Guangzhou City Centre China Walking Tour (2019) / 广州天河到花城广场 (2019)

Guangzhou City Centre China Walking Tour (2019) is a video recording of my walk in Guangzhou, China with no talking. I highly recommend using headphones to experience 3D environment sounds as I recorded with binaural microphones.

Guangzhou Tianhe Info:
Tianhe District (Chinese: 天河区) is one of the eleven districts of Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province. In Chinese, the name Tianhe literally means "a river in the sky/heavens", which is also a Chinese name for the Milky Way. It is bordered by Yuexiu District on the west, Baiyun District on the north and Huangpu District on the east. Haizhu District is on its south, though they are separated by the Pearl River.
Tianhe became a district in the 1980s as the city expanded its size. Back then, it was east of Dongshan District (which was merged into Yuexiu in 2005) and it was more suburban-like if not rural like. Even though a majority of colleges and universities in the city were located in the district, the rest of the district was mostly composed of rice fields.
Symbolic landmarks of Guangzhou located in Tianhe District are Citic Plaza, Guangzhou International Finance Center, Guangzhou Opera House, and the Guangdong Museum. The 6th and 9th of The National Games of the People's Republic of China and the 2010 Asian Games were also held in Tianhe District, Guangzhou.

I always have a misconception of China but after visited Guangzhou three weeks ago, the beauty of Guangzhou has totally changed my perception. It’s a very modern city enriched with the beauty of past history as well. I gotta say I would definitely go back one day.

[@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I can totally relate to it💭😊 it's true when they say, you have to see it to believe it, and I see much prosperity and hope in China

[@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV]

Hi friends. This is Alan from Discovery Walking Tours TV. I recently visited the megacity of Guangzhou and I had a real blast recording the sights and sounds. I traveled to many parts of China during the last 2 years and have personally seen the huge changes. I think there is a lot of "misinformation" about how the country is like, and I hope with these videos, people will be more well informed and will be able to see the country for what is it. I used binaural microphones to record the environmental sounds. So if you have a pair of headphones, do use them, it will be quite an immersive experience 😀 If you notice any interesting points in the video or want to ask about something that was caught on camera, comment with a time stamp (eg 00:01) and I will be sure to check it out. I am also interested to know where you are from 😄 so drop a comment below and say hi! If you are keen to see more of Guangzhou, check out my playlist below kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ_Lgq2hmNCCmtE

Great place to live and lovely city to visit. Some very nice architecture, clean apartment buildings and so different from each other. So refreshing and easy on the eye. Thanks a lot Alan.

[@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV]

It's nice how they seem to be "conserving" and "repurposing" some of the residential buildings in the city core. Its nice to see the area being brought to life with the cafes and boutique shops on the ground floor

I play these walking tours in another tab while I work, so I can hear the sounds of other cities around the world, even while I'm stuck working at home for now.

Your China videos are awesome, please we want more.its really special,no one is filming Chinese cities the way you do

[@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV]

Will do my best! 😄 I have a special interest and love for this country. Everything I thought I know about China changed the moment I stepped into their world (many years back). The things I see and hear from the various media outlets don't do justice to the country. Hopefully, I will be able to visit and document as much as I can 😄

[@DySun]

what is your video setup? I guess u were using a gimbal?

[@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV]

Yup. I use a DJI Osmo Pocket. The gimbal comes with the camera and making everything soo portable and easy to use. You intending on getting one?

[@DySun]

@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV Indeed. This is the most portable gimbal videocam right now. I read that u used a very good microphone. Can share with me what make and model?

[@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV]

@@DySun I use a Hooke Audio binaural microphone. There is no model number. I heard the Seinheiser Ambeo is pretty good but it can only linked to an iPhone plus its expensive so I settled on what I thought was 2md best. 3dio specialises in binaural mics as well but their microphones are just too large for me at this point of time.

Very very impressive - this part of Guangzhou. In other part of China, indeed Hong Kong , there is big problem with having house or even rent. 200.000 + Hong Kong citizens live in "coffin 2x1 m rooms" . That was awfull to see it.

@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV I just translated it character by character XD, the community is built for "六运会”, the sixth national sports festival, and that's why it's named after "六运", "运" also has the meaning of fortune, so just liked to call it "six fortune" personally XD

[@supertrouper]

Wow. There are so many migrants from other parts of the country that it seems like there is more Mandarin than Cantonese being spoken in Guangzhou. So is Cantonese ceasing to exist in Guangzhou now?

[@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV]

🤣 Glad to hear from you Supertrouper. I think Cantonese is here to stay in Guangdong province and Guangzhou city itself. I hear it being spoken quite often all over the area 😁

[@Brick-Life]

Still lots of Cantonese

[@supertrouper]

It could maybe just the video, but with the videos I have seen of Guangzhou streets, yes there are still a lot of Cantonese speakers, but it seems like the Mandarin speakers are at least 60%-85%, correct me if I am mistaken. Unless it depends on which areas of Guangzhou. Could it be possible that some parts of Guangzhou are still very Cantonese speaking and the other parts have a Mandarin speaking majority that I do not know of.

[@Brick-Life]

@@supertrouper I would say it depends on wher you are. Tianhe would have more Mandarin speakers as its the new development area while Yuexiu and Haizhu would have more Cantonese
