Guang Zhou is a very nice places to visit. Back packer are advise to be more carefull because crime rate there is quite high. For who ever who is going, please do it 1 month before or after the Olympic, because normally you wont have room that time anymore, and also thier 10 days labour day off May1-10, dont go during that time the airasia time dont simply book ya

which hotel is best recommend cheap n clean???

i'm planning to go to guangzhou this june.any1 can tell me nice place to visit?how about weather there?tq

airasia?

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=644359

go to the safari.... ~RM75 - very worth it
totally smoked taronga zoo (AUS) and any zoo in msia... (in my opinion)

Ya anyone been to guangzhou b4??
I heard bout the shopping there.
Anyone got any pics to show pls??

I will be going there in early Dec.. Via backpacking style form Macau > Zhuhai >Shenzhen >Hong Kong > Macau

It's good to plan longer period to Pearl river delta (Those cities above) rather than staying at Guanzhou alone...From my research, Guanzhou hv reasonable attractions which actually better than Hong Kong/Macau/Zhuhai/Shenzhen..such as few ancient temples, Sun Yat Sen memorial, Baiyuan mountain & the outskirt include Foo Shan (Wong Fei Hong birth place) & Dongguan (Largest mall in the world -well empty?)...probably more photos by visiting virtualTourist.com

woah. backpacker. Thanks=> will check it out cz planning to go too!

I just came back from China and I stayed in 2 hotels during my stop in GZ for 4 days 3 nights.

Five Rams City Hotel (五羊城酒店)
screw it..one of the worst hotel..it feels like those Jalan Pudu motel..prostitutes walking around..and they freaking shut down the centralised aircon just because the weather has turned cool a little..and it was still freaking 25-28 degree...and there's also offices IN the hotel..right infront of my room it was a freaking optical products supplier office..

Furama Hotel (富丽华酒店)
3 star as stated in their website, much better than Five Rams. Decent room...

There's not many interesting place you can go really, for petaling street style shopping there's 2 places you can go.

Shang Xia Jiu Lu (上下九路)
(I'm not the blogger, just that I thought its good coz he has some good pictures and its great that he posted public transport route guide..)
Plenty of shops..cheap cloths and shoes..you can even get a pair of shoes as cheap as RMB19..that's about 10 bucks here. Just browse around there's also a row of shops selling cheap jade jewelry. RMB10 for any set of jewelry...

This is also where I tried my first fried scorpion and fried worm. If you are at the center of Shang Xia Jiu Lu, you may spot a lorong full of food stalls (with a big signboard)..not super delicious but they sells pretty interesting chinese food which we don't see in Malaysia..

Beijing Lu (北京路)
similar to Shang Xia Jiu Lu but sells higher class stuff..you can see MANY sports shops in China..there's a 3 storey Yishion outlet in Beijing Lu as well..
http://www.edwinwang.com/Beijing-Lu-Road-Guangzhou.shtml

Next, for tourist spots
Pearl Delta River (珠江)
there's night river cruise service there, good to take picture but you get pretty bored after awhile..

Bai Yun Shan (白云山)
not much comment

Yuexiu Park (越秀公园)
Dull and boring, just a place with a 5 ram statue to take picture.

Anyang Yin Xu (安阳殷墟博物苑)
A must visit but I missed it. Its known as the 100 greatest archeological discoveries of China. This is where they discover letters and symbols carved on bones and tortoise shells.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (中山纪念堂)
Dull and boring as well, I'm not too much of a memorial park person..

Chen Clan Temple/Museum/Academy (陈家祠)
Also known as 陈氏书院 which we have one in KL too but this one is WAY much bigger..a little boring..as usual...

In China there's plenty of tourist spots like memorial hall, or some famous icon's houses which are very similar to each other. Its not advisible to visit more than 2 as they can be very boring because they're very very similar..garden/house structures/pool..everywhere is the same..and of coz..they charges for admission too..

There's more places for you to visit but as I've always said..they're boring and most of them are not worth visiting..just google around..

