As a professional trip guide in Guangzhou,I often meet customers who need assistance in guiding them around city as tour guide.
So let me share some sightseeing places which is quite famous in Guangzhou and worth visiting if you like our China history
1, Yuexiu Park
It is located in old town of Guangzhou and you can take metro by arriving Yuexiu Park station.It was used to be a mountain but later become a public park which is the biggest one in Guangzhou with combination of activities.Many local old people gather together on weekends to perform themselves by singing songs,dancing and playing instruments.You would love to see this view because it shows part of Guangzhou life/culture.Here is one photo which was taken here to capture this view:
While walking,you will pass many sightseeing places.One of them is called Story palace.You will see many sculpture which made of stone but each sculpture tells us deep story about life.Such as the photo I took,it is a sculpture of a man who play piano,sitting opposite is a cow.It tells us the story that when we talk to someone who do not understand us,it is same as talking to a cow.In this story palace,you will find our Chinese language is so deep and great.We combine four different letters and come in the end of a fable which has story content inside
To be continued,you will see two most famous sightseeing and historic places in Yuexiu park.
One is called Zhenghai Tower(which is 5 floor tower).Now it becomes a musume which displays artwork from old times such as stuff made of stone,jade etc.If you want to see inside,it will cost 10RMB per ticket for entrance.
Another place is called Five Rams Sculpture. It is also the symbol of Guangzhou city(Sheep City).People may wonder why Five Rams?Actually it comes out from a story.Long time ago,Guangzhou people was experiencing hard life and hungry.Someday from sky,it comes out 5 angles riding 5 rams to Guangzhou,each ram is holding one wheat seed in its mouth.Later those angles left but five rams stay and become stones.After that,Guangzhou people start to lead prosperous life. There is lots of people coming over to see the Five Rams(which is like a blessing to Guangzhou)
2, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall
Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is another historic places in Guangzhou. It was built up by a Chinese designer but he was not able to see his work before he died. This memorial hall was built up to memorize our Chinese great person Sun Yat-sen.He was our permanent president before and he did lots of contribution to China development. He was from Zhongshan city,nearby Guangzhou.He was very good leader in revelution,so he got selected as permanent president before.This memorial hall used to be the president house which means the place where he used to work, sign contract with Japanese etc. The palace nowadays become a musume displaying his history,sometimes will have performance held inside.If you need to go inside,also have to pay ticket 10RMB for entrance fee

Previously I received a message from Synotrip.com, it’s from  a Swedish gentleman, his name is Tomas. Who later becomes one of my good friend.

Tomas is a buyer from a Swedish homeimprovement company, and came to Guangzhou for the Canton Fair in November. I was asked to be his interpreter during visiting the fair

But then in the second day he found his passport lost when he was walking in the exhibition of Canton Fair. He was very nevous at that time because he had a important meeting 2 days later in HongKong, and he knew a foreigner can go nowhere without a passport in China.

And there is no consulate of Sweden in Guangzhou, just in Beijing, Shanghai and HongKong.

This is the first time I came across this situation, after we chilled down a few minutes later, I found out we have to report to the Division of Exit and Entry Administration that the passport is gone. They will give you a "certificate of losing passport". To achieve such certificate, and we need to provide the copy of the passport or driving licence or social security card (any thing with Tomas’ picture and can prove identity will help)

We also need to provide his "staying evidence" to prove he has been to the city.

And finally, with the "certificate of losing passport", Tomas managed to travel to HK. And he was kidding, “next time, if someone is gonna steal my passport. Please steal in a city with consulate of Sweden. That would be much easier for us!!” And I do thanks synotrip.com to provide a chance to meet such a good friend.

Why Wholesale Market?
If you are a businessman always buy the products from China, How do you find the products? Internet? Fair? or Wholesale market? Guangzhou is the city for Canton Fair---Every year we have two world`s largest fair. It attracts thousands of business man come to here. But the cost for the fair is becoming more and more expensive. As the Fair becoming larger and larger, the price for hotel, ticket and everything is much higher than normal time. The cost for the supplier to take part in the fair is also higher and higher. Businessman also complain that the fair is too large, too many people and too hard to focus. Compare with the Fair,the wholesale market has those advantage:

*Except the Chinese New Year,You can come any time of the year.

*You can compare the quality and price directly.

*Diversified the order. For example, If you buy from a factory, always they will give you minimum order. But in the wholesale market, the shop always have stock and you can choose the style you like. Some times you can even get a special price because of the stock clean-out.

*Find many factories directly.
