Guangzhou

Early on Sunday morning my friend Scott met me at Hung Hom station in Hong Kong and we headed north from Hong Kong to Guangzhou. I've heard lots of negative things about Guangzhou so I wasn't prepared for much.. come up after getting out of the station (Chinese instruct stations are always a bit chaotic). I discovered I really liked it. It has wide tree-lined streets good food it's cleaner than other Chinese cities it seems to have some culture... After lunch we went to Shamian 沙面 site of the old trading houses where European change with China began in the 1750s. Now it's the place of many families adopting Chinese babies. Or at least that's where they stay. It's kind of interesting. After that we went back had dumplings and Great Wall booze for dinner (which I kind of desire) and watched Veronica Mars which I'd never seen and kind of love. The next morning. I flew from Guangzhou to Beijing. It was delayed somewhat but relatively uneventful. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