The best thing about China is the food is cheap..and its season for hairy crab (大闸蟹). .not forgetting their McD grill chicken burger, don't quite remember the english name for it but its really awesome!

good luck!

thank you sharing

I was in Guangzhou 'bout 1-2 years back; food's relatively cheap 'cause of the exchange rate. Dollar-to-dollar; it's 'bout the same price or slightly cheaper as our food. The real highlight of Guangzhou I feel; is the food, food and food. Oh right; shopping things are really cheap there as well. I bought a decent loafers for RMB30. Lasted me 6 months only though.

Nothing really much to do in Guangzhou. I visited the botanical garden where they make sculptures out of trees and plants. I think that was really the highlight of Guangzhou as there's nothing really much else there. Most of our time there was spent in touring the other cities like Shenzhen and some other ones whose name elude me now...

I think the zoo in Guangzhou is one of their real attractions. They spent alot of $$$ in doing it up; and it's very apparent. You can even take a train and go smack right through the animal enclosure; gives you the feel of a safari.

Just a rule of thumb though; most of the "tourist attractions" are commercialized and not worth the hype. Try to go for off-the-track ones. I visited a countryside sunflower farm; that was quite nice, but was spoilt by some stupid Chinese typical "commercialization" whereby they tried to turn it into a mini amusement park as well.

The river cruise is not bad; but nothing spectacular. Just lights on a river cruise and it's normally quite packed. The seafood restaurants next to the river though; are really nice. Plenty of interesting things there. Hermit crabs, silkworms, maggots, crocodile head. It's pricey by chinese standards; but affordable due to conversion rate. If you're feeling like splurging lar.

The food in Guangzhou is amazing though. Don't judge the price of a restaurant in China by their appearance. You'll be surprised that those aircond restaurants serve RMB10-15 dishes. And generally; the more packed the restaurant is by locals, the better the food.

Oh right; the weather there fluctuates; but generally it's cooler than in Malaysia lar. I went there during Spring if i'm not mistaken and the average temp was around the 20-24s. Just remember to drink lots of water and Vit Cs 'cause the air quality sucks shit. Viz on a good day is not more than 2kms. However; public transport is really good there. And their LRT system definitely beats ours to a pulp. You can take a bus everywhere. If in doubt however; take a cab. Cabs are cheap there; just make sure they use a meter. They generally do though. It's safer to take a cab than walk; in some places even, due to China mad driving styles. I saw a bus make a U turn from the middle of 4-lane road in the city.

Anyway; be careful with your belongings in Guangzhou and avoid deserted areas as petty crime is high and the police don't bother much.

Hi, has anyone been to Guangzhou and stayed in a reasonably affordable hotel? Are there any hotels which are less than RM100 per night? Or are there any packages where if you were to stay for more than 10 days, a promotional price will be given? Can Anyone help?

Lotsa hotels even at 3 star <RM100 there. no need book, can walk in & negotiate.

How long do you plan to stay exactly?

For really mid term stay (like more than one month) there are some special services where people "rent" their apartments for such occasion.
I had to use this in Shenzhen last year when I first arrive, hotel is too expensive for mid term and I personally preferred to have really my "own" place instead of an hotel room.

I am not sure for Guangzhou but I am pretty sure there is such service.

If less than a month, I don't think hotel will bother giving you anything else than maybe a small discount if you negotiate well.

Hi Stimix,
I will be using Macau> Zhuhai> Guangzhou > Changsha.

Will stay in macau one night, next day catch a bus to Guangzhou, from there connect to Changsha by train. Can you or anybody know how long from Macau to Guangzhou by using bus?? I m backpacking.

I actually taking the express bus from Zhuhai to Guangzhou. RMB 75/pax. The jopurney took me 2.5hrs due the jam after Pearl river delta bridge. If no jam probably 2hrs.

From Macau probably 2.5-3hrs depending on the jam too

my next trip to Guangzhou will be in April next year.
going for my yearly shopping trip.

Hey, me too~!! Any good hotel to recommend?

i usually stay at Jia Mei inn at Shang Jiu Lu.
they charge less than RM100 per night and the rooms are quite okay. but you have to ask to see the room before you choose the room. cause sometimes got very strong smoke smell. it's very convenient for me cause you just step out of the hotel and there is shopping left and right. food is all over the place so you wont get hungry also.

