Favorite thing: God materials shop near 6 Banyan temple, obviously these kind of shops are abundant when you visit the 6 Banyan temple. In front of the temple, you can see a galaxy of beggars following you for money, they follow everywhere you go. There are also monks, I heard a visitor yell "...he is a fake monk..." and then I heard the monk replied angrily "...@#$%^!&....you dare call me fake !!!...."

Favorite thing: Shop and God, is a tip about a shop in Guangzhou where God is involved. In fact, not many God in China but nowadays some peoples installed an altar inside or in front of their shops, it is believe God can bring good fortunes to their business. Although I don't know what kind of God it was but it is definitely a God.

Favorite thing: Dried snake skins, I have heard from 'aunties & uncles' that such materials are good for health, good for body, but it is disputed, some peoples think it is nonsense, but who cares, the responsibility of VTers is to upload photos and build tips, with or without facts is another issue.

Favorite thing: Poverty & Street Beggars, this kind of scene is not uncommon, I saw them hanging around especially on the skyway, footbridge or overpass. There was a young boy among them, around 12 years old, healthy, not a disable person, but he probably never had any opportunity to school, I saw him running bare foot, play and smiles in dirty clothes, I suppose there are still a lot peoples like him....

Favorite thing: San Yuan Li at night is a place where you can see a street full of tables eating drinking and night bazaar. Here is also a place for low cost accomodation, cost RMB120 double bed. If you have been to New Delhi's Paharganj (Main Bazaar), this is quite similar a Paharganj of Guangzhou.

Favorite thing: VTer's apartment is an apartment in Guangzhou, I visited this apartment and I did a VT-Meet here. VTer's apartment is not owned by VT, is not rented by VT, VTer's apartment is just a VTer's apartment. VT has a member live here and so it is a VTer's apartment, now I have just visited VTer's apartment in Guangzhou and so this is a tip of VTer's apartment. VTer's apartment is where I VT-Met another VTer. VTer's apartment is not designed specifically for the sole purpose of VT-Meet, VTer's apartment is a VTer's apartment, is just a VTer's apartment.

Favorite thing: 2100 years old Tomb of Zhao Mo also known as the Museum of the West Han Dynasty Mausoleum of Nanyue King, Zhao Mo was the ancestor of Cantonese peoples. The museum is worth a visit with more than a thousand pieces of artifacts on display. One of the artifacts was believed coming from ancient Seleucid-Parthian Persia (around 300BCE - 100BCE). The mueseum is built on the actual site of the mausoleum with the real tomb open for public viewing.
Entrance fee 12yuan.

Favorite thing: XiaJiu Lu (Shang Xia Jiu) Go Shopping! Yes this is the place where youngsters in trendy look hang around and also tourists. Trillions of shops, there are about 5 McDonald's and about 4 KFC here, and then many shops with semi-exotic names such as Walentino or Volentino. It is overall a very good place for endurance-shopping.

Favorite thing: Bookshop (Xin Hua) is a good place to 'lepak' at Guangzhou. Lepak means wasting time or spending your time freely. There are many bookshop of large size in GZ with probably 99.99% books in Chinese, books are all open for reading not as in Malaysia where most books were wrapped to ensure customers cannot read the content.
