I have been busy, but I don't know that 2019 has passed for 10 months, and Guangzhou is gradually entering autumn. I have never felt autumn in Guangdong, but I actually feel the autumn wind at this moment.
In Guangzhou, not only is the weather changing, but also the appearance of Guangzhou's city. I have been living in the Laocheng District of Guangzhou, and I suddenly discovered that Guangzhou is welcoming people from all over the world with a new look. I decided to give myself a vacation to re-understand the beautiful city and delicious food of new Guangzhou.
When you come to Guangzhou, you must check in Zhujiang New City, the most prosperous business district in Guangzhou. I heard from friends that K11 is Guangzhou's trendy place and is known as Guangzhou's first shopping museum. It brings together the latest and interesting elements in Guangzhou. How can I not come for a stroll if I have no resistance to new and interesting things?
K11 often holds different exhibitions. Unconsciously, works of art appear around you. When you stroll around the mall, you often have the illusion of walking into an art exhibition. The decorations and decorations in the mall are very luxurious, feeling like they are surrounded by local tyrants, giving a golden and luxurious visual impact.
There is an Internet celebrity check-in exhibition here, which uses neon lights to create a different kind of light and shadow, creating a space for young life to release passion and vitality under the light and shadow. I like to take cool photos, how can I miss it!
Since this is a gathering place for trendy people, the exhibition certainly doesn't stop there. On the way, I happened to encounter a brand new check-in point: the online celebrity dressing room and noble dressing table, which attracted many young ladies to take photos.
When you are tired from taking photos, go to the cafe on the first floor of K11. There are so many well-known Internet celebrity stores in the shopping mall. You can tell by looking at the Perma Bistro door. For people like me who have to stop and rest for an hour or two, the coffee shops and milk tea shops in the mall are a blessing for me. Order a drink and cake, and then continue shopping when they are recharged.
There are also many exquisite bakeries in K11. Passing by the freshly baked croissants in the window of one of them immediately attracted me, even though I was hungry after just finishing a cake.
K11 is a shopping mall that has both good looks and many novel and fun elements. It is a good choice for a family to hang out or a couple to date during holidays. Or a single person like me can also date two or three girlfriends. Friends, in addition to shopping in many brand stores, you can also have a beautiful afternoon tea and chat about your thoughts!
I was tired from walking in K11 and it was time to check in to the hotel. Choosing a comfortable hotel can provide a good accommodation environment for the holiday. So this time I came to the Ascott Serviced Apartment in Guangzhou International Financial Center. The Ascott is located in the CBD business district. It is closely adjacent to Huacheng Square, K11 and other squares. The Guangzhou Library and Opera House are also within a few steps. You can reach it, and in the rooms on the higher floors of the apartment, you can enjoy the charming waist of the Guangzhou Tower up close.
The overall decoration style of the apartment is more modern. When you walk into the lobby, you will feel the spacious atmosphere and exquisite and fashionable layout.
When I saw the two small robots parked next to the front desk, I immediately became curious. I thought they were machines that provided directions or introductions, but the staff said that they were food delivery robots. If a customer orders, food will be delivered to the guest's room through the robot. When we were staring at the machine, suddenly the robot moved on its own and could speak very cute.
The room is a classic apartment-type hotel, with the kitchen, living room, room and separate bathroom room.
Looking at the semi-open kitchen composed of wood-grained wall cabinets and black marble flow tables, I suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since I worked outside often. The kitchen utensils in the kitchen were just enough for me to show off my skills and cook a few specialty dishes to celebrate this rare little holiday.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find a toaster for toast in the kitchen so that you could make a delicious Western breakfast in the morning.
In the modern decorated apartment, the color matching of the wooden furniture or sofa is very warm and comfortable. When you walk in, you feel like you have returned to your cozy little nest. The sofa occupies almost half of the living room. With the warm yellow lighting in the room, I just want to nest on it and have a good nap.
Standing on the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and looking out, looking out at the crowded Huacheng Square, K11 and Guangzhou Library, I unconsciously began to stare blankly. The room I lived in can still vaguely see the East Tower. I believe that after night, the lights will be bright. The night lights dot the entire city, and the scenery in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows will be even more charming.
The room is also intimately equipped with a Bluetooth audio device. For me who can't leave music, playing a piece of wonderful music is the most relaxing moment of the day.
In the room with floor-to-ceiling windows, the huge double bed is loose and soft, and the dim light gives people the illusion of home. The room has a lot of space, so it is relatively quiet. For light sleepers, this environment can ensure a good night's sleep.
