Had a three-day work event in Foshan and managed to squeeze in some sightseeing. The Ancestral Temple was beautiful but felt a bit rushed. The hotel's location was convenient, but the Wi-Fi was spotty and the air conditioning kept cutting out at night. For the price, I expected a more comfortable stay. Would come back for the ceramics and kung fu culture, but next time I'll pick a better hotel.
Guangdong blew my mind – I had zero expectations and it delivered on every level. From the neon chaos of Shamian Island to the calm of the Baiyun Mountain trails, there's so much variety. Rode the Guangzhou Metro like a pro after one day. The people are genuinely warm and helpful. Honestly, I’ve been recommending this province to everyone back home. Already planning a return trip for the Chaoshan food tour!
I booked a hotel in Shenzhen thinking it would be a quick business trip, but ended up loving the skyline! The architecture is so futuristic – got some amazing shots at the Ping An Finance Center at sunset. Service at the hotel was okay, but the room had a weird musty smell that lingered the whole stay. Also, the breakfast buffet was overpriced for what it was. Not terrible, but not the luxury experience I paid for.
Guangdong has some stunning natural spots, but honestly, the humidity in summer nearly killed my vibe. Hiked the Danxia Mountain red cliffs – the views were incredible, but I was drenched in sweat within 10 minutes. The public transport is decent, though I wish there were more English signs in the rural areas. If you can handle the heat, it's worth it. Just bring a fan and lots of water.
Spent a week exploring Guangdong and I'm still blown away by the food scene! The dim sum in Guangzhou was out of this world – especially the shrimp dumplings at a tiny hole-in-the-wall near Chen Clan Academy. Every street corner had something new to try, from salted egg yolk pastries to claypot rice. The locals were super friendly too, giving directions even when I butchered my Mandarin. Absolute must-visit for any foodie!
