1. Must-try classic: roast goose
You haven't really been to Guangzhou if you haven't tried the roast goose! With a crispy skin and tender meat, it's paired with a sweet and sour sauce, making it a signature delicacy of Cantonese Cuisine.
2. Late-night food paradise: Baoye Road
If you enjoy a lively street atmosphere, Baoye Road food street is the go-to for late-night snacks, filled with charcoal pot dishes, chilled seafood, and barbecue stalls bustling even in the early hours.

3. Cantonese snacks: rice rolls, wonton noodles, and Claypot Rice
Dinner can start with street snacks— Rice Rolls are as thin as a cicada's wing, filled with fresh shrimp or beef; the wonton noodles have a firm texture, with a fragrant broth; the claypot rice is aromatic and the waxed meats seep their oil into the rice, making it a favorite warm choice for Guangzhou locals.
Guangzhou people dine relatively late, with many food stalls getting busy only after 8 PM. If you want to avoid crowds, it's best to arrive before 7 PM; but if you want to soak up the late-night dining culture, head out after 10 PM!

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
