoid weekday rush hours and the stations near tourist spots on weekends. Otherwise, it's usually fine.

      My advice to tourists visiting Guangzhou is to avoid the metro during these hours: 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, and 23:00. It's always pretty packed.

          Guangzhou's biggest issue is its metro system. I was there with my family in February. On a Saturday night at 10 PM at Yangji station, we waited for Line 1, and the trains were running every 8 minutes. We could barely squeeze on. For a major city to have 8-minute intervals during what felt like a busy evening hour... I was speechless.

            10 PM? That's already past the rush hour.

              I just got back. Sounds like you just didn't pick the right times or places. Why try to put others off?

                Sis, you're taking it too seriously. They might just be venting or posting for laughs. People who genuinely want to go will go anyway.

                  It's truly terrifying during the May Day holiday. The area around the Canton Tower and along the Pearl River is so packed with people you can barely even walk.

                    I'm planning to go during the October National Day holiday... Will it be as crowded as shown in the pictures above?

                      Coming to Guangzhou? I highly recommend taking Metro Line 3.

                          Okay, I can understand the Canton Tower being crowded, but why on earth is Guangzhou Zoo also packed?

                              Oh dear, I didn't listen to any advice... and I'm currently on my way to Guangzhou!

                                I'm going too! But I've heard from many people that it's not really worth it.

                                  Are there any pedestrian streets that are relatively less crowded?

                                    A pedestrian street with few people? Do you really think that would be any good?
