I thought I could eat all over Guangzhou and Shunde in 3 days, but I lost.

Guangzhou is worth writing about - there are so many delicious places, but here is the only one among the cities I have been to so far that makes me feel that even if I live here for a month , eat it every day, and you may not be able to finish it.

I thought that having morning tea in Guangzhou would be considered a "visit", but I found out that there are also: stews, desserts, raw porridge, dim sum... The variety of dishes tempted me. The taste buds are so delicious that you can’t help but eat them from morning till night.

In addition to eating, the ancestral style of the recently popular "Operation Icebreaker", the Chinese-style "Notre Dame de Paris", and the wonderful international circus are also breathtaking... Come and join me Let’s eat and shop!

Of course you have to have morning tea when you come to Guangzhou! Foodies have long been fascinated by the Guangzhou people’s habit of having morning tea. When they arrived at Dian Du De Tea House, they truly felt that the morning in Guangzhou started with a cup of two things.

One cup - one pot of tea. After sitting down, the clerk will ask you what kind of tea you want to drink. Pu'er, Tieguanyin, etc. are all available for you to choose from. While waiting for snacks, I looked at the fire in the tea set and drank tea. It was so pleasant.

I ordered signature dishes such as vinegar chicken feet, Liwan Tingzai porridge, and gold-medal fried dough sticks. I recommend everyone to try the chicken feet and porridge. The vinegar soaked in the chicken feet tastes very refreshing. It is different from the salty aroma of marinating and the spiciness of roasting. It is sour and cool, giving people a unique experience.

The Tingzi porridge is very rich in ingredients such as floating skin and egg shreds. The porridge is thick and thick. Every spoonful is scooped up and put into the mouth. The taste is delicate and smooth.

The golden shrimp dumplings have thin skin and fresh and tender shrimp meat. Eating four of them is enough for those with a small appetite.

The new element pumpkin pudding is an unexpected surprise. The pumpkin puree is finely chopped, and the outer shell is wrapped with raisins and celery. It is the last snack of the morning tea, which makes people feel good in the morning. A touch of joy brought by dessert.

After finishing the meal, I stood up and prepared to leave. I was surprised to realize that the place around me was gradually filling up with people. It was as lively as lunch time in Wuhan, and the crowds were bustling. It can be seen that morning tea is really very important in Guangzhou’s food culture. A rich and colorful stroke.

It was already noon when we came out of the teahouse, walked around, and walked to Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. When we arrived in the Xiguan area where Shangxiajiu is located, there was a delicacy that we had to eat, and that was Chen Tianji.

His family only makes three items: ancestral fish skin, steamed pork cheong fun with king soy sauce and traditional Xiguan Tingzi porridge. The fish skin was smooth and refreshing, and the sesame seeds were abundant. The condiments were just right. I ate them all in a short time, not even the peanuts were left.

The rice rolls have no fillings and are surprisingly delicious. Each piece of rice skin is translucent and crystal white. With the combination of black soybean oil and sesame seeds, it is simple and yet delicious. It is addictive. "mouth".

In the afternoon When it’s time for tea, find a tea restaurant to curl up and spend a leisurely afternoon, that’s it. This Guangjiu restaurant can be seen by taking the subway directly to the Martyrs Cemetery Station and going up to the first floor.

Geely Pork Chop Croissant and 200% Chocolate are the signature products of this restaurant. From the moment I walked in to the moment I sat down, I noticed that almost every table had such standard items.

The croissants were baked to a crispy texture, with crumbs falling out every time you took a bite. After a while, crumbs fell all over the table. Such a slightly embarrassing food makes people want to pick up the dregs on the table and put them in their pockets while others are not paying attention.

A huge piece of pork chop is fried and sandwiched in crispy dough. The chewiness of the meat and the toughness of the skin are combined into one.

Taking another sip of chocolate, the cup full of chocolate powder almost flies out when the cup is tilted, and a sense of satisfaction comes over me!

This old shop was founded in 1998. I accidentally gained it while driving by. Looking at the whole street, this is the most crowded place. Following my foodie instinct, I greeted the driver, pulled over and got out of the car.

The Salt and Pepper Mango Shrimp is a must-order at every table. There are two types, with and without paste. Unfortunately, I arrived a step too late, and the ones with paste were sold out. A portion without cream costs 45 yuan. There are about seven or eight of them. The outer shell is salty and fragrant. Paired with a bottle of Blue Girl beer, it is hearty.

No. 907, Longjin East Road

Many People feel that this place has the feeling of an old-fashioned food stall in Guangzhou:

The bright and smooth restaurant, with green and white checkered tiles, people coming from north to south, sitting in groups around various tables, some The man spoke Cantonese with his bare back, and night fell unknowingly. In Guangzhou, it seems that there will never be night in the popular sense. This city does not need sleep or rest.

