Travel notes of Guangzhou, Huizhou and Shunde one year later.

Guangzhou in May is like a huge sauna. When you go out, you are sweating all over. Presumably chimelong animals are also listless. Can Guangzhou have fun without Chimelong parent-child tour? Can adults have their own travel experience besides seeing their children in different places? The answer lies in this travel book.

I came back from Hainan in early March and stopped for two months, and my desire to travel began to stir again. Guangzhou Changlong was the first destination I thought of, because the train teacher happened to be giving a lecture in Guangdong at the end of April (the principle of our trip now is that wherever Dad goes, the destination is there). It was already mid-April. After checking the plane ticket, it costs more than 4000 yuan for a person to go back and forth. The idea just ran through my mind for a while and then I gave up. However, one night in April, when I was still holding my mobile phone and didn't want to fall asleep, I saw a circle of friends sent by my old classmates, "Give children the right to use air tickets as of May 12". It's really a bird that sleeps late. Take the quota first, and then where you want to go when you wake up. (Free air tickets for children are an interest of diamond credit card users of China Merchants Bank, which will be discussed in detail later. ) The next afternoon, I took a nap with Xiao V and glanced at the plane ticket in a hurry. Countless plans were formed and deleted in my mind. (For example, flying to Shenzhen and then going to Hong Kong, for example, going to Guangzhou and then going to Sanya ...) Finally, I booked a round-trip air ticket from Beijing to Guangzhou from April 29 to May 7, and my classmates quickly booked a child ticket for Xiao V for me. Thanks again. Before I came to Guangzhou, I planned to go to Chimelong to see animals this time, but as soon as I walked on the road in Guangzhou, I was hit by the heat wave and felt the sauna days in advance. I just want to blow the air conditioner indoors, and I don't want to go anywhere. Fortunately, Guangzhou is the capital of food, and it takes several days just to punch in at famous restaurants, so this trip has become an out-and-out summer trip, so that at the end of the trip, Xiao V, who is learning to speak, has more high-frequency vocabulary and tea.

? At 4: 30 in the morning on the 29th, I got up early to get ready to leave, and whispered in Xiao V's ear that we were ready to leave for the plane. She immediately sat up, rubbed her eyes like a reflex and asked me to help her get dressed. Ten minutes later, I got on the Yi Dao bus bound for the airport. Xiao V is now an "old driver" with a cumulative flight mileage of over 10,000. I am familiar with flying alone with her. As long as I bring enough snacks, I can basically hold it. When you get off the plane and meet the train teacher, take subway line 3 and turn to line 2, and the exit of Haizhu Square Station is Guangzhou Hotel. You must spit out the Guangzhou subway. Even if the elevators in many stations don't open, there is no toilet on Metro Line 3, which is simply inhuman.

Accommodation in Guangzhou coincides with the Canton Fair and the May Day holiday, which is really a big pit and expensive. You can only choose between location and comfort. If you want to satisfy both, the price should start at least 1000 yuan. The location of Guangzhou Hotel is very good, and it takes ten minutes to walk to Beijing Road Pedestrian Street and No.1 Pier of Hetianzi. But I really don't recommend staying in this hotel. Although I have seen many bad reviews on the Internet before, I think this is a four-star hotel after all, and it should not be much worse. As soon as I entered the room, it was really bad beyond my imagination. The price of more than 500 a night is actually the hotel configuration in the 1990 s. Fortunately, I am used to bringing my own kettle and sleeping bag. Next time I come to Guangzhou, I will still live near Jiazheng Square or Zhujiang New Town. Guangzhou hotels are so poor that they can still maintain a high popularity. There are about two restaurants above the hotel. After putting down our luggage, we went to the Deyun Palace restaurant on the top floor of the hotel for lunch. This is the first day of the holiday, and restaurants are very popular. We waited for half an hour before eating. Most of the people who come here for dinner are family dinners of local people in Guangzhou. Except for an unaccustomed pig hand, everything else is good (better than any Cantonese tea restaurant in Beijing anyway). If you are lucky enough to sit by the window and look at the Pearl River not far away, drinking tea is also a kind of enjoyment. Dare not order any more. There is still a long list of delicious food waiting for us to review. Back to the room, Xiao V took a nap accompanied by the train teacher. I swept mobike and continued to look for food. I rode my bike for more than 20 minutes in the sultry afternoon to the "Pearl Krabs Snack Bar" in Liwan District, which is a veritable fly restaurant, and it was still crowded at 3 pm. This restaurant specializes in beef powder and ordered the signature beef brisket clay pot powder. I just wanted to taste a few bites, and the first bite was not bad. Plus the sour radish and kimchi in the shop, I almost finished the whole pot. Looking at the beef ball powder and pork intestines powder ordered by others, I also want to eat them. I can't hold it any longer. I think it's really delicious when I'm not hungry at all. Students who like light food probably don't like it here too much, but I really like this kind of meat with rich soup and soft taste. After eating this restaurant, I rode back to Beijing Road near the hotel. When I packed "Silver rice rolls" in the food pedestrian street, it rained all day, and Xiao V just woke up when I returned to the hotel. In order to taste more delicious food, I try not to go to the restaurant I ate in Guangzhou last time, but Yin Ji and Tao Taoju must be spared. Yin Ji rice rolls is arguably the best rice rolls I have ever eaten. It looks like a soft beach, but it is layered, smooth and soft in the mouth. Of course, his boat porridge is also very good, but in order to make more delicious food in the limited stomach space, the staple food can still be avoided.

