On November 9, 2019, I first checked on Qunar to Go and Flightdog which airline was the most appropriate time and the price was cheaper. Then I purchased a round-trip ticket for China Eastern Airlines to Guangzhou two months in advance, at CNY1480 per person. 18:30 MU9313 Hongqiao T2 to Guangzhou Baiyun T1 Terminal.

On November 10, 2019, we went to Diandude, Qiandeng Lake in Foshan with our colleagues and their family for breakfast. We were called after waiting for a few minutes, unlike in Shanghai where we had to queue for a long time. The four people ordered the signature red rice sausage, big fried dough sticks, chicken feet, beef tripe, mango coconut cake and a bite of marble. This was the first time I saw such big fried dough sticks. Unfortunately, I ordered too many and couldn't eat it. The fried dough sticks were packed and taken away by my colleagues, but I didn't eat the special big fried dough sticks.

After eating, take the Guangfo Line directly to the Zumiao Station. You will reach the Zumiao Station by walking one or two hundred meters. Before you reach the Zumiao, you will pass by a Shunde Shuangpi Milk store. Because you have to go to Shunde later, you will not go in to eat. Save your stomach for other delicacies. The ancestral temple was built from the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty and gradually improved into a temple building with local characteristics during the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, in the ancestral temple, you can also watch wonderful traditional performances-lion dances, martial arts, etc. The ancestral temple, along with the Chen Family Temple in Guangzhou and the Dragon Mother Temple in Yuecheng, Zhaoqing, is listed as the three treasures of ancient architecture in Lingnan. It is a cultural relic under key national protection. Tickets for the ancestral temple are 20 yuan. You can choose to purchase tickets at the ticketing hall or scan the QR code on WeChat to purchase tickets. As soon as you enter the gate of the ancestral temple, you will see the Ip Man Hall on the left and right. Friends who know Wing Chun will definitely know Ip Man. Friends who love martial arts may wish to go in and visit it to learn more about the life of a generation of masters. Next in is the Nanquan Ancient Temple. The stele corridor on the left is being repaired, so I went directly to the Huang Feihong Memorial Hall. I thought there were only Ye Wen Hall, Nanquan Ancient Temple and Huang Feihong Memorial Hall in the ancestral temple. There was nothing else. I just waited at the entrance of the memorial hall for more than an hour to watch the lion dance performance. In fact, I should visit the Foshan Historical and Cultural Exhibition Hall and Kong Shengyuan first, and then wait to see the lion dance performance. There is a lion dance performance in the square at the entrance of the memorial hall every day at 14:30 and 15:30 p.m.. Although it is called a lion dance performance, the first part is a martial arts performance, and the last part is a real lion dance performance. You can sit on all sides or watch the performance, but the lion faces the Huang Feihong Memorial Hall. Sitting there allows you to see the lion's performance more comprehensively. There are also Foshan Historical and Cultural Exhibition Hall, Kongsheng Garden, etc. in the ancestral temple.

After visiting the ancestral temple, we go out and walk to Lingnan Tiandi. During this period, we will pass a snack street with all kinds of snacks, especially Mangong Wan, which is very unique. Because time is tight, it is a pity that I don't have time to taste the delicious food on the snack street. Lingnan Tiandi has a large area of Lingnan residential style buildings dating from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. However, the distribution is relatively scattered and it is not easy to find. Some old buildings are flooded by various restaurants with a strong commercial atmosphere, so it is easy to miss if you don't pay attention. Some old buildings, such as Jane's Villa, are not open to the public at all, which is quite disappointing.

After visiting Lingnan Tiandi, you can move to nearby Lingnan Station or Platon City. Lingnan Station is currently one of the highest-end shopping malls in Foshan, bringing together a variety of Internet celebrity restaurants and Internet celebrity milk tea shops. For those who are pursuing cost-effectiveness, you can go to the Platon City Mall, or the nearby Beixiang Garden to try the big and fragrant fried dumplings, go to Yingji Noodle House to try the fresh shrimp wonton, and Minxin Laopu's classic Shunde dessert. These are all time-honored brands in Foshan, and the food inside is also quite unique and the prices are very favorable! I first ate Yingji Noodles with Crab Seeds and Shrimp Wonton Noodles (CNY23), and then went to the nearby Minxin Old Shop and ordered fried fresh milk (CNY13) and red bean and lotus seed double skin milk (CNY15). I like desserts and think they taste good.

