Guangzhou for Americans

Today in Guangzhou I take the Americans to walk around the old part of town. This is a fun experience as the area between Shamian Island, where we are staying, and the big shopping pedestrian street there are very few westerners. This area is the wholesale market of Guangzhou. There are small shops with huge freezers selling frozen meats, sea food, and prepared food. There are also button stores, buckle stores, zipper stores, all with hundred of whatever they are selling available for individual or bulk purchase. We also have time to go to the Qing Ping Spice Market, where the Mom has a chat with some girls selling roots for soup.
