We waited 1.5hrs for the taxi outside a shopping mall. People fighting, shouting, spitting and jumping queue. People in the queue are so united, we watched out and stopped people from jumping queue. Its Autumn festival and the Chinese treated this festival so seriously. They have 3 days rest, they will travel out with family and friends for a short getaway. Its just like another CNY The most friendly people we met are the taxi drivers. Taxi (da di) are so cheap compare to Singapore and they go by meter. Advice not to take those illegal taxi as they will give you heart attack on the rate you have to pay.
Duck, Pork and Char Siew cum a salted egg. Yummy!!
Busy train station. The train ticket is a magnetic coin.
A great experience travelling to China. We are so blessed that we did not meet any danger there. We have heard of counterfeit note exchanged when you purchase from shop. Some even found counterfeit notes when they drawn money from the ATM machine. You could be target to be robbed as this city is extremely crowded, polluted and the people for the most part dishonest and looking to rip you off. Be extremely careful with your belongings especially bags and hand phone. In Guangzhou, Cantonese is much more widely spoken. Brush up your Cantonese before going. A fruitful experience in these 5 days.
