China - Guangzhou Trip - Day 2 - Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street

PLEASE ASK PERMISSION BEFORE YOU RE POST MY PHOTOS ON TO YOUR BLOG. THERE ARE SOME BLOGGERS WHO DID NOT ASK MY PERMISSION AND REPOST MY PHOTOS WITHOUT THE COURTESY OF LINKING BACK TO MY BLOG. THIS IS LIKE STEALING. PEOPLE, I HAVE SPEND MUCH TIME TAKING PHOTOS AND DOING HOMEWORK ON MY TRAVELLING INFORMATION AND KINDLY SHARE THESE INFORMATION TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THEM. IF NECESSARY I WILL POST SCREEN SHOT OF YOUR BLOG TO SHOW YOUR BAD MANNERS OF STEALING MY PHOTOS. THE MOST DISGUSTING THING THEY DID WAS TO SCREEN SHOT MY PHOTO AND CORP OFF MY BLOG TITLE AND REPOST IN THEIR BLOG.

Our next visit was to Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. Can take the metro and alight at Changshoulu Metro Station.

Lots of shopping in here.

This street is more tourist friendly and lots of restaurants and eateries.

Surprised to see the people very fashionably dressed. The last I visit was in 1986 and the streets were not even closed to traffic.

Lots of such statues all over the Pedestrian Street.




Oh I like the statue of this lady stepping out of the rickshaw.




A side alley selling mostly local food.


Yikes, fried insects from scorpio to centipedes for sale. No thank you, I am not eating them hahaha.




Man in chicken mascot selling sweets.


As stated in wikitravel, this Guangzhou Restaurant is very famous and need reservation to ensure seats. As we had a rather late and heavy lunch, we did not eat anything from this restaurant, what a waste. :(


Another famous restaurant, Taotao Ju Restaurant.

Feeling so tired after a long day out, we decided to head to Changshoulu Metro Station to take a train back to our hotel.

Guangzhou Restaurant serves delicious dim sum. We love visiting it for supper where the dim sum buffet spread was heavenly!! Guests usually arrive as early at 8.30pm to book tables and wait till 9.00pm to start ordering as that's when the discounted prices were offered.