Taking a beautiful bath in the oversized bathtub in the bathroom and playing a piece of wonderful music will definitely relieve the fatigue of the day.
While wandering around the apartment, I found a club that provides leisure and entertainment for residents. In the clean and spacious reading room, you can quietly read a book to pass the time. In the quiet environment, you can also conduct business negotiations or chat among friends.
There is also a minibar in the reading room. Make a cup of fragrant coffee, pick up a book, and in a quiet and well-lit reading environment, time will pass without realizing it.
In addition to the reading room, I am more interested in the fitness room and yoga room in the apartment. Whether it is for business travel or travel and vacation, sports are essential.
Because I often need to travel on business, I spend half of my time in hotels, so I am very surprised by the apartment-type hotels that can provide multi-element leisure facilities.
Swim in the swimming pool and look up at the transparent glass plate above. The sun shines through the glass and fills the entire pool, as if you are in the sea.
It is a small family private theater. It will be very interesting for a family of three to watch a movie here at night. It also provides entertainment facilities for children to play outdoors. Children will definitely have fun here.
Walking into the garden in the middle of the apartment, you can feel a touch of greenery in the oppressive urban atmosphere and relieve your tight heart.
There is a small outdoor golf course on this floor, which is also the most distinctive place of this Ascott.
Built on an open-air balcony, the lawn covers the entire terrace, the sand is enclosed with stones, and your feet are stepping on the undulating lawn. It seems to be really standing on a golf course with a hole in one. The open view from the terrace allows you to see the tall buildings next to it and the many green plants planted. It is not an exaggeration to call it a small sky garden.
It is said that this place is very popular among young couples, so it is very exciting to decorate it as a wedding venue.
Ascott Hotel is located in the CBD business district and is also very suitable for business people or travelers. The clubhouse on the 6th floor is a business working area. When traveling on a business trip, I always have to report work or organize information. At this time, if the hotel has a place that provides a public computer to access the Internet and print documents, it will be my first choice.
The apartment has a shuttle bus every day to pick up guests to designated places at regular times, such as the large Metro supermarket and some well-known office locations. You only need to make an appointment with the front desk in advance, so that guests who come to Guangzhou for the first time no longer have to worry about getting lost.
It is almost evening when the hotel comes out, but the lively level of the CBD business district has not diminished. There is an endless stream of people shuttling through several squares, as if they want to enjoy this rare weekend to the fullest. There are many fashionable and Internet celebrity restaurants in several bustling squares, all of which have received rave reviews. Of course, I have to go and try whether they are as good as the online reviews.
In order to feel Guangzhou more authentic, I still chose to "drink tea" and eat snacks. Diandude, located in Huacheng Square, is an authentic tea house in Guangzhou. The store decoration style looks very Chinese from the outside. The store name is hung at the door as a plaque, and the blue tiles and wooden windows are antique.
Continuing the ancient decoration outside the store, the tables and chairs of the Guangzhou-style tea house are elegant and clean under the warm yellow light. There are also golden hanging lights and ink-painting hanging lights on the ceiling. Not long after sitting down, a waiter brought a specially brewed tea set. The porcelain tea set with exquisite patterns glowed brightly after being soaked in water. The tea leaves that have been soaked in water immediately emitted bursts of tea fragrance and brewed a pot of good tea. It also takes a lot of effort, but to sigh a cup of good tea in such a comfortable environment makes you feel unconsciously happy.
Diandude is a traditional Guangzhou-style refreshment restaurant. As soon as you get the menu, you can't help but order all the snacks you want. The snacks in many teahouses only serve morning and afternoon markets, while Diandude serves them all day long. After placing an order, you drink the catechu for a while, and the dishes are served on the table.
Satay Money Tripe is the number one dim sum in Guangzhou. It has a strong satay flavor. The Money Tripe is large and delicious, and it is not difficult to chew. A cage of six pieces is sufficient, and the potato pieces placed under it are dipped in the soup. It makes people have endless aftertaste.
The soft and rotten chicken feet melt in the mouth and are very delicious. They are the favorite chicken feet taste when I was a child in my memory.
How can you miss the shrimp dumplings that must be ordered for morning tea in Guangzhou? The crystal clear skin is mixed with large mouthfuls of shrimp, which makes people feel that one bite is not satisfied enough.
Every time I drink tea and eat snacks, I always remember sitting around with my family when I was a child and ordering a few baskets of Shaomai snacks. The elders could chat for hours with tea. This seems to be an experience every Cantonese person has, no matter how Guangzhou changes, and these memories will always remain in our hearts.
