“I love the authentic
Cantonese cuisine, the
cultural shows and the
historic attractions. Plus,
the industrial vibe that
defines Guangzhou is
electric!”
Adventurous eaters must try Yumiku
(Lishuitingyuan, 99 Jiangli Rd). Its menu
changes every day, but the people there
are ready to recommend dishes that
will suit your taste.
Communication
could be very difficult in Guangzhou.
Bring a “photo dictionary” so you can
just point to whatever you need.
Enjoying dinner while on the Pearl River
Cruise is too beautiful for words. It’s a
must for me.
