Guangzhou - a city of contrasts

by sifrim - last update: Apr 17, 2004

Bamboo in the Orchid Garden
I was in Guangzhou on a business trip, but fortunately I found some time for siteseeing. Almost all the pictures are done in the first day (Sunday), after a 12 hours flight.

To be honest, the first meeting with the city was rather disapointing. The airport, the taxi driver trying to cheat, the weather (cloudy, later raining).
But then I started to see also the beautiful part of it: the parks, the kind people, the food, the markets.

Definitely, China is a place to be seen. It's so different!

 Please be aware that the mineral water is not necessarily drinkable. Some claiming mineral water is just filtered tapwater. Be safer, Buy only well-known brands (for example Wa-ha-ha or Watson's)
