Guangzhou and Beijing

No Badaling Great Wall of China. No Forbidden City as well. No Foshan (in Guangzhou) where a museum dedicated to Wong Fei Hung (the Chinese RobinHood). It was a meeting customers and then off you go trip. And yet, it was quite an interesting introductory of the two cities.

The Guangzhou Subway System works based on a coin-shaped ticket pass. Interesting and somewhat creative.

Massage parlors in China (not only in Guangzhou, for this one that I went to) stand out in the sex service scene although massage is more meant to improve circulation and relieve tension.

Most restaurants in this street are open twenty-four seven. If you are a night owl, Gui Street in the city of Beijing, is a good place to spend the boundless night. Met a good old friend there for dinner after last seen him two years ago in Japan.

Beijing has a varied nightlife scene - cute girls, bad girls, shady guys, sound loud enough to make you deaf, kick ass security. Get your full Beijing disco experience.

I did not go the to best place for Beijing Duck, however did try out some other local cuisines.
