Fly your account as you wishThe Pearl River Delta is the most urbanized region in our country. From Guangzhou to the east, pass through Dongguan to Shenzhen; or go west through Shunde and Zhongshan to Zhuhai. All cities are connected together, and it is difficult to distinguish where the boundaries are.
For this trip, I planned several cities on the west bank of the Pearl River. Compared to Shenzhen and Dongguan on the east bank, these places are most famous for their food. It is often said that food is in Guangzhou, buthalf of the chefs in Guangzhou are from Shunde, and Shunde people often go to Zhongshan to find food.
After my actual test, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and Zhuhai Jinwan Airport self-driving or high-speed rail to Shunde The time consumption is basically the same So friends who want to go to Shunde can choose the flight that suits them.It’s really hard to miss out on food in Guangdong. If you just browse through one on Dianping, it will beat out a large number of Cantonese restaurants in Shanghai.This Huahuan Ice Shop is not big. There are only seven or eight tables in the store. The dishes are also very simple. They are classic Cantonese dishes. I used my Cantonese skills to order a few dishes. The lady boss smiled and asked if we were here for a trip. ?Another thing about Guangdong that I think is the best in the country is the cleanliness of toilets. Whether it is a large shopping mall, a small roadside restaurant, or even a public toilet, the cleanliness is the best in the country, even in Beijing and Shanghai. The two cities are more economically developed, perhaps because the average qualityof the people is relatively high.Shunde Huagai Road Pedestrian StreetAfter landing, we checked out and got off to a good start. In the afternoon we headed to the highlight of the trip - Shunde.It takes about two hours to drive from Zhuhai city to Shunde. I can hardly tell where the boundaries of these cities are . There are endless urban buildings on both sides of the highway, and highways. Mini high-speed rail stations are also densely distributed on the high-speed rail lines parallel to the highway.When arriving in Shunde, the first stop is Huagai Pedestrian Street. It looks like a very ordinary commercial pedestrian street, but it hides countless Shunde time-honored delicacies. You can walk all the way Eat along the way.What I love most is the beef offal here. A rice cooker in a roadside shop cooks very delicious beef offal, and the aroma permeates the entire street.Another very tempting thing is the sugar water shop here. In the summer, go into the time-honored sugar water shop in Shunde and order a double skin milk and a poplar nectar, which are great tools to relieve the heat.After eating until this point, I started to hate myself for not growing two more stomachs so that I could stuff all the food for a week into them.
Shunde's Fisherman's Wharf is a very romantic place. It used to be a place where fishing boats docked. Now it has been transformed into a neighborhood for eating, drinking and having fun. The lighthouse on the pier is retained and the surrounding buildings are spray-painted. Graffiti and elaborate decoration, it is worth a visit.When I first came to Shunde two years ago, there was only this lighthouse and 711 here, and it was relatively quiet, but it was really romantic at sunset .
Now many shops have been added here, and a residential area next to it has been transformed into a commercial area, so it is more lively and easier to visit.We were also lucky enough to see someone proposing here. The boy sang a very nice Cantonese song. Friends appeared from the truck container. The heroine was also jumping with joy. This was also the first time I saw someone live. Propose and wish them happiness.Shunde Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork PorkShunde people also have several very famous restaurant brands, Pork Po Po should be one of them, so we came to try it out based on the recommendation of the locals.The door is covered with photos of many Hong Kong celebrities who came to check in. It seems that it has a really great influence in Guangdong.The environment of the restaurant is pretty good, but the taste is not too surprising. Maybe it’s because Shunde is so peaceful. The average level is already very high.After eating and drinking in Shunde, I drove back to Zhongshan. Zhongshan was actually originally called "Xiangshan" and was the hometown of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Later, in order to commemorate him, the name of the city was also changed to Zhongshan.The hotel we stayed at was Le Méridien Zhongshan. The location was very convenient. It was right at the exit of the highway. There was a shopping mall next to the hotel and a park opposite.The decoration of the room is pretty good, and a high-rise floor-to-ceiling window has been upgraded.
The hotel's swimming pool is all blue and there are not many people. It is very comfortable to swim and relax.Zhongshan Si囍 Coffee CompanySleep until you wake up naturally in the morning,After breakfast at the hotel, we went out for a walk.
Directly opposite the Sun Yat-sen Memorial HallThere is a very interesting coffee shop called"Sixth Coffee Coffee Company" .The store has two floors, offering coffee, snacks and light meals. The decoration is simple but has local Guangdong characteristics. The store does good business on weekends, with many young people wearing school uniforms.Zhongshan is a very small city, so walking in the streets and alleys of this city gives you a very quiet feeling.
Zhongshan Yongxile RestaurantAfter drinking some coffee and eating some snacks, we rushed to the next restaurant for lunch. In fact, we were already very full. At this time, I really hated myself for having only one stomach.
This Cantonese restaurant restores the style of Hong Kong. There is a Hong Kong taxi at the door of the store. The classic red car body and yellow roof lights, as well as the street sign of Nathan Road at the door, instantly brought me back Hong Kong.I'm so full that can no longer taste whether the food tastes good or bad. I'm sorry.After lunch, we continued to Zhuhai.The most scenic road in Zhuhai is probably Couples Road.Spread along the coastline,Open the sunroof and drive all the way through to feel the sea breeze.There are also many petty bourgeoisie cafes along the road. Just walk into one and enjoy the boundless sea view.In fact, Zhuhai, like Shenzhen, is a special economic zone, but it has never had a particularly big presence before. However, this city has repeatedly been on the list of livable cities.There is also a grand theater on Lovers Road in Zhuhai, which is also shaped like a shell. Idea is exactly the same as the Sydney Opera House, but there are still some differences.Zhuhai Airport is still some distance from the city, but the scenery along the way is very attractive, and you can even clearly see the buildings of Macau. We went to Zhuhai Airport a little early in the afternoon to wait for our flight. This trip felt like I was returning to Shanghai with a full belly of food./ Some pictures in this article are from Xiaohongshu
