#tripaway San yet Sen University We hired bikes at nearby Canton Tower and cycled along the river to this university site. The area is a typical campus, with lots of trees,a few older buildings but most communist-type architecture. I was surprised to see some departments located in old,dilapidated and damp buildings. After all,this is one of the top universities in the country!Nevertheless, the atmosphere is very relaxing, family-friendly,with plenty of routes to cycle along, at least during the weekend. The only problem we had was with food-all cafeterias on site operate on student card-systems,meaning one needs to have one in order to buy food. We didn't and tried asking students to use theirs in exchange for giving them money(prices of dishes are displayed)but none apart from one agreed.In the end, we ate outside the campus, in a Muslim restaurant(can't go wrong)on the other side of the gate, in a somewhat dirty and messy area where many students rent rooms(easily noticeable). #tripaway

Go to the new Cantonese restaurant and sigh morning tea. Cantonese people say that drinking morning tea is a sigh of morning tea, and sigh is the meaning of enjoyment. Later, it was popular to drink tea as a food eater (ie, drink morning tea and turn it into lunch to eat). Under the recommendation of the younger brother Sherat, we came to this Cantonese restaurant to drink tea as a restaurant. Taste of Shunde Zhenzhibao Royal is a new Cantonese restaurant in Yanjiang. The environment in the store is high and the decoration is very beautiful, making people feel high-end elegance. If you are in a VIP room, you can enjoy the view of Desheng River while eating. Recommended [Wujin Shrimp Dumpling Emperor], 28.8 yuan. The shrimp in the shrimp dumplings is big enough and refreshing, and the shrimp dumplings are covered with gold foil, which makes the price increase a lot. [ lettuce, red fish fillet porridge] is also good, porridge bottom, fish fillets are also fresh. is not recommended [crunchy sauce radish], salty and acidic. The radish is cut too small and tastes no taste. [Boiled water mustard] The selected mustard is old, looking at the pile of sincere ginger, then forget it. Per capita consumption in the tea market: 60~70 yuan.

If a Cantonese person says that you should drink tea, you must not refuse it, because the tea in the mouth of a Cantonese person is not just a "tea drink". Zhenzhibao royalties should be a favorite morning tea restaurant of Shunde people. Not only can you enjoy the riverside scenery, but there is also a big cherry tree at the entrance of the restaurant. At every meal, the restaurant of Nuoda has already been packed. Therefore, one of the most important lessons in drinking tea in a popular tea restaurant is to grab the position in advance, otherwise you will have to wait until someone is out of position to take turns. The kind of waiting is not good.

Shooting portraits in the food store, this is also very good said to listen to the opening of the nearby barbecue restaurant, immediately go to taste early, see the store environment is quite distinctive, immediately had the impulse to take pictures. Its not easy to take good-looking portraits in places with poor lighting. I share my skills: 1. Choose a place where the light is relatively simple, try to avoid a variety of colors on the face, so Will not make the face look ugly. 2, to avoid the colorful clothing, it is even more literary and fresh. 3, try to use fixed focus, you can blur the background to make the portrait more prominent. 4, when the test pose came, pretending to point to the threshold to discover the New World, carrying distinctive dishes, squatting on the glass window, pointing at a certain feature of the store, quiet station The dinosaurs came, occasionally naughty, and took a photo with the murals........Let's play.

Couples take photos Raiders | Refuse to do small tricks, I have my street style must first dress up before going out, girls a delicate makeup and a spiritual look of boys will give you extra points! ! Today we choose street style! I love Tibetan mastiff yeah~~ Shooting Raiders h 1 Where I took pictures I chose to go to supermarkets and shopping malls! This element is very rich! 2The street style is best suited to the colorful background of the supermarket! I borrowed the products of the supermarket as a shooting props 3 Holding a bunch of flowers at the flower shop, and feeling the cool cool! (Of course, I have to buy some flowers to shoot for you) [Laughing crying R] 4 Youth market, choose a background with strong color contrast! Oh, that's so cool! With the use of calligraphy and painting, sunglasses and props are also very unique 5 clip doll machine, rich colors of light, the face of the photo will look very texture, very good!

Its rainy and cloudy, and it feels like the whole person is moldy. At this time, a barbecue with a charcoal aroma and a sweet and fragrant meat will definitely rejuvenate the long-lasting body and excite the scent. The barbecue is also very particular. The barbecue with charcoal fire will be more fragrant than the barbecue on the electric stove, and the taste is better. Of course, meat quality is also very important. Don't say anything, go straight to the Zhuji Kee of the Sports East Road, and listen to the name to know that this is an automatic barbecue restaurant with the theme of dinosaurs. Zhu Ji remembers the traditional charcoal grill, which adds a shelf that can automatically flip the skewers on the oven. It can watch the ingredients gradually ripen on the charcoal fire and feel the oil dripping on the charcoal fire. The good feeling of sizzling, without having to flip the food by yourself, and forget the trouble of turning the food and scorching the food. There are a lot of delicious foods here, each one is able to wake up the taste buds and make yourself full of energy. Recommended: raw egg oysters, red willow skewers, grilled toast, cheese baked durian.