On November 11, 2019, I got off Zhongda Station (839 meters walk from Exit A) Dafui Tea Restaurant (Shop 02 and Shop 03 on the first floor of No. 153 - 3, Xingang West Road) This house was recommended by a friend in Guangzhou who lived nearby. I arrived there at ten o'clock and was just about to open. As the first and only customer, I ordered a cup of mandarin ducks, a walnut bun and a cream pig (CNY40). Personally, I felt that the walnut bun was a bit too sweet.

After breakfast, go to the South Campus of Sun Yat-sen University (2 hours), and you can enter the campus by swiping your ID card and face. Sun Yat-sen University is very large. Due to time constraints, I only visited the South Campus, which has a relatively historical heritage. After walking through the end and leaving the school gate, you will find the Pearl River. The scenery is very good and you can see the river view.

After watching the river view, I went back to Zhongda and took the subway to Dexian Tea Company (101, Building B2, UP Zhigu Creative Park, Jude North Road)(1578 meters walk from Exit C1 of Chigang Station, Metro Line 8). I ordered a thousand pistachio layers, Brebo Rizhao Milk Tea (CNY41). I forgot to ask the store to reduce blood sugar. It's so sweet.

Walk 230 meters to Datang Station, take No. 200 Road, stop 4, get off Xiancun Middle Road Station, walk 640 meters, Atute Coffee on the 36th floor of Yuexiu Financial Building Station, and watch Pearl River New City. The air quality was not good that day, and it didn't feel very clear. Walk 1.5 kilometers to the Guangdong Province Museum and Guangzhou Library, walk to Huacheng Square to shoot the Guangzhou Tower and Grand Theater. For dinner, my classmates invited me to the nearby Heyuan. The service was quite good. After eating, I sent you to the entrance of the mall.

On November 12, 2019, Metro Line 1 walked 160 meters to Exit D of Changshou Station to Liyin Rice Noodles for breakfast. I ordered the "Cai Lan Set Package"(CNY29.80), which contained a Liyin Ace Rice Noodles and a bowl of Liwan Boat Congee. Personally, I felt that it was more Q than Yinji Rice Noodles and was more delicious.

After breakfast, walk 1.3 kilometers to Yongqingfang. You can see many protected buildings in Guangzhou City or Guangdong Province along the way. Yongqingfang contains Bruce Lee's ancestral home (closed every Monday) and the Nian Yue Post Office. Friends who like opera can also visit the Cantonese Opera Museum next door (closed every Monday), and then walk to Zhan Tianyou's former residence. Zhan Tianyou's former residence (closed to the public every Monday) is located on the very inconspicuous Shierfu West Street. If you are not careful, you may miss it.

Walk 630 meters to Huangsha Station, Line 6, stop 1, and get off at Cultural Park Station, Exit E. Walk 660 meters to Lan Kwai Fong in Shamian. Eat the signature special dishes of braised baby pigeon and stewed snow clams with papaya (CNY66.80) If you have a membership in Lan Kwai Fong, you can save more than ten yuan on these two items. Originally, I planned to go to the White Swan for afternoon tea, but lunch was finished almost two o'clock and I wasn't hungry yet. So I went to the White Swan Hotel and asked the waiter at the door when the afternoon tea ended. She replied that it was five o'clock in the afternoon. However, when I went after four o'clock, I was told that the snack maker would get off work at two thirty in the afternoon, which means that I could order food before two thirty, but not after that. Five o'clock refers to the time to finish the afternoon tea, so I missed the afternoon tea at the White Swan Hotel. If you want to go, you can try fresh shrimp dumplings, skin-skinned chicken egg tarts, shark's fin dumplings in soup, and honey chicken feet. The buildings in Shamian are all typical Western buildings, and I personally like them. The thing I like most during this trip to Guangfo is Shamian. It feels different from the noisy big cities, but it is more peaceful and exotic.

Shamian walked to Shangxiajiu Commercial Pedestrian Street for shopping and eating. During this period, you can pass through the former site of Guangdong Customs Building and the Postal Expo Hall. Shangxiajiu is similar to Shanghai's Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street, with many shops. I went to Yinji Rice No. 79 Shangjiu Road (near Guangfu Road) and ordered a piece of Huang Rice No. 23. Personally, I felt that it was not as delicious as Liyin's. Later, while wondering whether to go to Xiaobingsheng in Xicun, I saw a shop called Xiguan Leishu and ordered a handmade sesame paste (CNY8). I thought the taste was not bad. Seeing that it was getting late, I made my way home.