Anyone stayed in hostels in guangzhou.
Planning to stay in guangzhou for bout 10 days.
Any place is a must see or worth to go?
cruise? food?
have u travel to other places nearby guangzhou.

Tumpang~~

anyone knows how to go shanghai from guang zhou?...if lets say by flight any recomended tour agency?

Thanks!

By flight then take plane lor.
Try checking out different airlines for their domestic travel routes.

Any u fella going?

booking hotel thru the cantonfair website or via airasia packages?

Jus got back from GZ. Stayed in Home Inn Hotel Changshou Lu East.This is a chained group. Can booked thru Ctrip.com or elong.com which is cheaper. Got to prebooking otherwise the hotel is fully booked especially furing weekends or whenever GZ is having expo, exhibition or any other events.They have got free bradband in the room. Room & toilet very clean. Got food just outside the hotel street. Walking distance to shangxiajiu pedestrain street. 15 min walk to Metro station. But remember not to choose room 206 if u r sensitive people smoking n they have window however facing a wall of a next building. Bad view.

Pearl delta river cruise must go.Fantastic view at night. just go to Tian zi pier. They schedule for departure.Take approx 1hr 30 min cruise. Just buy bottom deck @ RMB60 n can actually go to their upper deck to take picture. need not sit downstair.Good to have downstairs cos if it rains, u got place to hide.Upper open deck @ RMB70 - The differerence is only titbits .

Shopping area ShangXiaJiu, Beijing Lu (a bit more expensive),Yide lu (wholesale area for dried seafood & herbs)

Food - egg noodle (wan tan mee),dim sum (can go to Shang Xia Jiu - Tao Tao Ju Restaurant. Quite reasonable 4 person - 18 plates of dim sum cost us RMB154.There r 3 floors, therefore u must go all the floors to get yr food.Like buffet. Bring along d card they place on yr table, so tat each time u take food, they will stamp on it..cool ah), cheong fun, soups etc..just eat anything u can find on d street.

Just got back from GuangZhou yesterday morning.
Spend almost RM1.5k on shopping alone.

Stayed at Home Inn Hotel on Shangjiu Lu. Was originally JiaMei Inn but now changed to Home Inn. Clean and comfortable rooms. Price was around RMB200+ for 2 beds room, can fit 4 person. Prices during expo period is at least double. A bit far from subways though. But shopper's paradise. It's located on ShangJiu Lu and just walk down to enjoy ShangXia Jiu Lu. Walking distance to Zhuang Yuan Fang, another shopping paradise, lots of small shops that you can bargain and product quality not bad as well.

We walked to HaiZhu Nan Lu for wholesale shopping and also Yi De Lu for dried seafood.
Further up Yi De Lu is Shoe City where all the wholesalers for women shoes are. But most of them don't sell one or two pairs. Have to get like at least 6 pairs to buy from them.

IMO, Tao Tao Ju is overrated.
I like the Cheong Fun & Porridge shop opposite Home Inn Hotel on ShangJiu Lu. Prawn cheong fun cost about RMB10 while porridge some cost RMB5 only. Oh and Pearl Milk Tea is very nice over there! There's also a shop selling Egg Tarts at ShangXia GuangChang. The egg tarts are veryyyyy delicious! I miss them already.

Story:





I would like anyone here to give me tips in China, especially Guangzhou and BaiYun Airport... Since it was my first time going there...

Thanks

Baiyun is a pretty new airport, and it will cost around 150 RMB to 200 RMB to take cab from airport to city. I don't know about other public transport rate, last time I went there was back in 2008.

2 hours and 15 minutes, you might spent 1 hour to retrieve your luggage (usually won't be so long), and left you have 30 minutes to check in only. And Air Asia now starting to charge for counter check-in, I guess you can do web check-in first in ShenZhen.

There will be someone picking me up, 1 less thing to worry.

My only worry is the airprot being very crowded as National Day holidays has been just over.

Nah, won't be a problem when arriving there. Probably need to allocate more buffer when departing through Bai Yun. The security and immigration process for Bai Yun is incredibly slow, althought not as slow as some airport, the last time I was there, it took a full 1:30 hours from check-in to the boarding area.

