Packing List
by heplion
Anything you forget you can buy here!!! The Guangzhou Walmart!!
When this store was first built some rather large blunders were made. 1st, they shipped the building over, but when it got there, it seemed that none of the Guangzhou construction companies knew what to do with it. So Walmart had to ship over an Construction crew to help with the assembly. Then when they were stocking the store, it didn't seem to occur to them that the items labels needed to be in Chinese, not English....When they finally figured out that this was contributing to the low sales, they made the change...
Fruit Lover's Paradise in Guangzhou
by Confucius about Fruity Mix
This cosmopolitan cafe serves tropical fruit desserts, juices, as well as international entrees featuring your favorite fruits.
There are currently 5 branches in Guangzhou, 5 in Beijing, and a new branch just opened in Changsha (Hunan province).
The restaurants are very clean and have strict "No Smoking" sections so that you can enjoy the complete ambience.
The friendly staff is mostly recent college graduates and the newest employees wear black T-shirts that say "Bite Me" in Chinese on the back.
(I inquired; the shirts are still not for sale!) I ordered the Italian spaghetti with papaya and meat sauce. Grated papaya is spread on top of the spaghetti under the cheese, combining with the meat sauce to create a tasty entree. (28 RMB)
The mango pizza is very good and comes in two sizes.
I also ordered the "Fruity Mix Fried Rice" which uses a light jasmine rice flavored with finely chopped fruits including pineapple, cantaloupe, and raisins. It definitely reminded me of sweet Kashmir style rice dishes served at Hong Kong restaurants specializing in northern India cuisine. (22 RMB)
I washed it all down with fresh chilled mango juice and an additional glass of fresh chilled guava juice. (I can never drink just one!)

Within it's northernmost district called Henan, you can visit the Haizhuang Gongyuan, a large park that has an extensive Buddhist monastery called Haizhuan Si...