At 23:00, tables and chairs were neatly arranged at the door of Dayang. Everyone invariably lowered their heads and scooped up the coconut-braised bamboo chicken in front of them. Exchange a word or two from time to time. There was no air conditioning on the open-air street, only a small electric fan swaying from side to side, barely bringing a hint of coolness.

I thought that the men and women at this table were all here to travel and check in like me. However, after talking to the couple sharing the table, I discovered that they were authentic Guangzhou people.

"Then do you guys come here to eat on a regular basis?"

"Yes, we come here to eat at Dayan when we have nothing to do. Their stew here is very good. ”

This well-known time-honored stew shop has been open for more than 30 years. It is filled with chicken, wolfberry, yam and other medicinal materials. When you open the coconut cover, the aroma of coconut and chicken comes to your nostrils. It tastes sweet and warm to the stomach.

After taking this sip, I immediately understood why many Guangzhou people would rather live without bamboo and eat without meat, but never eat without soup.

/ A bowl of sugar water /

I have heard of the reputation of this restaurant that has been open for more than 30 years. When I passed by at 23:00 in the middle of the night, I was still surprised by the crowd queuing at the door.

His store is cool and only accepts cash, so friends who want to check in must go! must! You have to prepare change in advance, otherwise you can only watch people take away bowls of food while standing helplessly on the street. I only exchanged 20 yuan in change after asking around.

Is 20 yuan enough? If you only order one portion, it's enough. A portion of the signature Phoenix milk paste costs 14 yuan. At the moment of entry, the collision of milk and eggs blooms on the taste buds, and the sweetness surges out and wraps around the tip of the tongue, dense and smooth.

The decoration of Baihua Dessert is also very interesting. After a group of people bought their food at the stall on the right, they took their plates and went to the store on the left to eat. There is no air conditioning, not even windows or glass doors. There is only an old-fashioned green ceiling fan spinning in the air. You can choose to share a table or sit at the table facing the street.

If a warm milk paste is not enough to relieve the heat, you can go to the ice shop next to you and get a bowl of taro ball ice. Their ice making machine is very old and small. As soon as the button is touched, it pops out, just like the shaved ice I ate on the street when I was a child. It is very nostalgic.

The taro balls are all freshly made, and you can choose to add milk tea or lemonade, as well as ingredients such as aiyu and red beans. They are rich in combination, chewy, soft and glutinous, and have an endless aftertaste.

The table is filled with ice and desserts. The people sitting next to you may be strangers, but everyone has the same experience of this sweetness, whether it comes from a serving of milk paste or double skin milk. , these bowls of sugar water are the best sweet magic to save Guangzhou’s summer nights. Summer in Guangzhou is really sweet.

/ An Exotic Cuisine /

This is a Vietnamese restaurant - emm... I know that the OS in everyone’s heart at this moment must be me Why do you recommend other cuisines to me when you come to Guangzhou Guide?

I would say that Cantonese food is generally not too spicy. If you find it a little too sweet, you can try some exotic dishes. I believe that Guangzhou people, not to mention Wuhan people who are heavy-mouthed, will sometimes want to try other flavors. Otherwise, when I arrived at this store at 2:30 in the afternoon, I would not have been told that I still had to wait for a table...

The Vietnamese sesame oil chicken is the signature: covered with sesame oil, a whole chicken It looks shiny and smooth, very attractive. The dipping ingredients such as lime and pepper are served in a small bowl. Squeeze some lemon juice onto the chicken to make it fragrant. Those with a heavy taste can dip some pepper into it for a unique spicy taste.

Hue Pho: 35 yuan per portion, a large bowl that can be eaten by two people. The soup is delicious and has a slight sour and spicy taste. It is full of beef and each piece is of uniform thickness. It is very cost-effective.

When I came out after eating, I walked along the street and found that there was a Japanese restaurant, Korean restaurant, and even African food just a few steps away. After checking the reviews, they all praised the authentic and delicious food. I also met many foreigners living here on the street. The expressions on everyone's faces were warm and friendly.

I think, whether it is economic development or historical legacy, it is ultimately because of this city’s extremely high tolerance that such a rich food culture has emerged here!

Of course, in addition to eating, eating, Besides eating, I am also fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Guangzhou.

Must-visit TOP1: City Landmark - Canton Tower

When going to a city, you must first visit its landmark building. I believe everyone is familiar with the "small waist" Canton Tower.

I checked the sunset time that day and bought tickets for the 18:00~20:00 session. While riding the Ferris wheel, I saw the entire city's process from Tianguan to dark, and the red sunset glow. Covering the whole city, that moment was indeed a very romantic moment during the journey.

In addition to the Ferris wheel, Canton Tower also has the world's highest vertical deceleration ride - Speedy Sky. It took me a long time to mentally build up before I dared to go up. Although it was not as scary as I imagined, when the seat rose to the highest point, paused and then came down, it still felt very exciting. If you bought a 488-meter ticket, it is worth a try. !