On November 13, 2019, Panqun Snack Shop (No. 73 Jiangpu West Road) Old Station Rice Noodles. This shop is difficult to find. In the alley, there is a very inconspicuous small shop. The name of the shop is also written in chalk and it is very light. After eating a portion of beef powder (CNY10), at a glance, it is basically local residents eating breakfast there. Fengqiao Chicken Foot King (No. 68 Jiangpu West Road), this family sells chicken feet by the weight, and it is inconvenient to carry chicken feet to play Xiqiao Mountain, so he had to give up. Fengwei Sandjiyaki (No. 5, Xisi Lane, Xiqiao High Street) is one lane away from Bianqun Snack Shop. This store has been searching for a long time and does not open until twelve noon. Because we have to go to Xiqiao Mountain, there is no time to wait until they open the door, so I can only give up. In order to find those restaurants to eat, I went around and went to Xiqiao Mountain, so I decided to finish lunch and went to Xiqiao Mountain. I found Longhui Snack Shop (No. 2 Xiqiao Wenming Road) and ordered Frog Clay Pot Rice (CNY32). It was not as delicious as I imagined. It was not braised. I personally like braised Frog Chicken, so I should choose cured clay pot rice.

After having enough to eat and drink, I rushed to Xiqiao Mountain Scenic Area. Foshan Xiqiao Mountain Scenic Area includes Nanhai Guanyin Cultural Garden (Baofeng Temple) Scenic Area, Tianhu Park Scenic Area, Baiyundong Scenic Area, Biyu Cave Scenic Area, Cuiyan Scenic Area, Shiyanyan Scenic Area, Jiulongyan Scenic Area, Taohuayuan Scenic Area, the attractions are scattered, so it is recommended to take a sightseeing bus to visit. The scenic spot ticket is CNY55, and the sightseeing ticket is CNY20. You can choose where to get off and visit the sightseeing ticket. There is a bus every ten to fifteen minutes for each attraction. Therefore, it is recommended to plan the tour route reasonably, because I don't know Shi Yanyan will get off work at 16:30 in the afternoon. It's too late to go when I want to go. Fortunately, I have to go to the big attractions with better scenery. Jasper Cave is temporarily closed to the public due to a collapse. The ones that personally feel that the scenery is good are Nanhai Guanyin Cultural Garden (Baofeng Temple) Scenic Area, Tianhu Park Scenic Area, and Biyu Cave Scenic Area. The scenic area closes at 17:30, and you basically go shopping until it is close before leaving by car. If a friend who goes to Xiqiao Mountain early in the morning suggests that he can also visit the film and television city and Tingyin Lake Scenic Area near the scenic area to see the pictures posted by friends and the scenery is good.

For dinner, we had Brother Niu's beef recommended by locals (Four Seasons Square, Qiaojin Highway, Xiqiao Town), I ordered Bujian Tianhe Niu Snowflake (CNY93). Bujian Tianhe is the meat under the belly of the cow, which has a lot of lean meat. If you have not eaten Chaoshan hot pot, please ask the waiter to help me with it. I have never eaten Chaoshan hot pot. If I have no experience, I poured the vegetables into rice soup first. The correct way to eat should be to stew the meat first, and then put the vegetables when putting the porridge. Moreover, the time for rinsing is also very particular. If the time is wrong, the meat will get old. I heard from a friend that the beef in this house was slaughtered on the same day. It was very fresh and the rice soup was also very white. The taste is not bad, quite authentic. If there are many people going, it's best to call first and ask if you want to make a reservation first.

On November 14, 2019, walk 370 meters from Exit B of Yide Road on Line 6 and start visiting the Sacred Heart Cathedral, the most magnificent and distinctive Shishi Church in the Catholic Diocese of Guangzhou (opening hours 8:00 to 17:00). The Sacred Heart Church of the Stone Room is very majestic and is a representative of typical Western architecture. Friends who like Western architecture can take more photos. Walking into the interior of the church, there are colorful skylights and glass windows inside, and the sun shines down, as if the sky has cast colorful light on the world. You will feel calm in the church.