The rain gradually stopped, and I wandered around the DeDeyulou store in Diandu with an umbrella. It's just half past five, and I'm already waiting. Fortunately, I can sit down after waiting for more than ten minutes. When I was not hungry, I ordered another table and sent a box of free-range eggs, which were not much bigger than quail eggs. Walking in the street to digest food, everyone has all kinds of snacks in their hands, and almost every store is waiting in line. In this atmosphere, they unconsciously want to eat something again.

When I went back to the hotel to put Xiao V to sleep, the hot and lively supper had just begun. It's the train teacher's turn to go out to eat this time, but the coconut stew recommended by the public comment is very general, not as delicious as the coconut chicken soup I made in Hainan.

? When I woke up the next day, I went directly to another time-honored restaurant on the second floor of the hotel-Yindeng Restaurant for morning tea. It may be that the food on the first day has not been digested in the stomach, and it feels not as delicious as Yungong. After breakfast, take the subway to K 1 1 near Zhujiang New Town. Out of the subway, all kinds of towering buildings are coming, and you can feel that Guangzhou is also a first-tier city here. This kind of art department shopping mall can hardly be found in Beijing, and it may be comparable to the overseas Chinese welfare grassland. In a shopping mall with a high environment, just patting it is enough to send a group of friends. Unfortunately, we are not selfie addicts. I am more concerned about whether the supporting facilities of the shopping mall are perfect. The environment of the family bathroom and the maternal and child room here is good. Restaurants in shopping malls are also particularly suitable for making friends. We were attracted by an elegant bar. It turns out that besides the perfect decoration, the food tastes really complicated. Maybe I ate too much delicious food on the first day, and soon I greedy my mouth, or maybe the weather was too sultry, and I didn't have much interest in all kinds of delicious food on this day. In order to avoid further trial and error, it is safer to eat famous shops like Taotaoju. I found that Xiao V has great potential to be an old gourmet. The restaurant that failed at noon only ate a few mouthfuls. In the evening, she ordered three dishes in Taotaoju, and she ate half of them.

? When I didn't go out to eat on the last night in Guangzhou, I always felt that the day was not over. There are several Vietnamese restaurants near where we live. Yes, it's Vietnamese food, but it's Vietnamese food packaged in Cantonese cuisine. There are always many people waiting for dinner. So when Xiao V was asleep, I went to Jinyuexuan, a five-minute walk from the hotel, and packed a large pot of Dongyin Gong soup powder. It's past ten o'clock in the evening, and finally there's no need to wait, but it's already full, and new diners keep coming in.

