Anybody here been to Guangzhou?
Odds are we don't having many members posting from there. |

I was there about 13 years ago for the last time. It was interesting to say the least. There were 6 lane roads, and not many cars, and they were just getting the manufacturing revolution going there. I was at the duracell battery plant. Looked like a prison work farm to me, with a barracks next door to the factory.
I ate pretty good, and had some fun with the expats working there, but would not consider that a place to stay for a long period of time. way too hot and humid for me. |

Found out I may be going there for a week sometime. Business or pleasure? We actually had a decent "China" thread in the SF a couple years ago with some great travel advice: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_10_17/658483_Going_to_China_for_a_buissness_trip_.html Well worth the read if you haven't traveled to China before. |

I loved my time spent there.
As others have stated, great food, lots to see, friendly folks. Liberty Park was/is a must see for any freedom loving American. http://www.chinasmack.com/2013/stories/the-story-behind-the-first-statue-of-liberty-built-in-china.html I think they may have Commiefied it now, but when I saw it, the American donors names were still on every block of the monument. Guangzhou is the Philadelphia of China regarding political freedom. |
| Been there several times. Not really my favorite city in China. I guess if I am in that part of the country I would prefer to go a little bit further and stay in Hong Kong. I will be visiting Guiyang in one week to see my wife's family. The best food in China is in Guizhou or Sichuan, not in Guangdong province. |