The airport is easy to navigate around. Unless you don't know how to speak their language that is. It's pretty simple. If someone is coming to pick you up then thats even better. I don't think you'll have any problems. It's very big so even crowded also not a problem.

Btw, there's a lot of buses to town which is very cheap. I take the bus to town everytime I visit GZ.

any lrt from airport to the shopping area? or only busses?

If there's any train/subway to the city, I would like to know as well.
As far as I know there's none, that's why I'm still taking the buses when I'm there.

Come on...Just spent some time...do some research....How can you people go Vacation without studying the places first?

Guangzhou such a big city...almost more advance than Kuala Lumpur...such big and advance city how can it no subway at all?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm..._Metro_MapA.png

The MRT system in Guangzhou is much more advance than KL for sure and wth the addition of the newest line and probably the longest city-to city MRT connecting to Zhuhai which is >120km South of Guanzhou and this MRT max speed at 200km/hr mind you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guangzhou%E2%...s_Rapid_Transit

Any idea how's the ticket price like?
I check the map, the place I usually go to have to change few lines. =.= while if I take bus less hassle. If lots of luggage won't be nice travelling via subway.

Very cheap.

However, if you arrive at Guangzhou station (Guangzhou railway station), the metro station is extremely crowded.

just take the metro/lrt from airport
u can go direct to Guangzhou Railway Station (shopping paradise)
the metro is cheap and fast....no traffic jammed hehe
at GZ railway station already got many shopping plaza...

yup GZ is a shopping paradise...
buy many2 more cheap hahaha

Hi..

Anyone who already go to Guangzhou, China ?

I need your advice.

Where should / must go..

This trip is my first time to Guangzhou..

Nice place to release tension

and best place to shopping .

Need your advice.

Thanks.

How many days will you be in Guangzhou? If you hv atleast a week or ~ 5-6 days, dun just limit to Guangzhou. Explore further to Shenzhen, Hong Kong or even to Macau.

Around Guangzhou, is not really a relaxing city. It's busy, jam, air pollution & huge. Imagine this should be the largest metro in China if Guangzhou admin area include Foshan, Dongguan & Shenzhen combined together where population of these 4 cities which is not far apart actually already >30million. and if include Hong Kong, Macau & Zhuhai, easily hit >50 million and thus the largest gigantic world metrooilitan area in the world & also much larger than Shanghai & Beijing metro area

Anyway you can just google some of guangzhou famous & must attractions. Here one of them:
http://www.chinatravelsavvy.com/destinatio...CFYEa6wodUBgDHA

Dear all, there is a company offer me in Shiji Road, Guangzhou.

How is the environment there? is it worth for me to work there?

Wah very high budget...There will be a lot of 5 stars hotel for that rate liao haha..Even their 3 stars hotels only ~ RM80- RM120 haha

Too bad I dun really stay there b4..just spent ~ 1/2 day in Guangzhou last time. Try agoda, booking.com, hotel.com & etc. Otherwise just google & check the best from China hotel website.. One thing good about those chinese website- You no need to prepaid 1st unlike those Internationally wellknown booking websites

i stayed in holiday inn guangzhou shifu road about 525 yuan or about rm260+. location near shangxiajiu shopping district.heard guangzhou W is pretty cheap too about rm$300+
here you go if you want a local online hotel booking site http://hotels.english.ctrip.com/Domestic/SearchHotel.aspx

Hi bro, mind share more info about your stay in holiday inn shifu road? is the hotel near LRT station? convenient wise ok? nearby is shopping mall?

for holiday inn shifu, twin bed can accomodate 4 person?

any other hotel that you guys think is ok to stay and convenient?

i think should be possible,since the twin bed are quite big
behind the hotel is the shangxiajiu pedestrian shopping district, lots of shops (mini malls also)
its about 10 minutes walk to the nearest Guangzhou Metro station

what kind of cheap thing that normally ppl buy? LV bag, branded goods got cheaper than here?

yup...
just go to Baiyun Leather shopping centre
many choices n grades ..

can suggest nightlife activities in GZ? anyone familiar with their club/pub?

Hi! I'm going for biz trip in the middle of May to foshan. Would like to extend my stay for about 3 days..probably going to Guangzhou and also Shenzhen since i never been there before. Any advise?
how should i plan my transport from foshan to guangzhou/shenzhen...etc? I will be flying from Guangzhou airport to KL.

