FAQ: Everything You Need to Know Before Visiting Guangzhou
What’s the best way to get around Guangzhou?
If you're exploring the city, I highly recommend using the Guangzhou Metro—it's fast, affordable, and connects major attractions. Buses are extensive but require familiarity with Chinese. Taxis and ride-hailing apps (like Didi) are available but pricier. Avoid rush hours to skip heavy traffic.Is Guangzhou safe for tourists?
Yes! Guangzhou is generally safe, even for solo travelers. However, watch out for pickpockets in crowded areas like Beijing Road. Stick to well-lit streets at night and be cautious with unofficial taxis.What’s the best neighborhood to stay in?
Cantonese cuisine is king! Don’t leave without trying dim sum (at Tao Tao Ju), roast goose (at Bingsheng), and clay pot rice. Night markets like Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street are great for street food.What’s a common tourist mistake in Guangzhou?
Many visitors underestimate the humidity! Bring breathable clothes and always carry an umbrella (rain showers can be sudden). Also, avoid taxis from airports without using official stands—they often overcharge.Do I need cash, or can I use a credit card everywhere?
China is highly digital! WeChat Pay and Alipay are widely used—even street vendors accept mobile payments. Bring some cash for smaller shops, but most places don’t take Visa/MasterCard, so set up a mobile wallet if possible.Is tipping expected in Guangzhou?
No, tipping isn’t customary in China. However, high-end restaurants and hotels may add a service charge. For exceptional service, locals might round up the bill, but it’s not expected.
