Join to the Guangzhou Food Tour and be guided through the local culture and cuisine. Expert food tour guides will take the guess work out of where to eat and what to order so you too can appreciate Guangzhou.
Guangzhou is the home of Cantonese cuisine and is famous for having the best food in China. In a city where locals greet each other with "Nei Sek Faan Maea" - "Have you eaten yet", you know the food is going to be special. There is something for every foodie in Guangzhou.
Liwan is one of the older districts in Guangzhou, and a heartland of traditional Cantonese culture. It is famous for the Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street which is the oldest pedestrian street in China, but scratch the surface and Liwan offers small alleys that are full of local life.
Our food tour starts with a walk through the Guangzhou fish markets, an amazing wholesale market full of fresh live fish and shellfish. After our first tasting of fresh prawns our expert guides will lead you through the backstreets of Liwan to sample more specialities and absorb local life and culture.
The highlight of the food tour is Yum Cha at one of the best Cantonese restaurants in China. If you have always wanted to really know what is on the menu, than this is for you. How about some Sea Cucumber Dumplings? Even if you are an old hand at Yum Cha, this will tantalise your taste buds.