After visiting the Sacred Heart of the Stone Chamber, I walked to the Dafo Temple on Beijing Road. The vegetarian zhai inside is very good. I ordered honey pepper monkey mushroom, iron plate rice cake and red bean raw Nanguo. In fact, one person can be full with one dish, because the amount of the dishes is quite large and the taste is really not disappointing. Especially the red bean raw Nanguo, which is moderate in sweetness and very crispy. It is the best red bean cake I have ever eaten in my life. The fee for two dishes and one cake plus tea is CNY95. There is a tall Buddha statue and a Buddhist Hall in the Great Buddha Temple. There seems to be a Buddhist activity that day, and many believers are volunteering.

After that, I rode to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. Tickets purchased through WeChat were CNY9, and window purchases were CNY10. Personally, I felt that there was nothing inside, so I could just take photos in the building outside.

After visiting the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, walk to the Western Han Dynasty Nanyue King Museum (9:00 - 17:30) at No. 867 Jiefang North Road, full ticket is 10 yuan. Since the tomb of the King of Nanyue is located in the foothills of Xianggang Mountain, it has not been stolen and dug, so the number of cultural relics unearthed is large. It takes two hours to follow the guide to walk around. The order of the tour is to first visit the tomb chamber, and then explain the unearthed cultural relics. Since the guide could not explain the cultural relics one by one, after walking with her, he went for a tour and took a quick look at the cultural relics that had not been mentioned earlier. After reading it, the museum was almost closed, and the sky had already darkened. I hurriedly walked to Yuexiu Park, one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng, with beautiful natural scenery (which houses the Guangzhou Museum), to take pictures of the Wuyang sculptures symbolizing Guangzhou. I originally wanted to go to Zhenhai Tower and have a look, but the Guangzhou Museum where it is located was closed, so I quickly went to the Sun Yat-sen Monument to take a few photos and left Yuexiu Park. Next time I have the opportunity to visit Yuexiu Park.

For dinner, I went to Xicun Xiaobingsheng. This is an Internet celebrity restaurant that is very popular among young people. Because it is a new branch of Xicun Store, I saw the public account saying that there will be a 18% discount, but in fact, it will be 5 yuan off for 100 yuan. I ordered the secret black gold pork knuckles, salty lemon fried rice and snowy mountain milk dew buns recommended online (CNY96.80) If many people go, you can also try signature dishes such as signature kiln chicken, secret black barbecued pork, and picked up salmon. Personally, I feel that the food in this restaurant tastes very good, and I left after eating too much.


I arrived in Shunde at around ten o'clock in the morning on November 15, 2019. I went to the Shunde family recommended by the homeowner of the B & B for morning tea. No matter how many people you went there, you didn't have to share a table with others. I was also a large round table alone and ordered the meringue baked double skin milk, golden silk taro cheese balls and Shunde family shrimp dumplings king. I personally liked the first two, and spent a total of CNY66 in addition to the tea seat fee. I also encountered a bad thing at this house. I was in a hurry to begin with, but the waiter missed one of my snacks and placed only two items for me. As a result, I was almost finished eating the other two items and the last one was not waiting yet. I called other waiters to find out that they had not placed an order for me at all, which delayed some time.

After breakfast and afternoon tea, ride a bike to Qinghui Garden (Ticket: CNY15). It is one of the four famous gardens in Guangdong. It used to belong to the Long family. Whether it is the buildings, pavilions, and potted plants, it reminds people of the gardens in Jiangnan. Maybe I am a layman and think that the landscape is similar to the gardens in Jiangnan, so it is worth visiting.

After visiting Qinghui Garden, I originally wanted to go to the Renxin Old Shop next door to eat skin-milk, but it was already too late. In order to visit the Shunde Museum for a while, I gave up eating and rushed directly to the Shunde Museum to learn about Shunde's history and cultural customs, and the origin of Shunde cuisine. Fortunately, when I went there, I happened to meet the Inner Mongolia Museum holding the "Qidan Dynasty-Liao Dynasty Cultural Relics Exhibition" at the Shunde Museum. I like the history of the Jurchen people very much, and this exhibition suits my liking. The Shunde Museum also has the Bruce Lee exhibition hall, the collection of cultural relics exhibition hall, the collection of calligraphy and painting exhibition hall, the Cantonese opera and folk art exhibition hall, the "Shunde People and Shunde Things" exhibition hall, the Shunde Ancestral Hall Historical Exhibition Hall, and the Shunde Food Exhibition Hall. Due to limited time, the final Cantonese opera and folk art exhibition hall can only be visited in a cursory manner until it was asked to leave the museum on the radio.

