The day and night at Aranya in Guangzhou are surprisingly great for exploring.

The Christmas market has already been set up and will start this weekend. It looks like it will be even more lively. I went on a weekday and it was already quite crowded, so I expect it will be even more packed on the weekend. There are so many interesting shops! Aside from the hotel prices being a bit high, the prices for food, drinks, and entertainment are really reasonable. 1-4 The town is very photogenic, but it gets crowded. It's better to take photos in the morning. 5-7 There's a cat cafe in Claw Claw. It's 58 RMB per person on weekdays, including a drink and cat treats. You can enter and exit freely with a wristband, which is great value. 8-9 Wilderness Nature Museum is a very interesting specimen shop. This type of shop is rare and worth visiting and taking photos. 11 Begl's original bagels and fig bagels are delicious. If you have a dog, you can get a free dog bagel. 12-16 After 9 pm, the crowds thin out considerably. It's also a great time for photos after the shops close. There's a restaurant on the second floor of Dongliang, where you can eat and drink cocktails. It's one of only two places where you can drink alcohol. They serve cocktails and whiskey here, and there's also a craft beer place called Tiaohai. The atmosphere is great. If you're staying in the park at night, you should definitely try it.
