Baigao Business Hotel-Yuancun

Big Guan Yin.

by Guantanamera

Apart from the gorgeous natural wonders, Xiqiao Shan's primary tourist attraction is a gigantic statue of Guan Yin, reminiscent of Hong Kong's famous Lantau Island Big Buddha. Sitting atop one of the highest points of Xiqiao Shan, Big Guan Yin is bronze plated and surrounded by a moat...

These are the restaurants...

These are the restaurants featured at the Hiyatt Hotel featured below. I think that there is something to suit any palate.

If this menu does not make your mouth water, lift your spirits, drive you to the kitchen, then I am terribly sorry for you, you are missing one of life's great pleasures.

Guangzhou (my new home!?)

by nedwobsamoht

"Small city boy to big city"

Where I'm from, Guangzhou seems like a mega city, with its multi level fly overs and cascading concrete skyline. My first night traveling by car from Hong Kong to Guangzhou through Shenzhen in January 2005 was a massive eye opener to me about the possibilities of life in other places besides my own small city home in South Australia. I never realised how "be all and end all" thinking existed within the normal citizens of my city (excluding the international students of course). I came to Guangzhou initially to meet my girlfriends' family but have enjoyed spending almost ever moment of it here. I say almost for the one thing that stresses me greatly is the type of toilet you will get anywhere in the city, its a gamble between sit down and squat down, I hate squating, I fall over cos my knees hurt. Apart from this I have had really good times here, cheap things to buy and nice inlaws who want to show me Guangzhou and the rest of China.

"I come here again"

I liked it enough last time to come back again during my uni break. This time for about 3 months. Despite paying the air fares its all good. I still cannot get enough of these flyovers. I love it, zipping around like the jetsens on spaghetti like roadways. More to write here cos Im still here...
