Last Night at Canton Tower Metro: Nearly My Terminus!
-
Thanks for not coming. We Guangzhou locals are begging you to spare us.
-
I don't even dare to go anywhere near tourist attractions.
-
Tourist spots are crowded.
-
Go check out Haizhu Lake. It's free, and you can even go boating there.
-
What? Boating is free too? I didn't see that option last time I went.
-
Oh dear... to be honest, we locals find it super crowded too, and there's not much we can do. I don't want so many people coming to Guangzhou either. I also find it incredibly packed; the day before yesterday, I couldn't even get a taxi, and I couldn't squeeze onto the subway. Nobody wants this. Next time you come to Guangzhou, try to avoid public holidays, because it gets really, really crowded. Most people have limited time off from work or school, so everyone goes out during holidays. It's not like this every day; on weekdays, the streets are practically empty.
-
I'm in Guangzhou, and I feel like there are tons of people everywhere every day. But it's true, people from nearby cities could have a slightly better experience if they avoided public holidays.
-
Forget public holidays, even the daily commute is like that.
-
That's why I wouldn't even dare look for a job in that area. I had an interview there once and had to head back right at rush hour.
and guess what? Beijing actually had fewer people than Guangzhou!!
