| The Pearl River Night Cruise, "Up-down-9" shopping street at night(must be night), The large garden with 9 Ram Statue(forgotten the name) and the tall museum inside(every level's treasures) The Old Emperor's Tomb(ask the local) Shamian(an old french area, very romantic, again better at night) The shopping area with many shopping complexes and a largest book store. White Cloud Mountain is a waste of time and money, nothing nice, don't go. |

| GUEST92846 | White Cloud Mountain is a very nice place to visit, as a foreigner I founed it very interesting. Is there a local park near Guangzhou where they allow Bike (Mountain) riding? |

| Thanks for your help, is there a food that is a must to try in Guangzhou? Or a special restaurant, I am going at the end of October 2010 to the Canton Fair. |

| GUEST42176 | Cantonese food are famous but I don't find any speciality. You can ask the hotel staff or the locals when you arrive. |

| Guangzhou offers both Chinese and foreign cuisines as well as Chinese and western fast food. I suppose you are used to western fast food, then you may try some Chinese cuisines. You may inquire info from the receptionist of the hotel. Once you are there you will know. Wan |

| I suggest you try some traditional Cantoness food, such as Dim Sum, sea food, slow-cooked soup and dessert. Angel Yang(hotmail.com|yangjinying) |

| Is there a dress code or jeans are fine? I am going to the canton fair and visit some places, at night we'll go bar hoping etc... |

| You should visit Chen Clan Academy: it encapsulates a lot of traditional Chinese hiostory and style. It's on the metro and only about 10 rmb to enter. Many ppl enjoy the traditional Chinese medicine wholesale market just accross the narrow channel and a busy road from Shamian Island. You might also coniser eating at a fish restaurant at the fish market next to Shamian Island. You should definitely try dimsum/yumcha at one of the speciality restaurants but you need a group to make it the fun it should be: I emjoy the 'night tea' version best. Eating in the streets, hotpot and BBQ are great, but with the Asian Games coming soon the authorities are forcing many to close. |