I have been acquainted with my girlfriend for ten years. When she was a tourist souvenir designer, she became an interior designer. After reading the environmental art design, I became a blogger everywhere. It happened that she recently studied in Guangzhou, so we went to take a vacation together. If you don't have time to go to Bali, you can live in the same hotel in Bali! Hotel: Guangzhou Zengcheng District Linshanju Holiday Chalet, the price is 780-880, the weekend will be more expensive. Transportation: The hotel is in a park. It is best to drive by car or take a taxi. It is best to contact the driver first. mortuary type: It is said that A8 and A10 are the best. We lived in B3 this time, and the photos are also very good. The room is quite big, the windows are on all three sides, and it looks very beautiful. The balcony of each room has a bathtub and there is cold water and hot water. Facilities: The hotel has a swimming pool, flower sea, and soya-bean milk experience. There is no restaurant within half an hour's drive, but the hotel itself has a restaurant that eats farmhouse dishes, the price ranges from 38-68, and the taste is OK, open until 8 in the evening.

Yanzhou Town is the only island town in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. This is a small island, a great place to watch birds. When you arrive at Yanzhou Town, you can see the Baisha Village Service Station. Here is the entrance to the village. The village is very simple and there are no tourists. The advertisement of Panwu No. 7 in the village was very eye-catching. As the signpost went there, it was found to be a hotel, but anyone who was dining at her house could go up to the observation deck on the third floor to see the lake view and mangrove forest. The village is very quiet, the puppies are playing and playing, the hens are pacing, the old people squinting their eyes and the fishing nets, the children sitting on the ground playing the temper. From the village's small alley can go directly to the beach, the sky and the sky, the sea and sky. There is no beach here, surrounded by a dam and cannot be intimately contacted by water. On the beach of the sea, there are many cute little red crabs, holding one big and one small red pliers. The fishermen are full of rewards. If you have cooking conditions, you can buy some fresh seafood on the spot. There are many such small wetlands near the baisha village, where you can see the herd of egrets.

I like the scenery and architecture of many cities, but Guangzhou is a city that uses food to entice me to leave. All morning tea shops, eating intestine powder, milk yellow bag, chicken feet, up and down Jiuzhusheng noodles, fish skin and pig's feet, Hong Kong restaurant's milk tea and pineapple oil, traditional and innovative Cantonese cuisine ...... 24 hours in Guangzhou, not to eat, even in the middle of the night 2.3, you can also buy a bowl of hot bamboo chicken soup. Eating goods, like I was 5 pounds in a week. For this food, I want to stay for another week~

## Every time I go to Guangzhou, I choose a tea restaurant because I have my favorite barbecued pork! Barbecued pork is a special dish in Cantonese cuisine. Pork roast is made by putting pork on a fork and cooking it on a fire. When burning, the surface will be coated with red pork sauce, so the pork is red after burning. The general barbecued pork is made from lean meat and tastes slightly sweeter. I prefer to eat fat~ good pork roast should be soft and juicy, bright color and fragrant. Among them, the balance of fat and lean meat is superior, and it is called semi-fat and thin.

The recent weather is perfect for camping. It's neither cold nor hot, and it's very cool to spend the night by the sea. This year's first overnight camping trip by the sea 🏕️ Feel the sea breeze and bask in the sun. Summer and the sea are a perfect match! Make an appointment for an afternoon and come to the beach to unwind. The sky slowly turns from blue to orange 🌄 Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the waves lapping. It's really relaxing and healing! - I've been to this beach many times. 🦀 It's a treasure trove for clamming. Every time the tide goes out, you can fill a bucket. Remember to check the tide chart and don't miss the golden time for clamming. 🏝️ The sand here is soft and delicate. We stayed here for two days and one night. Basically, no one is here, so we had the entire white sand beach to ourselves. 🚗 The main thing is that you can drive directly to the campsite. It's super convenient to camp right next to where you park. ✔️ Camping ✔️ Open flame barbecue ✔️ Sunrise ✔️ Tent ✔️ Awning ✔️ Overnight stay ✔️ Clamming ✔️ Drive directly there ✔️ Bring your dog 📍Unnamed Beach (see the last picture for directions) - 📝 Tips: ⛺️ There are campsites nearby, as well as hot and cold water, showers, restrooms, and dishwashing areas. There are no restrictions on camping. 🛒 There are shops and markets nearby where you can replenish supplies. 🌅 If you're not camping, you can also come here to watch the sunrise and sunset and go clamming for free 🆓 - Feel free to leave a message if you have any questions. Leave no trace camping and take your trash with you 🗑️

