Bing Shen dinner restaurant worth or not?

How do you navigate around? Also which hotel best?

Am going next 2 weeks.

but if compared with MY ones, probably MY ones more flavourful.
that said, the guangzhou student group that visited MY Sabah, most of them commented our food too flavourful (too salty, sweet, spicy, etc.)
so taking this into account, for the local probably best, but for our tastebud that is overloaded with aji, probably so so laugh.gif

海晏楼 also nice, cheaper but not so grand atmosphere, ate the flying fish here n gu lou yok (some pic coming up soon in the next thread, will tag u later)

the shunde cuisine was kinda unplanned..wanted to try the double skimmed milk n other shunde cuisine although not too familiar with them.
but i was too lazy to venture further out of GZ area, so never planned for it...but end up my friend drove us there for dinner since he lives in that city and work in GZ laugh.gif

this one very useful for map and calling taxi, but need HK/china number to register an account to save those locations for easy access. I used HK data-only eSIM number to registered an acc.

missed out the nav and hotel tongue.gif

primarily I do research with both google maps and Amap, but later moved all to Amap (everything is in chinese though). this need China/TW/HK number to register an acc, no way around it. I used a HK tourist data only eSIM phone number to register an acc, can receive sms just fine.
three.com.hk is cheap and reliable, I didn't had good experiences with Airalo on my beijing trip.

for hotel, if budget allows for it, garden hotel is nice, can check out my first thread for more info
but maybe it's a bit of distance from beijing road (~25 min from garden hotel using subway, change 1 line), so something close to beijing road would be better if you like to walk around the most vibrant district without taking any public transport

i also looked into white swan hotel but I felt it was a bit too western taste, wanted something a bit oriental laugh.gif

I felt maybe HK food taste slightly better (to MY taste bud), but also taking into account cost perf and variety, guangzhou win by far

not sure tbh, but guangzhou shenzhen, most of the vehicles are EV, car, bikes, bus, etc. so the air is actually very clean. I went to GZ just 2 weeks ago.

nice! if for tourism, don't forget to reserve for those famous attractions at least 1-2 days in advance..otherwise like me go there can see from outside, cannot masuk laugh.gif

local sim cheap but need sub VPN leceh.
first time I was in Beijing, I cannot connect to my self hosted Wireguard VPN on WiFi but when I was in Guangzhou time, somehow I never had any issue connecting to my Wireguard VPN for western site access. so this time I sub HK eSIM with china roaming for nearest traffic routing instead of Airalo route to SG

can check out my beijing log if need more info
