Guided by the concept of "Travel with the National Games in Nanhai," Guicheng Sub-district in Nanhai District aims to blend international flair, modern trends, and Lingnan cultural heritage to create an immersive, high-impact cultural tourism experience in Foshan's urban core.
No need to travel far—visitors to Guicheng can experience the vibrancy and diversity of Foshan, one of China's trillion-yuan economy cities.
Officials announced a lineup of trendsetting events with appeal to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, further positioning Guicheng as a rising hub for youth-oriented performing arts.

Meanwhile, the "Diejiao Dragon Boat Drift – Youth Study Camp," the National Day Dragon Boat Cultural Camp, and nighttime kayaking on Qiandeng Lake will further enhance Guicheng's growing lineup of water-based experiences.