#springwander Spring in Guangdong is a celebration of color and renewal. As the season unfolds, the province’s parks come alive with cherry blossoms, lush greenery, and the gentle warmth of the sun. It’s the perfect time to escape the busy streets and immerse yourself in nature’s beauty. One of the most breathtaking spots is Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou. As I wandered through its scenic trails, I was greeted by azaleas and cherry blossoms in full bloom, painting the hills in shades of pink and white. The crisp morning air carried the sweet scent of flowers, while birds chirped from the treetops, creating a peaceful symphony. From the top, the view of the city peeking through the mist was absolutely mesmerizing. For a more serene experience, Shenzhen’s Lianhuashan Park offers a beautiful mix of lotus ponds, winding paths, and flowering trees. Strolling through the park, I found a quiet spot beneath a canopy of sakura, where soft petals drifted in the breeze like whispers of spring. Families picnicked nearby, enjoying the warmth of the season and the beauty surrounding them. Another hidden gem is Dinghu Mountain in Zhaoqing, where ancient trees, crystal-clear lakes, and cascading waterfalls create an enchanting escape. Walking along the wooden bridges, I felt completely immersed in the tranquility of nature, with spring’s vibrant energy all around me. Spring in Guangdong is more than just a season—it’s a reminder to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor the fleeting beauty of nature. If you’re ever here, take a moment to wander through its parks and let the blossoms guide your way. #SpringInGuangdong #BlossomsAndBreeze #NatureEscape #CherryBlossomMagic #ParkVibes #SereneMoments #GuangdongBeauty

#springwander Spring in Guangdong is a season of soft breezes, warm sunshine, and streets bursting with vibrant cherry blossoms and bougainvillea. Amidst the city’s lively energy, I stumbled upon the most enchanting flower café—a hidden gem where time slows down, and every sip feels like a taste of spring. Walking inside felt like stepping into a floral wonderland. Wisteria draped from the ceiling, fresh jasmine and peonies adorned every table, and the air was filled with the delicate scent of blooming roses mixed with the aroma of freshly brewed tea. It was the kind of place where nature and elegance blended seamlessly, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city outside. I ordered a rose-infused matcha latte and a slice of sakura mousse cake—each bite light, fragrant, and reminiscent of spring’s fleeting beauty. Sitting by the window, I watched the cherry blossom petals swirl in the breeze outside, a poetic reminder of how precious these moments are. Guangdong may be known for its dynamic cities and rich culture, but in spring, it unveils a softer, more romantic side. And this flower café? It was the perfect place to embrace the season—a space filled with beauty, warmth, and the simple joy of slowing down. If you ever visit Guangdong in spring, take a detour to a flower café, sip on something floral, and let yourself get lost in the magic of the blooms. Because sometimes, the most beautiful moments are found in the quietest places. #SpringInGuangdong #FlowerCafeMagic #BlossomsAndBrews #SakuraSeason #GuangdongCafeHopping #PetalsAndPastries #HiddenGemsGuangdong

#discoverchina Had two recent stays in Shenzhen recently. On both occasions I had a wonderful experience. My rooms both times afforded lounge access. I also enjoyed breakfast and lunch in Flavorz restaurant and dinner in Paletto. From check in to check out, every staff member I encountered, from the front door, front desk, concierge, restaurants, and the room manager was helpful, attentive and anticipated needs. In particular the staff in the lounge on both stays were remarkably attentive, ensuring a warm welcome and making for comfortable stay. From my experiences of frequent hotel stays, this is unfortunately not something to expect and take for granted. The sincerity of the service from the Ritz is unusual and sets a very high standard.

#discoverchina It was a positive experience the moment we alighted the taxi at the hotel lobby. There were already the front service staff who led us to the lift to lobby on 96(?) floor. The check-in was like in the clouds with breathtaking views. My family love the enormous room. They were so kind to decorate the room with a child tent, books, toys upon knowing that I’ll be checking in with a kid. The bathroom experience was also superb with selection of spa music and lighting to suit your mood. There is a tv in front of the bathtub too. The hotel is conveniently located just next to KK Mall. Although everywhere is easily accessible by taxi, it was a nice experience to hop onto their city metro service which we took to Dongmen St. Did I mention that the hotel is also linked to the metro line Grand Theatre? Stay here, don’t hesitate. You will not regret it.

The Hunan restaurants in Guangdong all serve improved versions of the food, which are not as spicy and oily, making Guangdong people who don’t eat spicy food fall in love with it. The Hunan restaurant with Tang Dynasty culture that we ate at today has a Hunan style on the first floor, a courtyard style on the second floor, and mainly private rooms. The private room for more than a dozen people is really suitable for dinner parties. ⛱️Hunan specialty: Pepper-fried preserved eggs. This cold dish is a fusion of preserved eggs and peppers and goes well with rice. 🥩Stir-fried beef: The beef is tender and chewy, served with coriander and purple pepper, spicy and refreshing. 😀 🐔Abalone farm-raised chicken: The chicken is stewed until soft and tender, not at all dry, and the freshness of the small abalone is suitable for mixing with rice in the soup. 🥚Smiley Egg Yolk Roll: Egg yolk and winter melon candy are rolled up and wrapped around each other. It is a little sweet but very fragrant and needs to be paired with 🍵. The food was served quickly, the service attitude was very good, and it was a good place to eat.
