An honest first stay can be two or three days: yum cha and the old city, Shamian and the river, and a museum or a careful Shenzhen connection on 12306. This is a shape, not a timed diary.

The short version
A first two or three days can be: the old city and a morning tea, a river and Shamian walk, and either a museum or a careful side trip. This is a shape, not a diary.
Day 1 — Yuexiu and morning tea
Arrive, register, and have yum cha as a late breakfast if you can land in time — dish types from a house with a posted menu, not a venue we have named. Walk a central stretch of the old city (Beijing Road is a public commercial street; Yuexiu Park is a public park — confirm park hours on the official page). Do not add a long museum to a travel-in day.
Day 2 — Shamian and the river
Shamian Island is a walkable historic concession area. Pair it with a stretch of the Pearl River promenade. A formal Cantonese dinner of roast meats or white-cut chicken is enough; you do not need a banquet.
Day 3 — one more thing, or Shenzhen
A major official museum or Chen Clan Academy (a real official site — confirm hours and tickets on its page) is a morning. Or take a 12306 train to Shenzhen and spend the afternoon there, only with a margin, and only if your entry rule allows you to move as planned. See Shenzhen to Guangzhou for the rail relationship, written from the other end.
자주 묻는 질문
Is two days enough?
It is enough for this shape. It is not the whole city.
Can I pair it with Shenzhen?
Yes, on 12306, with a margin, and only if your entry rule allows the move you planned.