In order to escape the sauna-like heat, we decided to leave Guangzhou and go to the seaside for the summer. Xiao V's enthusiasm for playing with water and sand is very high, which makes up for her regret that she didn't grow up. In order to return the car to the airport when we left, we went back to Baiyun Airport and rented a car at Avis. Past experience shows that you still need to find a big company to rent a car, and the car is generally in good condition. Moreover, illegal deposits are only pre-authorized by credit cards and will not be used secretly by some small companies. Although it will be retired later, it always makes people feel unreliable. Although the Skoda Jing Rui car is not big, the trunk can still hold things. Our 20-inch and 28-inch boxes are loaded with carts and two backs, without any pressure. Renting this car is quite suitable for a family of three, and the displacement of 1.4 is also very fuel-efficient.

? Xunliao bay, which we choose, belongs to Huizhou, which is 300 kilometers away from Guangzhou and takes more than 4 hours by car. Closer to Shenzhen, it can be regarded as Beidaihe of Shenzhen people. Beautiful real estate advertisements and large and small construction sites can be seen everywhere. The whole region is still in the primary stage of vigorous development. After getting off expressway, we had to drive more than 30 kilometers of dusty country roads to reach our hotel. The scenery along the way switches back and forth between glamorous high-end residential areas and rural towns. To be exact, Howard Johnson Tan Yue Hotel no longer belongs to xunliao bay, but is called Shuangyuewan. Because it is located between two bays, it is named Shuangyue Bay. When the weather is fine, you can climb a local Daxing Mountain observation deck and see a long and narrow peninsula sandwiched between two bays. There is also a turtle spawning reserve near the observation deck. Of course, you are not allowed to see the real spawning grounds. You can only see a few turtles and specimens raised in the big pool. The conditions are very poor. Anyone who has been to any modern aquarium in China cannot but consider this place.

? Howard Johnson Tan Yue Hotel is located in the bay, facing the sea. This hotel is beautifully decorated. You can see the sea view from the transparent lobby, and you don't lose the luxury hotel in Yalong Bay at all. Although it is sunbathing during the day, it is finally not stuffy with the sea breeze. I came across this hotel on salted fish. Many landlords of hotel apartments rent their own rooms on salted fish, which is half cheaper than the hotel rooms booked on Ctrip. 80 square meters of two rooms and one living room, 400 yuan every night. Guests staying in apartments are treated exactly the same as those staying in hotels. Swimming pools, children's playgrounds, cinemas, gyms and KTV are all free to use. Of course, due to price restrictions, it was assigned to the nearest building. In addition to seeing the sea view, it also includes a large piece of scene scenery. Arriving at the room, Xiao V couldn't wait to put on his bathing suit and clamored to go swimming. There are three swimming pools in the hotel, the largest of which is the children's swimming pool, with a water depth of only 1 m2. The beach, water slide, water curtain cave and other things that children like are carefully arranged. But there are so many mosquitoes here that the poor little V head is exposed to the water, and soon he is stung by a big eye bag. The nearest to the seaside is an endless swimming pool, which has been basking in the sun all day. You can keep warm at night, so you don't have to worry about the sun burning your skin excessively. Lying by the pool, you can see the sea and look back at the whole hotel. We spent the next few nights in this endless swimming pool. On the second day of check-in, it's raining, so you can try to kill time in the children's playground and gym of the hotel. The only dissatisfaction is that the real beach is really unsatisfactory, saying that the beach is a bit reluctant, and the gravel beach is more accurate. Facing the open sea, the wind and waves are particularly heavy and choppy. Xiao V, who likes the sea and the beach, will never want to play again after only a few minutes. Fortunately, there are enough entertainment projects in the hotel to make up for the shortage of nature. There is also a small infinity pool on the top floor of the hotel, probably imitating the Sands Hotel in Singapore. But it's too cold up there, and it's not suitable for going into the water now. Just taking pictures.

On the other side of Shuangyue Bay, the beaches and waves are much milder. Almost contracted by Vanke's real estate. At present, it has covered three phases, and the fourth phase is also under planning. We went to see the model room. Every household has a big balcony facing the sea. There are many apartments for rent here, many of which are searched on Tujia. The decoration is very distinctive and the price is a little cheaper. However, there seemed to be a big problem with the water supply in the community at that time. Water can only be supplied for 2 hours every day, and tankers line up to deliver water to the community every day. Otherwise, we might choose to live here.

