China - Guangzhou Trip - Day 1 - Gao di Jie (more than 100 year old street in South China)

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.

After checking out the cruise ships at Tianzi Pier, we walked towards Beijing Lu and saw many beautiful old buildings.



But we had a wonderful find as we walked towards Beijing Lu. We found a more than 100 year old street (see circled in red in photos).


Being so curious, hubby and me decided to walk into the alley. It was mostly wholesale for undergarments, stockings, socks, pyjamas, etc and they do sell to walk in customers. The street was so long we could not see the end of the street but we had to turn back after walking like forever in the street with no end.


Hahaha we spotted lots of undergarments in red as Chinese New Year is approaching, red are popular during this festive.


While walking along the narrow street, we gotta be careful not to be knocked down by these busy and hurried migrant workers pulling/pushing their trolley of goods. They were like a colony of ants so busy working. The migrant workers are originally not from Guangzhou but from other provinces in China(mostly from countryside) but came to work in Guangzhou to earn more money.

In the street next to this street we spotted some old women giving some services of removing facial hair with strings. It is an ancient art.

Spotted some delicious snacks in one of the shop.
