This was our 2nd trip to Guangdong, last year we spent 4 days in Chaozhou area. Click here to read trip report.
This time we took advantage of some cheap flights on Spring Air, China's new no-frills discount airline, and visited (one day each) Zhuhai (the mainland city that borders Macau) Macau, and Guangzhou.
A great trip. The weather was so-so but the food was tasty, the beer cold, the coffee brewed, the tea hot, the people friendly, the hotels satisfactory, the churches renovated, and my companion superb.
Here are just a few photos. The full report will come later.
At 500 meters long, this building on the campus of the Zhuhai branch of Zhongshan University is the longest (or largest) classroom in Asia. All the classrooms are in this one building. The nearby library is also awesome.
And along the Zhuhai waterfront, there is an airplane in this strip mall parking lot.
As Macau was a Portuguese colony until 1999, many of the old Chinese ways are still preserved like burning these huge incense coils for ancestors.
And one gets a flavor of the Portuguese influence at the Ruinas de Sao Paulo.
In Guangzhou, we stayed at an old hotel on leafy, laid back, Shamian Island.
And enjoyed the lively downtown pedestrian mall at night.