For dinner, I went to Xingtan Pingliangzheng (Daliang Store). Beef and fish fillets are the signboards. This store is hidden very deeply. I asked the store next to me before I found it. It is not like the restaurant I imagined. It feels like a big rural canteen, and the signboard is also very old. The business of this store is very popular. Many foreign tourists come here, and many locals eat here for dinner. I ordered a portion of beef flower meat, chopped vegetables, and a Guangzhou-style fried dough stick that I had not eaten in Dude. I gave an egg. The hostess had a good service attitude and saw that I didn't know how to deal with eggs. She told me that I should beat it and put it on the beef. The beef was wrapped in egg liquid and put it in hot pot. After eating the beef, add porridge. The porridge was rolled before putting the vegetables. This is the standard way to eat Chaoshan hot pot. Congee can nourish the stomach, and has vegetables and meat. Cantonese people eat it very healthy and have both taste and nutrition. After returning from Pingliangzheng, I went to Huagai Road, where many delicacies gather in Shunde. I went to Renxin Laopu (No. 93, Huagai Road, Daliang Street) and ordered frozen mango double skin milk and peach gum stewed double skin milk (CNY34.50). The sweet and sour mangoes are paired with the double skin milk with strong milk aroma. It is worthy of Shunde's double skin milk. It has a strong milk aroma, refreshing, and moderate sweetness. Minxin (No. 119 Huagai Road, Daliang) is near Renxin. I had eaten Minxin's double skin milk in Foshan before, but I stopped eating that night. After visiting Huagai Road Pedestrian Street, I rode around and found a B & B. The B & B was found on AIRBNB. The landlady patiently answered my various questions. The B & B was also very clean. If there was any problem, the little brother on duty would try his best to satisfy you.

On November 16, 2019, I went to Fuying Hotel recommended by the homeowner for morning tea. This hotel is very close to the homestay and is only a few minutes 'walk away. It is a four-star hotel and its service is much better than that of Shunde people. I ordered shredded fried shrimp rolls, passion fruit mousse cake, cheese flowing egg tarts and Chaozhou glutinous rice rolls. Personally, I felt that the first three were more delicious, and the glutinous rice rolls tasted average.

After eating morning tea, we rushed to Fengjian Water Town, known as "Zhouzhuang, Guangdong". It was almost noon when I arrived in Fengjian Water Town. I first ate a bowl of sesame paste (CNY5) outside the scenic area. There are many ancestral halls in Fengjian Water Town, the largest of which is the Liu's Grand Ancestral Hall, which is also an intangible cultural heritage museum in Shunde. There are also Song Dynasty Political Consultative Conference Li Gong Temple (Fengjian Village History Museum), Guo's Ancestral Temple, etc. Now some places in Fengjian Water Town are closed to the public, and Yonghe Academy is also an abandoned place. The modern commercial atmosphere there is now getting stronger and stronger. There are many shops selling local specialties as well as double skin milk and sesame paste. Some places are still under construction. The old ancestral temples and historical sites are not as well preserved as imagined. Unfortunately, tourists can also choose to take a cruise ship to visit Fengjian Water Town and go there again in a few months. After the shops under construction are completed, the tour experience may be better. At around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, I went to Yunyuan Private Kitchen on Gaodi Street for lunch and ordered hand-beaten cuttlefish cakes and iced sour plum trotters (CNY117). The hand-beaten cuttlefish cakes were very chewy. The iced sour plum trotters were not ice as expected. They were hot and a little sweet. The overall taste was not bad. I bought kumquat that I could accept in Fengjian Shuixiang. The candied fruit made of ginger was a little uncomfortable and spicy. Walking from Yunyuan Private Kitchen to Jin 'ao Bridge, I passed by a Mingjie grocery store and bought a piece of rice cake. The old lady was kind and saw that I couldn't eat much alone, so she sold me a piece for one yuan. That rice cake tasted similar to jelly and was quite delicious. Friends who have never eaten it can try this popular snack in Guangdong.