Lazy Tongue,

From GZ Baiyun Airport there is a shuttle bus direct to Foshan. They still operate up until midnight if I am not mistaken. Please check after you leave the Gate.

To go back to Gz from Foshan, you can either take the metro or the bus (Foshan-Gz line - lots of stations depending on where you stay in Gz) if you want to enjoy the city.

bro apprciate all ur comment in this thread

looking to go guangzhou just for some search on car product ( famous yongfu road ) just a window shopping thingy

hmm, u suggest go shenzhen too?

mind sharing how to get to shenzhen from guangzhou?

roughly how much ( exclude shopping ) to get to guangzhou and than shenzhen for 5 days or 6 days.. mainly wanna know more about travelling cost

check air asia, from msia to guangzhou now is around 450 only..

main prob is how to get to shenzhen from guangzhou

Getting from Guangzhou to Shenzhen is one of the most simple thing. Just take the MRT from anywhere to Guanzhou Easy railway stn located North of Tianhe Stadium

Thereafter, just buy the 1hr speed train direct to Shenzhen. Cost ~ RMB75

thxs bro planning to go on july 2nd for 5 days 4 nite..

would drop by Shenzhen too..

should not be too rush isnt it?

early morning go Shenzhen stay overnite there shud be more than enough?

Hi, i'm going to Guang Zhou in early January 2013, guess it's winter right? Anybody here mind to share some travel itinerary in Guang Zhou please? By now, I'm more concerned about booking my accommodation first, any good hotels/inn/apartment/boutiques to recommend?

WARNING - Guangzhou Airport SIM card from China Unicom

There is a China Unicom counter that aggressively hawks SIM cards as you go through in transit. When asked, they said their card will work anywhere in China. It cost RMB100 with only RMB49 usable, and only valid for 3 months, which is far more expensive than others.

I had a few hours layover, so thought what the heck, just get one for use when I get to my destination. They took quite a long time installing it into my phone, and could hear them passing rude remarks about non-Chinese inquirers.

Upon arrival in the other province, I could not make calls and could not send SMS, not even check balance. My local contact took me to a CUni outlet where I was told they have separate admins and could not do anything about it. Finally I got a friend in Guangdong to contact CUni and activate voice calling which was charged as roaming. Sending SMS still was not possible although incoming OK. Balance could be checked only by adding the Guangdong prefix 020 to the system number.

So, it DID somewhat work everywhere in China, BUT.....

I am going to GZ mid Nov. Anyone knows where to get value for money leather jackets?

I know there's Baiyun Leather wholesale and Yisen Leather, which are popular, but do they sell 1 unit? Otherwise, is Shangxiajiu lu better?

Thanks

Any recommendations of Hotel to stay around Baiyun International Airport? Please help!

Any recommendations of Hotel to stay around Baiyun International Airport? Please help!

cross the border to zhuhai and take a bus from there or you could take the CTS bus from macau tower

This post has been edited by ryan18: Dec 22 2012, 10:32 AM

Thanks Ryan18. I will google the timetable & details

Hi, will be going to GZ this weekends.
just wondering is there a mall to shop for camera/dslr stuff?

Hi all,

As i am about to travel to guangzhou, i would love to know the life there, the living expenses, the traveing experience, the food they eat, and anything related. I wish someone could help me. Haha thanks.

Thread merged. Guangzhou food is Cantonese style for sure. Living expenses almost similar to kl but the hotels are cheap

going with girl? bring them go 十三行, for a shock of your life but beware that the gals might not come out until they close shop. but they close early anyway, their business start from 6am to 12pm like that lolx

anyway, guangzhou street usually got loads of roadside stalls, while restaurants, all kinds of chinese foods la, Szechuan, hunan, Xinjiang (china muslim) food, etc etc, but of course most is canto food la.

hotel is cheap. the hotel i stayed is east asia hotel, stayed at their refurbish room, i think 1 night only RM150 which is very good. Their old room sux to the max though

there's this kind of transport in guangzhou, a modified motorcycle where the rear can sit 2 people. IMO more dangerous than those tuk tuk in thailand, but i still sit, haha

oh yea....most taxis there are meter taxi, and are cheap compare to malaysia

Thanks, admin for the transfer.

