Huacheng Square, Linjiang Avenue, Zhujiang East Road
The new bank to the east: Canton Tower and the opera house on the river square. People come for the height and the lights.
Why go
Evening, when the tower is lit. By day the square is empty and hot.
Where to stay
Stay if an evening by the river matters more than a morning in the temples. Yuexiu needs a ride.

The tower and the opera face each other across the square, so one walk covers both, and the whole tower is seen better from the far bank, on the older promenade. The lights come on toward evening, and that is what people come for.