After enjoying traditional Cantonese food, the lights are already on outside. Taking a walk on such a night to see the bustling city, its neon flashing, and its quiet side in the downtown area will also have a unique charm.
Walking along the embankment on the bank of the Pearl River, the breeze blowing gently on you, looking at the tall buildings on both sides of the river bank, changing from the cold during the day to warm lights, invisibly softening and embracing the cold image of the city, and removing it. Its cold mask is plated with a layer of warm light. In fact, I often fly around in every city, and I have seen many cities at night, but I still prefer the night in Guangzhou. Maybe this is the uniqueness of home.
Walking on the road, I saw all kinds of buildings lit up with dotted lights, all gathered in this quiet night at this moment, like stars shining in the Milky Way. Are there anyone still working in the room where the lights are still lit? The green plants along the coast are also set off by light strips on the trees, illuminating the shore along the road, and there is a faint cold light on the river.
A cruise ship passes by on the river from time to time, and the cruise ship is also wrapped in neon strips, reflected on the water, making it look beautiful when moving. From time to time, people floated from the boat to exclaim and laugh, probably because they were so shocked by the night view of Guangzhou that they couldn't help but marvel. In my opinion, the night view of the Pearl River is more beautiful than the Bund in Shanghai. Compared with the Bund, I can enjoy it more attentively.
In the dark night, the Guangzhou Tower is also outlined by the light on the tower. The colorful light lights up the entire tower, like a vertical rainbow shining in the center of the city. Many people gathered in the square under the Guangzhou Tower, including tourists and citizens walking. Most of them unconsciously gathered under this landmark to experience the leisure time of the city after their busy work.
Walking back after a walk, you can see the two east and west towers standing on the top of Huacheng Square when you are approaching the hotel. They are more outstanding among the high-rise buildings. The characteristic architectural shape adds a sense of loneliness to the night lights.
In addition to appreciating the beautiful scenery of the city's buildings, during the weekend holidays, I feel that comfort to the soul and soul is equally important. There is a unique building on Huacheng Square-Guangzhou Library. Here, you can find spiritual comfort.
The unique appearance is like books stacked irregularly, making people feel that walking into this building is like swimming in a sea of knowledge.
The opening of the Guangzhou Library in the CBD business district seems to be a reminder to busy office workers that it is time to recharge their souls. Wander leisurely in the ocean of books, let your soul soak in the poetry and flowers, sing softly, slowly taste the charm of poetry and songs, and carefully weave colorful dreams. No matter where I go, I like to visit the local bookstore or library. I feel that only when I pick up the book can my heart be calm. I can feel the slowing down time in the words.
There is reading space on each floor of the library. Sitting by the window with your favorite book, holding a book and a cup of tea alone to feel the atmosphere of slowing down. In fact, the content of the book is not the most important thing. What is needed is the romantic feeling of holding a paper book in hand. The paperiness of the book often gives the soul the most direct sense of security.
Another well-known building in Huacheng Square is the Guangzhou Grand Theater. If you come at night, you may be obscured by the dazzling buildings around you. At night, it is low-key, as if it is chatting with you about art.
The Guangzhou Grand Theater is opposite the Guangzhou Library. It was designed by world-renowned architectural designer Zaha Hadid. The Guangzhou Grand Theater has been rated as one of the top ten opera houses in the world. Its appearance is mainly gray. At night, it can't compare to the gorgeous lights of Xiao Man Waist, but if you approach it, you will be attracted by its depth.
When I woke up the next day, the apartment also provided a buffet breakfast to meet the needs of different guests. The clean and elegant dining environment, coupled with the delicious breakfast that I carefully prepared, gave the day a good mood starting from this moment.
Spend the two-day weekend leisurely, give yourself some time to relax in your busy life, and feel, appreciate and explore the new changes in Guangzhou.
I am a native of Guangzhou. I have a deep feeling of honor when I watched the place where I grew up getting better and better. The increasing number of high-rise buildings and the constant addition of trendy elements remind me that I am growing up, and so is Guangzhou. I believe that the next time I look closely at Guangzhou, the opportunity will not be too far away, and I look forward to seeing more different aspects of Guangzhou next time.
This short holiday to get to know Guangzhou again was thanks to my choice to stay at Ascott Serviced Apartment in Guangzhou International Financial Center, giving this holiday a more perfect experience. It is very suitable for business travel or parent-child travel. Now there are even greater discounts when registering for Yaxing members!
