GuangZhou China

It's been almost 2 months since i came back from Guangzhou, China. It was one of the most memorable trip so far. A short 5 days 4 nights trip brought me and three of my buddy to some of the best restaurant and cafe around Guangzhou. The public transport system is indeed very impressive and efficient. No hassle at all to travel smoothly inside the city with a population of around 10 million people. I have to say that having a friend in different part of the world helps a lot especially for us who speak limited of mandarin. Thanks to my friend who is working here we manage to visit some of the important places ( Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park, Shang Xia jiu Lu, Pearl River etc.) in such a big city with limited time. The night view of the Pearl river was magnificient and you can take the night cruise with buffet on board. The food we had during the trip was something worth to talk about. We had the best cooked brinjal, herbal steam chicken & soy sauce chicken. There are tonnes of restaurant in this town but u have to know the best one so that you can have the best one! The place we stayed (Lilac international suites) in Guangzhou was superb & located in one of the best location in the city. ( just minutes walk from the Guangzhou east railway station - an important hub to travel to dongguan, shenzen & hong kong) You can reach shenzen in just about an hour as the CRH train travel at the highest speed of 200 kmh. To be continue..............Well it was a let down for the tao tao ju restaurant where we had our breakfast dim sum..........the dim sum was so so...but the chinese tea was fabulous! The wantan mee that we tried was also below par.........not up to par with what we have here in Malaysia. We had the best afternoon session in a cafe located inside an IT mall.
