The "Floating Market in the Forest of Guangzhou" or "Floating Market by the Waterfall of Guangzhou" that you mentioned is an interesting and unique tourist attraction in Nong Ya Plong District, Phetchaburi Province. It is not located in Guangzhou, China. (The name could be misleading.)

This market is considered the first and only floating market on a waterfall in the world. Its highlight is the shaded atmosphere in the middle of the forest next to an artificial waterfall, created by royal decree. A relaxation area and a dining area are located on a bamboo raft at the base of the waterfall. Opening hours: Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays only, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Recent research suggests the market is open 24 hours on Saturdays and Sundays, but the actual opening hours are from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.)

Entrance fee: Approximately 25 Baht per person (the fee goes towards scholarships for students from the community).

Things to do and see at the market:

Unique atmosphere and packaging: This market emphasizes the use of natural containers, such as bamboo cylinders, for food and drinks. The aim is to reduce plastic consumption.

Local food and products: Local dishes and hard-to-find desserts are offered, such as bamboo steamed fish curry, wild coffee, Hmong Pad Thai, bamboo Som Tam and Khanom Mo Kaeng (Thai steamed coconut pudding).

Bamboo raft ride and fish spa: Relax with your feet dangling and let the fish pamper you. (Some sources state that the ride is free.)

Air-conditioned bamboo tunnel: At the market entrance there is a bamboo tunnel that provides a cool breeze.

Boat trips: Pedal boats can be rented to enjoy the natural beauty of the river.

Swimming: There are places where you can swim freely.

Purchasing food: You can buy food from vendors on land and then enjoy it on a raft by the waterfall. Alternatively, you can order food from vendors who will row directly to your raft.
