Located inside a Chinese medical university (广州中医药大学), the Guangdong Chinese Medicine Museum (广州中医药博物館) was a fascinating building to explore. The attraction had with many medical relics and specimens to discover. It also has an outdoor Chinese herbal medicine plantation park. Walking through the park was an educational experience.

A 650 years plus old village built alongside a river, Xiaozhoucun (小洲村) is picturesque and relaxing. If you want to fully experience the village, I recommend going on a weekend. We went on a weekday and most of the shops were closed. There were many artsy shops that I would visit if they were open.