After leaving Fengjian Shuixiang, I went to find Huanji Milk (No. 19 Jinbang Shangjie). After searching for several rounds, I couldn't find it. Later, I really didn't have time to spend looking for the store, so I asked passers-by. They said that the one in the queue was the longest. There were indeed many people walking in front of them. The store was also full of people. They ordered a bowl of ginger double skin milk, bought two bottles of water milk and two boxes of milk slices (CNY112). I drank water milk for the first time. The taste was quite strong and had no fishy smell. It felt better than milk. The milk slices are as thin as a piece of paper. They can be put when making porridge, when making cereals, or when soaking in water. They are salty. The store carefully prints out the eating methods and posts them in the store. They also take the initiative to ask customers who have not eaten before to take photos and follow the instructions to eat. This store opened in 1982, and there are still scenes of long queues of customers. It is really "the aroma of milk is not afraid of the deep alleys." After eating it, I rushed to Huan Sister Lunjiao Cake and bought a box of Lunjiao Cake (CNY20). This Lunjiao Cake has a relatively short shelf life, and you must enjoy it in time after buying it. The taste of Lunjiao Cake tastes a bit like the rice cakes eaten by Shanghainese when they were children. They are slightly sweet. I must eat pot rice once when I arrive in Shunde. I originally wanted to go to Hongxing Guangfa pot rice for dinner, but it was a little far away. I had to rush back to Foshan at night. I had dinner at the Shabao Brothers next to Huan Jie Lunjiao Cake. This house was also recommended by the owner of the B & B, and the business was also very popular. Everyone sitting outside was waiting for the waiting list. This house was affordable and had sufficient ingredients, so the business was very good. I ordered a cured pot rice (CNY18), a bowl of Qingbu Liangwu Soup (CNY12), and a bottle of Fanta for a total of 32 yuan. I ordered the pot rice and also received a portion of vegetables. The price was very close to the people. Before leaving Shunde, I bought a bottle of herbal tea (CNY7). I couldn't be counted as having been to Guangdong without drinking the common herbal tea in the area once. As a result, it tasted strange after drinking it. In fact, it tasted similar to traditional Chinese medicine. Maybe the locals are used to drinking it, and outsiders may not be able to accept the taste.

On November 17, 2019, I ate Lunjiao cake I bought the day before for breakfast. I wanted to go to the Guangdong Province Museum early and see more exhibits inside. Unexpectedly, when I was about to get there, I started to get hungry again, so I went to Diandude (Universal Store) near the Provincial Expo. It is rare to come to Guangzhou, so I can't starve myself. This time, I ordered the marble that I thought was delicious last time, and ordered two small snacks. A Japanese-style green mustard salmon tart and golden melon crab powder crystal ball. The three snacks and tea table fee totaled CNY102. The table next door was also eaten by one person. The person ordered more than a dozen dishes. The waiter advised him to reduce a few dishes before placing the order, because he couldn't eat so much alone, so don't waste it. Guangzhou's service is more practical than Shanghai. In Shanghai, waiters don't care how much you order, and don't care about waste if you can't finish it. As long as they can make money, Shanghai's catering industry needs to learn from Guangdong to avoid unnecessary waste.

