One&One International Hotel Apartment occupies the first floor of the Jiedeng Duhui building at 70 Zhongshan 5th Road in the Yuexiu district. From the desk to the entrance of Gongyuanqian station is about two minutes, and the walk to the pedestrian Beijing Road, one of the most crowded in Guangzhou, takes a few minutes more. There are 83 rooms, and in size they are noticeably more generous than in ordinary city hotels of this category: from 26 to 45 m². Some rooms with panoramic windows look out on night-time Guangzhou, and one category has a mini cinema room. The hotel is chosen for two to four nights in the centre, when you want to walk out to dinner, to the pedestrian street and to Yuexiu Park without spending time on taxis. Guests also note the free buffet breakfast, the fast Wi-Fi and the shared laundry where the staff help with washing.
Yuexiu: Guangzhou’s old centre on foot
The Yuexiu district is the historic centre of Guangzhou, and everything tourists look for in the city is within a few stops. Gongyuanqian station is an interchange of two metro lines, so you can reach the station, the Canton Tower and the Tianhe district without a taxi. On foot from the hotel people go to Beijing Road, where under glass in the pavement you can see layers of old road surfaces from different eras. Nearby are Yuexiu Park with its lakes and hills, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Dafo Temple and the “Comics and Animation” centre. The Nanyue Museum with the tomb of the Nanyue king is also a few metro stops away.
- Gongyuanqian station — two minutes’ walk, two metro lines.
- Beijing Road — a pedestrian shopping street.
- Yuexiu Park — a walk among lakes and hills.
- The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall — the city’s main monument of the 20th century.
Tip for travellers: Guangzhou is humid, and the most pleasant months for walks are October to December. In the evening Beijing Road is crowded, so it is better to dine before seven or look for small cafés on the side streets. The hotel entrance is on the first floor of the building, so look for the marker on the map.
