GUANGZHOU
|
Guangzhou, known in the West as Canton,
is the capital city of the huge province of Guangdong
China.There is a colonial side to Guangzhou that has
a relaxed and laid back feeling to it. Many of the buildings
and churches on Shamian Island are well maintained and
rather pretty, especially compared to the high rises
and granite buildings on the other side of the river.Eating
is certainly the main pleasure for the local residents
of Guangzhou and there are literally hundreds of good
restaurants serving up authentic Cantonese cuisine.
The atmosphere in many of places of Guangzhou is great
and not unlike the city itself- lively, friendly and
very very noise

clouds circles the mountains. This is how White
