2 Days In Guangzhou: A Taste Of Cantonese Culture

GUANGZHOU, China (AP) — The southern Chinese city of Guangzhou offers all the hustle, bustle, culture and commerce of other major Asian metropolises minus the massive tourist crowds. Pick up a traditional mooncake filled with lotus seed paste at Lianxiang Lou or try the delectable dim sum at the popular Guangzhou Restaurant. Just off the main strip are side streets brimming with tasty food stalls and bustling markets selling fresh produce and traditional remedies such as live scorpions and dried snakes. At 1,968 feet (600 meters), the modern monolith offers panoramic views of the cityscape and winding Pearl River. Pick up a milk tea from one of the trendy cafes and peruse the small shops of artsy handicrafts, clothing, books and accessories. If you can overcome the language barrier, taxis are affordable and abundant in Guangzhou. Keep in mind the Chinese government blocks thousands of websites including Facebook and Google.