Oh, thanks i am going there for quite long to work, maybe. So i was wondering what can i expect from. How much a mineral water will cost. And some early warnings of the place i am about to go. It is good to have a head start and know the area first, communication, and etc

ahh...work. then different. The air pollution there is bad compare to Malaysia . Mineral water I can't clearly remember, but I think not much different from what you buy at 7-11

public toilets are dirty (well, Malaysia toilet are the same too).

maybe you can be a bit more specific on what you want to know.

I went to Guangzhou earlier this month and was shocked to see the filth at the public toilets there. I must say it is worse than the public toilets in Malaysia. Mineral water is relatively cheap, can get them for a few RMB. And yes - air pollution; be prepared to see very dusty cars there. Also, the air smelled of urine as well and I saw people puking on the streets and children happily using the streets as their public toilets.

yes. guangzhou streets is dirty compare to some other china towns (shenzhen, zhuhai )

really wonder...why HK which is just beside them, the people are so civilized in using toilet....while there...

but nanjing air is much more polluted though

Oh man! Really? Issit that bad? Is cantonese a main language for them?
So i should avoid eatting on the streets then. I heard chinamen are b****es. Heh

For cleaner Chinese cities, have to go North, those in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai & Hangzhou are clean.. and yes cleaner than all the cities in the South inc KL

Except the haze..

yea...streetfoods are plenty...but see u dare to eat or not lo. some of them located by the main road....wee...the pollution from cars....haha

mandarin is still the main language since almost all of them speak it

shenzhen and zhuhai quite ok ma....around the same as KL/penang if not better.

but guangzhou...meh

Shenzhen -OK lah but not Zhuhai.. The toilets inside the underground mall also bad..

dei u talking about toilet or city? lol

if toilet, yes the one at underground mall quite bad. guy toilet is a small room inside the gals toilet lagi lol

but if u go their nicer mall, the toilet is ok.

if city, i find that zhuhai quite clean ma

To survive 3 meals a day for 1 person how much do you need? In RMB.

hi anyone know how to go guangzhou from zhu hai?

Currently there is a long distance MRT line going there from Zhuhai. Location - Unknown. When I went there in 2008, the only option is via express bus from the Bus terminal opposite the border gate (KFC buidong)..

less than 100 rmb for sure.
depending if you are going there for holiday for for work.

So much meh?

For me, RMB100 can survive for 2 days for 3 pax & not only 1

Hmm are you sure? Rmb 5 per meal? Its like rm 2.5 per meal?

Rmb 10/ pax on avg lah just like kl. wrongly calculated earlier paiseh. Anyway, that was in 2008. When I was in shanghai last yr, per plate of every noodle at least rmb 20 and above!

This post has been edited by stimix: Jun 2 2013, 01:49 PM

10 rmb per pax is hard to get even I think, when I was in Guangzhou recently, zkungfu and mcd cost almost rmb 20 for 1 set, and that is for lunch.

if we go to more family type of restaurant, it will easily cost rmb 30 per pax.

Hmnn Inflation really catching up fast since 2008 and already at Shanghai rate

Mind to ask for your east asia hotel which floor is it refurbish? because i check from their website some rooms offer they put 6-7 floor worry the floor are old rooms, check thrue agoda for stay at haizhu square(guess should be shopping area) some of the customer comments rooms are old and dirty.. very worry budget around rm100/120 can go up to rm150 included taxes.. any boutique hotel? or new/cleaner hotel? maybe like tune hotels? @@~

hmm...you need to pay a bit more for refurbish room, around extra RM20 like that per night

i not sure which floor is it , but when book , i choose the one a bit more expansive than the cheapest one

u can choose guangzhou baiyun city hotel, just beside the train station. that one the room is ok . I think if you pay RM150 for a hotel, u can get good clean rooms d (exclude canton fair period where most hotel room price will hike up 100%)

ohh ok noted, but for this hotel it is beside train station i see from the map not haizhu area? train station is shopping area too?

baiyun city hotel is beside train station, not really close to shopping area

ohh ok noted..

anyone stay in xidiwan hotel before?
