7 Days in Guangzhou | What to eat, Where to shop | First Time in China | Travel Vlog

Hi everyone!
Sharing a little vlog of my trip to Guangzhou at the end of December! This is my first time in China and I was really blown away by how well-developed the city is. It is also nothing like what some would warn me about China (i.e. doorless toilet cubicles, pushy & rowdy crowds, poor security). I would go as far as to say that it’s actually on par with SG!
Also, GZ folks are so kind and friendly???🫶🏼 Unknowingly dropped my phone once & a stranger quickly alerted me to it.
Anyways, hope you enjoy this looooong vlog. It took me 20-30h to complete it omaigad 😭
See ya at the next vlog on Guilin!!

got tired after work, just took a shower and watched your videos, especially your recent trip to Australia and this time to China, really changed my mood to be more energetic, thanks!

[@yuldaze]

Ahh thank you 🙆🏻‍♀️

[@luxuryofsimplicity]

Really appreciate you showing us around Guangzhou; especially the food. The hospitality in China, especially from your relatives is heartwarming to see. Keep posting & looking forward to seeing your video on Guilin 😊

[@yuldaze]

Thank you!🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@smallworldBigwalk]

I love Guangzhou and I was there last year for a few days. It had changed quite a bit since we visited long long ago. Thanks for sharing.

[@solinasora4250]

Lovely! There must be some nice viewpoints to sit and look at there arounds, that would be great for your older loved ones (people viewing and also looking at the nature)

[@JL-qp2xr]

Came across this as I’m planning a trip to Guangzhou in December, taking family and father in law to visit his hometown. Perfect video as you went in December and I got to see how crowded it is there. Thank you for showing all the good food especially the snacks and shopping. Love it!

[@yuldaze]

Nice! Have fun in GZ and dress warm!

[@chuapepper]

The foods look yummy! 乖女儿, love to see you spending time with your parents ❤

The different foods looks very tasty, except for the places you mentioned you wouldn't recommend. Very nice weather too! Hope you enjoyed your China trip!

[@yuldaze]

Thank you!!💕 it’s a trip for the old folks but I enjoyed it too, would love to visit china again

Welcome to Guangzhou!!! Most of the Cantonese delicacies have been included in your video. A REAL visual feast❤

[@yuldaze]

Haha thank you! Crawling to 10k 😂

[@simplyme3306]

Always been wanting to visit Guangzhou. One reason is that I'm Cantonese, another is my grandfather was from there...oh and the food! It is also my father's wish to visit the place again... My one and only visit to China before covid happened was to Shanghai and Hangzhou. That time we still use cash a lot, but now it seems like everything is e-wallet base and we have to somehow link to our credit card...which I find rather troublesome. Credit card means you lose a bit through transfer rate and bank charges.

[@yuldaze]

Yeah unfortunately it’s mostly e-wallet now!

[@robertwang7825]

Welcome to GZ , the food capital of Southern China with abundant delicacies and deep food culture. It’s def a world class city of immense wealth and friendly culture.

Is that men wah bing teng at guangzhou? Could you tell me where is it? Thank you 😊😊😊

[@yuldaze]

Quite a number of branches! You can try Tee Mall’s

[@Zyxwvutsrq]

Great video but it’s incredibly difficult to locate most of these places to try and visit them myself on an upcoming trip 😢

[@yuldaze]

Use 高德地图 (Gaode maps)

[@Christine12372]

this came just in time bc im heading to china soon hahahah!! did you pay via alipay and whether there are international credit card charges?

[@yuldaze]

Oh I usually use Alipay and WeChat. Any amounts more than 200yuan incurs additional 3% fee 😭😭😭 some malls accept international credit cards, but most don’t

[@maysheng7]

Great video. What is the name of the last restaurant with seafood?

Hello! Wanna ask what hotel did stayed at and will you recommend the hotel?:)

[@yuldaze]

Hi, I stayed at two hotels - Jianguo Hotel and China Marriott Hotel! Would recommend China Marriott. Jianguo’s service was subpar

[@viennahuang2802]

Are you able to share the restaurant and its locations? I couldn’t find Chua lams dimsum place on google maps

[@yuldaze]

Hi you need to download Gaode maps. Gmap doesn’t work well in China

[@JL-qp2xr]

Also where did you find that white rabbit candy store? My kids will go crazy for that! We don’t see much here in the US :(

[@yuldaze]

The Rabbit candy store is at Beijing Lu. I recommend you to download Gaode map to get around GZ :)

[@sahana9901]

Loved watching yet another amazing vlog!

[@yuldaze]

Thank youuu 🥰

[@marcusyoung5440]

I’ll be back in GZ later this year bringing mom and sister’s family, and I’m looking for restaurant ideas. Why can’t Google maps find most of the places you went to? I can’t find Chao Mi Guo or 十八道江湾店. They looked good! Any help is appreciated. (I was able to find Wan Nian.) I was just in Singapore yesterday 😊 First time finding your video. Thx!

[@yuldaze]

Hi! Thanks much for watching the vlog 🫶🏼 Google Maps is no good for China. Download 高德地图 (gaode maps)! Friendly interface, much easier to navigate than the popular Baidu maps 🙂

[@risabell04]

Is it hard for tourists to get around the city especially if you don’t speak the language?

[@yuldaze]

If you’re taking Didi throughout, app is in English so it should be fine. Many of the restos and cafes also have menu in English

[@posterised]

❤ loved watching this!! Was it difficult setting up WeChat / Alipay to pay in China?

[@yuldaze]

Thank you! It was a bit troublesome but definitely not difficult!

[@nellie.17]

I used to live in guangzhou so this was really nostalgic. However, can’t help to realize that majority of your subtitles are mainly complaints 😅

[@yuldaze]

Really?? Maybe cause I’m a food critic LOL

[@JS-ev4xc]

It seems Guangzhou is no longer a cheaper alternative to HK. I wonder how the locals can afford.

[@nik0096]

Do I need international mobile plans or can I buy sim card at the airport ?

[@yuldaze]

My personal preference is to buy eSIM before arriving in China, but yes u can buy SIM card at airport too

[@nik0096]

@yuldaze Does Buying SIM card at the airport causes any network issues during the trip or does it works absolutely fine ?

[@yuldaze]

@@nik0096 ah not too sure about that, I didn’t use SIM card! Mine’s esim

Thanks for bringing me to this town, I live in HK and frequently travelled there 30 years ago. So much have changed. Taikoo Hui is owned by a HK / British developer Taikoo. Li Ning was a Olypmic gold medal gymnast, now a listed blue chip sports wear brand. Its gaudy though. Men Wah is a HK chain cha-chen-ten (casual resto). Very good food in HK. Stay away from cake bread spaghetti in China.
