Guang Zhou Trip

Before flying to GuangZhou, my friends helped me to search for places of interest for my short trip this time.
I stayed at LiuHua Road, Guang Zhou. It’s quite a strategic place for me to go around.
There’s 2 Lake & Garden there, Liu Hua Lake & Yue Xiu Lake Garden. First day there, I had a walk around Liu Hua Lake.

Next destination were Beijing Road, recommended by the hotel receptionist. Took a cab there. Wow, the streets were so crowded. Lots of people were having their Sunday weekend there. There were the promoters standing in front of the shops to welcome & attract customer to enter their shops. It’s quite competitive as there were many shops there. You could spent the whole evening till 1030pm there to shop for clothes, accessories, snacks and many more. Over there, you could get the best price if you area good bargainer ;P
A reminder, you will need to remember a landmark where you begin, coz you might get lost after walking many stretch & a few corners.




The below shop has a huge crowd buying snacks. I observed that it has quite a numberof outlets in Guang Zhou and most of the time there were crowds buying the snacks.

And everywhere in GuangZhou, you see the Asian Games 5 Goats sculptures.

Some of the shoplot boutique sells clothes at a moderate price, with quite good quality of the clothes.
After a hectic walk around there, I drop by a cafĂ© to have my dinner. I ordered Fried Noodle; sort of fried Udon I would say. Quite nice however it’s very oily.
I had Yin Yong Drink.



Night time, the LED lights were light up on the trees, very beautiful…:)

Observed there were Coca-Cola stalls selling many different kinds of Ice Blended Mango, Strawberry and others..It would be nice if Coca-Cola does have variety of drinks selling in Malaysia too..
Surprisingly, the staff had a short briefing before the starts of the biz at nite.

In the middle of the Beijing Road, the remaining stones from many different Dynasty were conserved with transparent glass on the road itself; of course with lighting during the night. This attracts many people from local and foreigner like us to have nice view during our walk there….

There’s this brand 361 degree, 1 of the main sponsors for the 16th Asian Games Guang Zhou 2010, which ended on the 27 Nov. 2010.

When I went off around 10pm, there were still a lot of people there.
That's my first nite in Guang Zhou.
