I wish Salam to everyone,
Guangzhou Travelogue - Pengalaman Perjalanan ke Guangzhou.
Guangzhou is famous for being the center of wholesale markets. Me and my wife spend about a week in Guangzhou for sight-seeing and to do some shopping.
TELECOMMUNICATION / WIFI SERVICE
CELCOM telecomunication roaming service was terrible, most of the time not in service.
Lucky I brought along with me another handphone using a different network operator. This network worked fine in Guangzhou, full bar reception.
The hotel and most restaurants provide free Wifi, just ask them the password. Google search, google translate, FB and google map are easily accessible using VPN.
In China, a large number of websites are blocked by the “Great Firewall”. However, you can use VPN (Virtual Private Network) that will enable you to access Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Google.
If you wait till you arrive in China, installing the VPN app in your smartphone will be more difficult as Google Play is blocked too! Therefore, install your VPN before you travel to China.

COURIER SERVICE
Sending goods to Kuala Lumpur is easy. Either bring goods to the courier service premises or request them to collect from the hotel or collect from an address given to them.
There are many agents for courier service, can find them everywhere around Guangzhou.

TRANSPORTATION
China local transportation is very convenient, frequent busses and metro service. Some people get on taxi, but not me, because I read about not nice things some tourist wrote about China taxi service. Better stick with using buses, metro subway trains and intercity trains services.
Guangzhou traffic can be very hazardous at times, especially crossing the Jiefang South Road in front of Onelink Plaza. Cautiousness is advised when crossing streets and driving. For Malaysian travelers, be watchful when on the streets as you are used to drivers driving on the left. In China, people drive vehicles on the rightside of the road.
FOOD
A lot of halal restaurant around mosques and favourite spots. You can see a lot of Muslim Hui People 回族, Muslim Uighur People 维吾尔族, Arabs and African muslim people therefore no problem finding halal food.
Some eateries advertise their premises using Zabihah.
But rest assured that there are definitely a lot more Halal Restaurants around Guangzhou.
Find out the rest of the story of our journey, it will be very kind of you to clik onelink plaza
