Guangzhou is China’s most developed southern city. I went here and would have forgotten that I was in China if not for the obvious Chinese characters everywhere. Okay, okay, it’s impossible to forget. But the reason for my saying so was that my stay here was ultra-westernized. I stayed at a modern upscale hotel and ate western food. For a little over a week, I won’t be an authority on Chinese culture and authenticity. The best I could do is to share where I laid my little head to rest each night and where I had enjoyable nibbles (more like gobbles).
I didn’t specifically choose this hotel but that you to whoever did. This is by far my most favorite hotel that I have ever stayed at, including those during travels that I have done but not yet posted. Hilton Guangzhou Tianhe.
