In TianHe guang chang ( TianHe square) you can see a Bing Guan that serve excellent Dim Sum, about the best I know even compared to HK.

It is a Bing Guang that used to serve only the Army personnel.
广东新天河宾馆是一家涉外宾馆。地处广州市最繁华的商业金融中心天河路中段,与天河城商业广场、天河体育中心、广州购书中心仅一路之隔。东临地铁站口,西临环市东路立交桥通达全市。目前有20多路交通车停靠,交通极为便捷。天河城、体育中心、天河购书中心 (many great photographic books, cheap!)
Right next to it is the Tian He shopping center. On the top of the building is a fantastic toy section.
There are many photographic opportunities near the Zhu Jiang area :

I visit GuangZou very very often. But sorry, not this time.
One more thing to note about the Guang Zhou Train Station:
This place is notorious for crime. I would avoid the place if possible. The most daring criminals would assemble in GuanZhou.
Not to be a racist, be very careful about those from Xin Jiang.
