Guangzhou's Full-Stomach Tour (Day 2)

It was already 11 o'clock when I woke up naturally after training, and then I hurriedly took a taxi to Baohua Road, Shangxiajiu, to eat at the rice noodle roll shop I hadn't seen for 3 years. I didn't even know the name of the shop, but I could always get there automatically by navigating. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it this time after searching for a long time. It turned out that such delicious rice noodle rolls could not withstand the baptism of the epidemic 😔😔, and it has become another noodle shop. No matter how disappointed we were, we still had to have lunch, so we took a taxi to the Panxi Restaurant for tea. We chose this restaurant mainly because our friend had never been there, and the garden-style design was ancient and quaint, with a unique flavor. But disappointments always come one after another. The previous visit to Bank Creek could not be described as "Wow, it's so delicious", but at least I felt it was worth the money. This time, not only did I feel it was a bit expensive, as the average dim sum dish costs 30 to 40 dollars, but it also tasted so-so, with only the boiled pork chops being okay. No wonder I didn't have to wait for a table when I went there on a Saturday. After finishing our tea, we walked to Yongqingfang and headed towards Shamian for about 10 to 15 minutes. If we were heading in the right direction, the first famous store we would see would be En Ning Ice Cream 🍨. Soon after walking along the ice cream shop, we officially arrived at Yongqingfang. Although it is not an ancient town, the shops here are full of souvenirs, cultural and creative shops, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. However, there are indeed cultural sites to visit, such as Bruce Lee's ancestral home and Xiguan singing performances. Overall, it's good. Later, a friend was very upset and said that he must eat rice noodle rolls when he went to Guangzhou. So we were in Liwan District and went to the food street Xihua Road. We looked online and found that Fang Ji rice noodle rolls seemed good, so we went to try it. Honestly speaking, it is nothing compared to my old favorite, it is just normal and the place is very old, you don't need to go there specially to try it. It was almost 5 o'clock when we finished eating, but we couldn't have time for dinner, so we took the subway to Zuodongshankou. There are so many trendy people there, and many stylish shops (mainly selling clothes). The coffee shops ☕️ on the street are all very beautiful. I definitely recommend going there. After walking around, it was around 8 o'clock when I got back to Beijing Road. Then I walked around Beijing Road, ate skewers, and tried a bowl of clams from a restaurant that allows you to add other dishes. The taste was ok and it was a good snack 🍿🍢🥡. This way of eating means not having a proper meal and making dinner. Since it is almost 10 o'clock, we can just go for a drink🍺~ But everyone thinks it is better to drink near the hotel to avoid the trouble of traveling. We found a bar on Beijing Road, but they only served whiskey and cocktails. The strangest thing was that they didn’t even have bottled beer, so we went to the second one to take a look. After that, we looked around and saw a bar by the river, but it only sold craft beer, which was not our cup of tea. In the end, we all went to Zhujiang Road in Tianhe for a night out. This time, we tried another bar called commune. We sat outside. It was a Saturday and there were a lot of people, mostly women, and the atmosphere was great. For supper, we also went to Oyster Wong Choi because they had a $100 coupon, which was a great deal. That’s how we successfully completed the second day of our journey. The journey continues on Day 3. . . . #Guangzhou #Yongqingfang #Guangzhou Dongshankou #Banxi #Drinking #Beijing Road Pedestrian Street #Midnight Snack