? The last few days in Shuangyue Bay were the worst and the best. Either eat meat buns at the hotel for more than 20 yuan, or eat farmhouse-level seafood stalls outside the hotel. Fortunately, the landlord recommended a "Dongwan Steamed Seafood". After eating steamed seafood in Xiamen, I have been obsessed with it. The seafood in this humble shop is so clean that the digestive system of shrimp and shellfish does not need to be removed. It's a pity that there are few people and there are limited things to order. The porridge under it has not become soft and waxy. The price is not cheap either. If you order 8-9 kinds of seafood, the average person will be more than 80.

? It was not until we lived here for the last whole day that we found that there was a big seafood market 5 kilometers away from us, and there were fairly simple kitchen utensils in the room. Every time we go to a new place, visiting the local vegetable market is one of our favorite things to do, and cooking with local ingredients is a unique travel experience. After visiting the market, I even regretted not finding it earlier. If there were not more attractive food waiting behind, I might really stay for a few more days. Not to mention the cheap price of seafood, the rough seabed also makes the seafood here exceptionally clean, with no sand at all. Then I bought onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. After simple cooking, the seafood dinner can be served. On the morning of check-out, the free-range eggs sent by Diandude were not wasted, and the seafood noodles were lying eggs, which was perfect.

? Driving directly from Shuangyue Bay to Shunde District, Foshan City, every foodie has to go to a place to worship God. Especially after watching the documentary "Looking for Shunde" in the Spring Festival, this place was accelerated to be mentioned as a tourist destination. Eating in Guangzhou, outside Fengcheng, although only a few tens of kilometers away from Guangzhou, but the food is self-contained, many famous Cantonese dishes originated in Shunde. There are Luchang Xiubo Garden (Shanzhai Changlong), Fengjian Water Town, Lumei Lake and so on. It was not planned (or because it was too hot), and there was only one car left to explore in just two days.

? For the convenience of eating, I originally wanted to live near Qinghui Garden, where the food is the most concentrated, but the nearest Xiangyunsha hotel is full, and another New World hotel is so wonderful that children can only stay if they go to the police station to get a certificate. So I chose Junlai Hotel, which is more than ten minutes' walk from Qinghui Garden, and the location is not bad. After staying in the hotel, I opened the map and saw many famous restaurants within walking distance. Let's have a look at the Qinghui Garden (pool) first. There are two old brands making double-skin milk near Gai Hua Road. We all agree that people's hearts are better than people's hearts, and milk tastes stronger.

The queuing scene of "excellent girl beef offal" next to Qinghui Garden is very spectacular. This shop is quite to my taste (that is, I like soft and rotten meat stewed in thick soup), and the train teacher thinks it is very general.

? After eating these three restaurants, it's time to eat. Not far from the hotel, "Neng Private Cuisine" is highly rated on the Internet. I'm afraid the waiter will still be eating when I navigate to my seat early. Waiting for dinner time, we have been studying the photos of dishes hanging on the wall, and each one looks delicious. Finally, we chose several dishes with the most Shunde characteristics. The freshly baked roast goose is crispy, and the sweet and sour plum sauce is just enough to relieve boredom. This is not the same as the roast goose cooked by Mrs Goose, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Guo Rui.

? On the last day of free time, I ate morning tea in Shunde and saw the spectacular morning tea in the banquet hall for thousands of people.

? The lunch was left to Jun 'an to steam pigs. Jun 'an took root in the grass after watching the first movie "China on the Tip of the Tongue". Jun 'an Town is more than 20 kilometers away from Daliang District where we live, so it is not a problem to have a car. Navigation found a restaurant "Dabanqiao Farm" in Cai Landian. In front of delicious food, any adjectives are superfluous, but I only hope that I can eat more without bringing them back.

When I was eating, my stomach was a little weak, so I found the top "My Furniture Chef" in the public comment and drove away. At first, because parking was difficult, the proprietress loved to answer, and the environment was generally a little drumming. The food came, and I finally understood the reason why the proprietress was proud. The food reached a certain level. No matter what other conditions, there can be no shortage of diners.

