Guangzhou: WTF Pitfalls to Sidestep!
-
It might be because we were acting like typical tourists and the subway was super crowded, so our overall experience was just okay.
-
Is the Canton Tower crowded now?
-
It's always packed during holidays, especially in the evening. If you want to go up, you'll probably have to queue for a bit.
-
Can you recommend a hotel to stay at?
-
Hey, the hotel we stayed at was in the Tianhe District area. It was a bit out of the way, and I thought the ambiance was just okay. However, it was right above a commercial area and only 300 meters from the subway station.
-
The buildings on Shamian Island date back to the late Qing Dynasty.
-
Oh! I was hoping to see architecture from the Republic of China era; I thought those buildings were from that period.
-
I think the durian desserts at Lan Fong Yuen are delicious. Not every dessert shop offers durian options, you know.
-
Oh, I see~
-
All I can say is, thank goodness we didn't queue for Min Ji... We waited half an hour, and the food was honestly just average.
-
I went to another place the next day, and it was decent, but definitely not worth waiting half an hour for.
-
I genuinely don't get why every restaurant around Beijing Road, good or bad, has a queue at meal times. Yesterday, I went to a Hunan restaurant, and you could tell right away the food was pre-made. The stir-fried beef was cooked medium and then slow-stewed – in Hunan, they'd practically string you up for that! And the crazy part is, even a place like this had a line...
-
Seriously... it's unbelievably crowded.

Is the Canton Tower crowded now?
