Foshan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Strategy·Shunde｜Taste Shunde I am willing to eat 8 meals a day

🍃 How can you miss Shunde if you want to eat authentic Cantonese food? . 📅Itinerary (2 days) Saturday: Take the high-speed train to 'Guangzhou South Station' - Metro 7 to Line 3 to 'Daliang Clock Tower Station' - Qinghui Garden - Huagai Li Straight Street - Stay near 'Qinghui Garden' Sunday: Huagai Mountain Plank Road - Jinbang Lower Street - Metro 3 to 7 to 'Guangzhou South Station' - Return . 🗺️Food Map Saturday: Huagai Li Straight Street (Aunt He's Geshui-Wei's Beef Offal Soup-Minxin Old Shop|Double Skin Milk)-Damen Restaurant|Fish Sashimi-Huasheng Line|Turtle Jelly Sunday: Huagai Li Straight Street (Ah Bao Lemon Tea-Fish Skin Brother)-Jinbang Upper Street (Jinbang Huanji Cow Milk|Buffalo Milk)-Xingtang Fair and Beautiful (Daliang Store)|Congee Hot Pot . The most worthwhile places to go in Shunde 1⃣️'Huagai Li Straight Street' There are many snacks, the famous Aunt He's Geshui, Wei's Beef Offal Soup, Fish Skin Brother, Minxin Old Shop are all very close, you can eat all the way. Minxin Old Shop (Double Skin Milk Museum Store) is on this street, it is the first private public welfare exhibition space themed on the famous Cantonese snack double skin milk (the exhibition hall is open for free, daily 10:00-19:00), after the visit, sit down and eat a bowl of milk. The authentic double skin milk with a strong flavor is a bit sweet, but it's still delicious 2⃣️'Huagai Mountain Plank Road' You can climb up and walk around, not tired, and you can digest food by the way, you don't need to go back and you can walk to Jinbang Upper Street from the plank road to drink a bottle of buffalo milk 3⃣️'Jinbang Upper Street' is a very characteristic alley in Shunde, you can glimpse the fireworks of Shunde from the Huagai Mountain Plank Road. 'See route p8' 4⃣️How can you not eat fish sashimi when you come to Shunde! I dare not say which fish sashimi is the most delicious, the freshness of the fish and the method of mixing the seasoning will affect the taste. 'Damen Public' The fish sashimi is a taste I can't forget (after all, it's a bit difficult to find a delicious and affordable Shunde fish sashimi restaurant in Shenzhen) 5⃣️There are countless congee hot pot shops in Shunde, 'Xingtang Fair and Beautiful (Daliang Store)' is also delicious, but I personally think it's almost the same as the delicious congee hot pot in Shenzhen, you can eat it if you don't queue up

Dragon Dance in Foshan

I had the opportunity to see a Dragon Dance show on on an old square in front of a temple, some weeks before the spring festival and Chinese New Year. 🚩 Foshan is close to Guangzhou, you can reach it by plane, bus, train or even by Guangzhou metro! It was amazing and the best dragon show I saw so far. 🐉 #foshan #guangdong #dragondance #chinesenewyear

The Lion Dance Martial Arts. Originated from Foshan and spread out the southern China, this performance is breathtaking and requires high level of skills and outstanding physical training results. Generally speaking, it is performed during Chinese New Year or Spring Festival according traditions. Where to see?

Fengjian Water Town | The top choice for a day trip around Guangzhou, akin to Zhouzhuang in Guangdong

When we have some free time, we always love to stroll around Shunde. As a well-known 'land of fish and rice', not only is it famous for its 'kitchen of Phoenix City', but amidst the crisscrossing waterways, there are also many serene and elegant water towns hidden away, with Fengjian being one of them. The Hao'er Big Houses and small bridges over flowing water are indeed the visage of Guangdong's millennium-old water towns. Although they cannot be compared with the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, the elegance between the villages and the ordinary life's atmosphere have their own charm. The pity is that the rivers may not have been cleaned for a long time, so the smell and the mosquitoes are not very friendly, haha. Just wander around Fengjian; the place is not big, and you won't get lost. Passing by a Jun'an steamed pork shop, or a stall selling double-skin milk, you can stop and try them. These are famous Shunde snacks, and you generally won't go wrong with them.