On the contrary, the restaurants mentioned in Looking for Shunde, such as Mandarin Friends and Roasted Goose with Big Head Flowers, did not deliberately try (it was a weekend, for fear that the long queue would be too much). In fact, in Shunde, restaurants that are slightly famous are doing well. I can't say that the dishes are amazing, but there is absolutely nothing that is not delicious. This is probably the confidence of being called the food capital. I still feel a lot of regrets when writing travel notes (drooling while writing). I haven't had time to eat the famous sauna fish, clay pot rice and porridge hot pot, so let's go next time as a motivation.

? This trip is basically based on eating, and I can't wait to eat five meals a day. When I got home, my training teacher and I were surprised to find that our weight had not increased. I think I haven't eaten or tasted the staple food (porridge and rice) these days, for fear of taking up too much space in my stomach. In addition, Pu 'er tea never leaves our hands every day, which may also eliminate most greasy food. All restaurants with old fire soup should have soup first. Soup takes up space, and you feel full even if you don't eat much. This is why there are basically no fat people in Guangdong, a place full of delicious food.

After returning home, restore the black gourd and local desserts.

Small v travel list

? Even now that Xiao V has grown up, the travel goods that need to be specially prepared for her are becoming more and more simple, but the following are still essential: snacks, enough snacks, and snacks are definitely artifacts when driving on planes and long distances. Anyway, as long as enough snacks are prepared for Xiao V, she can always sit quietly and eat. Seaweed, puffs, milk slices, nuts ... every time you go out, you have to take up half a box. Of course, when these snacks are consumed, they can also provide more space for our return shopping. This time, I came back from Shunde with six local specialty zucchini, or various soups and cookies that can be preserved for a period of time. Usually I have to recite three or four books I like to read (now I am a big fan of Thomas the Little Train). After all, I don't want to eat snacks, and telling stories can calm the little girl down. Of course, the last killer's mace is dozens of episodes of "Piggy Peggy" videos stored in the mobile phone. When you are away from home, you don't have to strictly control the time of watching videos. Adults will be tired when you travel, let alone children. Just watch. Adults and children can relax.

Other necessary items include care: ear temperature gun, intravenous drip, band-aid, antidiarrheal, Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets, vitamin C water;

Life: diapers (usually you don't need diapers at home, but considering that sometimes you are very tired during the day and can't sleep at night, you will still use them when you go out every night. There are also diapers, urine pads, laundry soap, bath soap, bath towels, sleeping bags, sheets, portable electric kettles and floor mats.

Foodstuffs: milk bottles, milk powder, bibs, wet paper towels, soft towels, antibacterial hand sanitizer, small bowls, spoons, forks, small chopping boards, fruit knives and detergent;

Clothing: In addition to preparing several sets of clothes with different thicknesses according to the temperature of the destination, hats, sunglasses, slippers and swimsuits.

Usually these things that are not commonly used are put in different sorting bags, and those that are often used are kept at hand. Just put them in the box before you go out.

Children's air ticket right

? This is one of the benefits of China Merchants Bank's high-end credit card diamond card. Four free domestic air tickets for children (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) within the validity period of one year, which require direct flights, excluding transit and connecting flights. The reservation was successful and cannot be returned or changed. Moreover, after registering the child's information for the first time this year, the next three times must be used by the same person. Many people on salted fish transfer this right, and the general price is around 2000. I dare not buy it. After all, I can't buy all four plane tickets at once. Besides paying transfer fees, I usually have to pay a deposit. I feel that the protection of salted fish is not as perfect as Taobao. It is really difficult to defend rights when encountering a liar. At the beginning of this year, I bought this right (no longer sold) for 2,200 yuan in a micro shop doing parent-child travel. After all, it is a large company with certain security. The air ticket for Xiao V to and from Xiamen and Haikou is still much cheaper than buying children's air tickets directly. Diamond card holders also have the right to stay in high-end hotels at home and abroad, unlimited use of the national airport VIP lounge to board the plane and other benefits. If you often take your children to travel (the annual hard fee is 3600 yuan), it is still very cost-effective to get a diamond card. There is still a certain threshold for applying for a diamond card. Generally, the application conditions I found online all say that I need to have 50W deposit or wealth management products in China Merchants Bank, or the credit card of China Merchants Bank should reach 6W or above.