Tips for foodies: The time to enter the Canton Tower is divided into several sessions, with the earliest admission time and the last admission time. Some amusement facilities and projects will be suspended depending on weather conditions, so it is recommended that you book tickets one day in advance. There are cost-effective group purchase prices on major travel apps, and the prices are different at each altitude.

Must-visit TOP2: Exotic style - Stone Chamber Sacred Heart Cathedral & Shamian Island

Due to historical and cultural reasons, Guangzhou has left many exotic buildings. The Sacred Heart Cathedral, one of the four Gothic churches in the world along with Notre Dame de Paris and Cologne Cathedral, is located in Guangzhou.

It was extremely hot in the afternoon when I arrived, but when I walked into the church and saw everyone sitting in rows devoutly listening to the words of the host, my mood naturally calmed down.

Looking at every part of the church, both the walls and pillars are made of granite, which is understated and gorgeous.

Shamian Island also has a strong European style. It was ceded to the British and French powers after the Opium War, so many buildings here have obvious European styles.

When you get off the sightseeing bus, you can see this ancient forest across a small bridge. If you get closer, you will be transported into a foreign movie, in a building. It’s so pleasant to walk among European-style buildings and green trees.

Frankly speaking, although the city we live in also has concessions, in comparison, the concession style in Guangzhou is more primitive. Perhaps it is also related to the fact that they are concentrated in areas surrounded by water, while Wuhan is commercial. It is more modern and has a different charm, so when you come to Guangzhou, I highly recommend you to experience it.

Tips for foodies: The above two places are far apart. If you travel in this kind of weather, you can choose to take a sightseeing bus. Tickets can be purchased online and verified with a QR code on site. One ticket is applicable to the Guangzhou Museum. Tower and other lines.

Must-visit TOP3: Chimelong International Circus

When it comes to going to Guangzhou, the first reaction of friends around me is to recommend Chimelong. This time I bought a package ticket for Chimelong Wildlife World and International Circus.

There are many animal species in the wildlife world: leopards, golden monkeys, flamingos... It is worth mentioning that the koala park is really surprising! There are a lot of koalas inside, which fully satisfies your wish to see koalas in China without having to go across the ocean to Melbourne.

What I want to give everyone the most is Chimelong International Circus. "The world's largest international circus with high standards" - this name is really not just a boast. The performance lasted for more than an hour and left people unsatisfied. The choreography was so beautiful that often a line of birds flew across the sky...

It can be said that I was almost exhausted by the time I walked. One day, on the way to watch the circus, I suddenly felt that no matter how far I walked, it was worth it. When I woke up early and yawned all day long, the actors in the ballroom performed tricks that were difficult to describe accurately in words, such as leaping and turning, which made people instantly "awake". , Chimelong Circus’s 7,000-person venue was almost full, and it’s not without reason.

Foodie tips: It is recommended that you rent a car and drive yourself, or book a hotel near Chimelong. If you transfer from subway to bus, you still have to walk a very long distance after getting off the bus. If you want to visit the water park, fun world and animal world, one day is not enough. There are no power banks available for rent in Chimelong, so your mobile phone must be equipped with sufficient power.

Thought it was over here? No, no, no, this trip, I also went to Shunde!

"Eat in Guangzhou and cook in Shunde." As one of the world's gastronomic capitals named by the United Nations, it is only 8 minutes away from Guangzhou by intercity high-speed rail!

Guangzhou and Shunde are two completely different cities. Guangzhou has a stronger urban atmosphere. In the second half of the night when the clock turns, you can still see many dessert shops and food stalls crowded with people, just like a city that never sleeps. There was a lot of entertainment and entertainment, it was so lively.

Many street corners in Shunde have the shadow of Guangdong ancestral temple culture. Walking among them is peaceful and soothing.

The most common thing between the two is the endless delicacies. If you have 2 to 3 days, I recommend you come to Guangzhou. In this city with such a high dining density and delicious food everywhere, just walking into a teahouse or buying a snack on the street is enough to make you feel uncomfortable. This trip is in vain.

If you have enough time, go for a walk in Shunde. These two places are worth a special trip just for the food and will definitely leave you with endless aftertaste.

On this trip, apart from eating, drinking and having fun, what impressed me deeply was the way every Guangzhou person takes morning tea seriously - just like the people in Wuhan take morning tea seriously for decades. "Piety", but in comparison, the former will be used for tea gatherings, the pace is slower, and one morning tea can often last half a morning, while the latter mostly eats happily and walks in a hurry.

On the high-speed train from Guangzhou back to Wuhan, I posted this in a circle of friends, quoting the second half of a couplet I saw at the door of an old teahouse in Guangzhou: "Tao Kan cherishes flying, Xia Yu cherishes inches, the most pity It’s time in a cup. ”

I think that we may not be able to drink a pot of tea every morning, but we can also infuse the spirit of “cherishing the moment” into eating a portion of tofu skin or mixing it. In a portion of hot dry noodles, you can experience the tenderness and comfort brought by life and food.
