One of the most stylish and lively cities to grace China’s landscape, Guangzhou is an exciting area ripe for exploration. To fully soak in the spirit of the city, leisure and corporate visitors should consider service apartments in Guangzhou such as the suites offered at the Ascott Guangzhou. Featuring elegant interiors, a central location and the crème de la crème of Southeast Asian hospitality, these serviced apartments Guangzhou has to offer travellers are some of the finest in the city. Allow yourself to be transported to the world of movies and magic, with a visit to the famous Oriental Studious 2000, modelled after the popular Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. Featuring two movie sets that depict two different worlds, this theme park is a must-visit item on your Guangzhou itinerary. Lasting 15 minuts, these set shows will whisk you away into a world of cinematic wonder. Explore the world of China’s movies with a glimpse into Shanghai’s gangster era, captured through a variety of exciting stunts and live actors on wires as well as many movie tools such as springboards, falling facades and smoke and snow blowing equipment. The Shanghai show also boasts a line of chorus girls, gangsters, motorcycles and machine guns that will transport you back to the tough guy days of the 1930s. The second set is styled according to movies depicting China’s epic past, with lion soldiers who mimic battles whilst flying through the air in a dizzying display of acrobatic finesse. Although the shows aren’t in English, the sheer visual splendour more than makes up for it. When you’re exhausted by the action, the theme park grounds also features a Ferris wheel and lake, which offers boat rides for some welcome relaxation.