After eating enough, I go to the provincial expo next door. If I don't have an appointment online, I go to the west side to line up to collect tickets with my ID card (it seems that a limited number of 8000 tickets (including reservations) will be issued a day, and 11000 tickets (including reservations) will be issued on Fridays. The opening hours are 9:00 to 17:00, and the museum is closed every Monday). The tour route starts from the Natural Resources Exhibition Hall on the fourth floor. Walking down, you can see mineral resources, plant specimens, marine animal specimens, etc. What attracted me most was the purpose of this trip-to visit "Looking at the Stars-Greek Jewelry Culture Exhibition". Not long after I first entered the exhibition hall, I was lucky and met a volunteer giving a voluntary explanation, so I followed everyone to listen to her explanation. Personally, I felt that if I watched the exhibition and explained it again, I would gain a lot. If I watched it myself, I might just look at the surface. Listening to the explanation allows you to understand the stories behind many exhibits and relevant background cultural knowledge. The disadvantage may be that they won't have time to explain all the exhibits. Many of the exhibits are skipped. We can only listen to them first and then look back at the exhibits they haven't mentioned. This time, there are 297 pieces of jewelry from the Cyclades Islands of Greece. There are not only jewelry from ancient Greece, but also works by modern Greek jewelry designers. The Cyclades Islands are one of the origins of ancient Greek civilization and the Aegean Sea. The cradle of the birth of art and culture, each piece of Greek jewelry, whether simple or exquisite, is like the stars in the galaxy of human art, taking us to explore Greece's thousands of years of aesthetic art, emotional sustenance and social changes. After tasting Western civilization, I went to the exhibition hall next door, where the "Extreme Beauty-Guang Enamel Special Exhibition" was held. As soon as I entered the exhibition hall, I saw a volunteer at the door and asked her. There were just a few minutes to 3:30. The explanation started at that time, so I was waiting for her to start explaining. As soon as I heard that the explanation was about to start, the crowd gathered together. As the name suggests,"Guang Enamel" is enamel made by Guangdong craftsmen. At that time, China could not make enamel. It was Guangdong craftsmen who, with the strong support of the three emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, finally refined China's own enamel ware, the reputation of "Guang Enamel" came into being. After listening to the guide's explanation, I learned the difference between enamel and ceramics for the first time. This exhibition displays more than 120 pieces of enamel ware from various aspects, including court, folk and export, covering a wide range of areas that are rare at home and abroad. I am really lucky to encounter this exhibition. The guide was very serious and kept talking about closing the museum. Because time was running out, they didn't have time to visit the Duan Ink Rock Art Exhibition and the Chaozhou Wood Carving Art Exhibition. However, after listening to the explanations of the Greek Jewelry Culture Exhibition and the Guang Enamel Special Exhibition, they had already gained a lot.

After leaving the Provincial Expo, I saw the Guangzhou Grand Theater in the sunset with a small waist. It was really nostalgic to see such a beautiful scenery on the last evening in Guangzhou. For dinner, I went to the farm workshop recommended by a friend. I first bought freshly baked wife cakes and husband cakes, as well as protein cakes from a small shop recommended by a local gourmet friend. Unlike Guangzhou Restaurant, Lianxiang Tower and Tao Tao Ju's industrial assembly line, the freshly baked wife cakes taste better, especially when they are first baked. After buying specialties, I went to the very famous Baihua Dessert Shop. This store has been open for many years and only accepts cash. This was the first time I used cash in Guangzhou. You can use Alipay or WeChat anywhere else. This business is so good that I sometimes can't find a place to cook in the store. I even have to wait for a table. When I eat, there are still people standing next to the table to eat. I ordered Original Sambo Plus Ice Cream (CNY17). The ice cream is cantaloupes, which is one of my favorite flavors. After eating dessert, I went to the very famous Dayang Stew Shop and ordered Coconut Bamboo Chicken (CNY20). The taste was very delicious, and the meat in the coconut could also be eaten. Even I, a person who doesn't like soup, thought it was very delicious. After eating enough, I went to Beijing Road to buy specialties and bought a box of wife cakes from Guangzhou Restaurant. I went to the emperor opposite to buy a few packs of sausage. On the way to the subway station, I passed by Lianxiang Tower and bought another box of wife cakes. I bought what I wanted to give away to others and invite colleagues to eat.

On November 18, 2019, the flight MU5386 I took belonged to China Eastern Airlines. Their check-in counter was at Terminal T1 of Baiyun Airport. The north extension section of Line 3 got off at the airport south. I went there first to complete check-in, and then checked my luggage. After checking in, I took the subway to Guangzhou Restaurant in Terminal T2 for morning tea, and seized the last opportunity to have morning tea in Guangzhou again. The subway ride in the two terminals is free, and there is not much walking distance, which is very convenient. If your flight is in Terminal T2, you can also go to Tao Tao Ju after security check for morning tea. Guangzhou Restaurant can be eaten before security check, so I can only choose to go to Guangzhou Restaurant. I ordered the aged fruity beef balls (CNY25) and the handmade specialty rice flour (CNY22), plus the tea fee, for a total of CNY67. This was the first time to eat rice flour. It tasted good, smooth, and the soup was also very delicious. When I arrived in Guangzhou, I couldn't wait to expand my stomachs because I had too many things to eat. After eating this meal, I said goodbye to Guangzhou. Next time I come, I must try Tao Tao Ju and many other delicacies that I didn't have time to eat this time. Finally, I end this travel trip with the blue sky and white clouds of Guangzhou, and look forward to the next trip to the Flower City.
