Fatigue from winter gray and cold weather provokes to feats, many collect suitcases and decide for themselves a rhetorical question - where to relax in April. If you are interested in the Mill East as well as me, I can share useful information. China is a special country, there are many wonderful places in it. Amazing nature is adjacent to the cities that have become a living confirmation of the fact that the concepts of "communism" and "economic miracle" are compatible. According to my feelings here you can relax at least annually. First, the country is large, in a short period of time it is impossible to look and find out, secondly, it changes every day, and even a year later, and not know.
One cities that we were lucky to see - Guangzhou. Impressive literally from the first seconds of dating. This is a real metropolis, where the history and monuments of antiquity with bizarre skyscrapers are intertwined with a motley ribbon. Night city lights, kilometers shopping centers, stunning parks, museums with unique expositions, temple complexes and natural reserves. Guangzhou generously gives the impressions of who will decide to come and honor him with their attention.
Guangzhou geographically quite large city and due to the fact that it positions itself as one of the world trade centers, has a well-developed tourist infrastructure. There are practically no problems with the choice of hotel in the city. Hotels have different price categories and level of comfort. In order to roughly draw up the budget of the trips to those who have not had time to visit this city, I can share your impressions.
The vast majority of tourists land at Bayun Airport, we did not exception. At 11:15 local time, our aircraft successfully landed and we were in China. Standard procedures for passport control and luggage production will not take a long time. We left for about 30 minutes. After receiving the baggage, they decided to change some money in the airport exchanging, as the cities did not know and it was not clear when the opportunity to extrude yuan would be possible. Traditionally, as at many other airports, immediately acquired local SIM cards, 100 yuan from the nose. The account turned out to be exactly half of the cost card.
From the endless expanses of the Internet, when preparing for a trip, Op Cupitsa was collected by the information that seemed helpful to us. Part of it was really relevant. For example, the information that Guangzhou is one of the four cities in China, in which there is a subway and one of the lines ensures traffic flow from the airport to the city. To get into the subway you need to buy a token, in the machine selling tokens, click on the destination station and get your own. When arrived at the place, return the token in the turnstile. We bought tokens to Gongyuanqian Metro Station, as the hotel booked near the Beijing Street. Peking Street is a pedestrian zone and by itself the landmark.
Getting to her from the subway is easy, about 15 minutes walk in direct and you are in place. The main thing at the exit from the subway is to navigate correctly and not get to the shopping center, from which the yield is found, as it turned out, not easy. We noted for yourself that he was next to the subway and the next day decided to go. The place was liked, sell a unthinkable number of different products, inside the shopping center is clean and not hot, but when we decided to go back to the street to eat and go to the hotel we were waiting for a surprise. Outputs are full, but you need not found. In search of minutes 20 spent.
But back to Peking Street. Approximately 15 minutes walk was the very hotel, whose reservation we did in advance and counted on it. I somehow upset a huge building at once, it was like hotels in Soviet type, called the first place to our first stop "Guangdong". Located in the center, there is a lot of interesting things next to and within walking distance. Step-friendly availability here is not as in some European countries - 5 minutes and you are in place. Here you have to walk longer, but still we were able to visit on foot, without using public transport, several interesting places.
Inside the hotel everything looks very pathos and well-groomed, the room clean and the furniture is normal. The room itself is very spacious with a large window and beautiful view.
Bathroom with mosaic and clearly fresh plumbing. Slippers, bathrobe, cute some little things like souvenirs in the bathroom on a tray with shampoo, gel. The bathroom is very big and there is a washing machine. Safety deposit box, hairdryer, mini bar, TV, kettle and coffee maker (!) In the closet and everything you need for cooking / coffee - a standard set of any hotel. Free internet pleased, because at the time of the settlement we have not yet managed to figure out how the Internet functions on the sims purchased by us. Fresh newspapers and water brought every morning. The hotel is not bad, I can't comment on the kitchen of their restaurant, as we fed in the city. The only thing that I never managed to overcome is an association with the "Sovkom", but it is only outside, inside - the victory of capitalism in everything, the hotel for people, we were not bad in it. He cost us about 3,500 rubles a day. The reservation did not expendle (we had two days booked in advance), as they decided to continue to study the city (and it is not small) and move closer to other attractions.
The next hotel was called Rosedal, cost cheaper than the previous one, the number per day did about 1,800 rubles for us, but the impression was better. So we once again have made sure that you should not immediately book a hotel for a long time, it is better to look at the locality and make a decision after examining nearby hotels. The rooms are spacious and bright (in our room there were two rooms and a bathroom). Everything is very clean, so much that sometimes the idea that the floors were sterile))
Cozy, beautiful, you can watch TV or work at the computer (free online). The bathroom is perfect purity, crispy towels, bathrobes and sneakers, packaged in branded paper, cosmetics sets.
Flowers were in the bathroom, and in the room, every day, bouquets brought fresh, along with newspapers and water. Not far from the hotel was a wonderful park, we lived in it wonderful and did not want to leave at all.
But the thirst for adventure called us further and we were safely migrated in a week in the third hotel before going to provincial towns. The third hotel is called Ascott Guangzhou, we spent two days in it. Hotel specifics are such a room designed by the type of one-bedroom apartment, but maybe there are more spacious, our room has been 6,700 rubles. In the bedroom room, office, kitchen and bathroom. Bedroom, office and kitchen are perfectly furnished. Everything you need in the room. The bathroom is a little less bedroom and in it a huge hot tub. The style is quite modern, no vensels, gilding and tinsel, but in all the luxury and love of comfort.
Here is our modest list, maybe this will help someone in choosing. I will say right away that initially we were heard that it would be easily renting rooms in any hotel for $ 50 or so. That's quite possible. We watched such hotels, we had enough time. They did not please us either atmosphere nor an atmosphere. Located on the backyards, the rooms are not the best furniture, everything is very modest. If you are not attracted or spend in the city of one or two nights, it is quite possible to live in this hotel, making a choice in favor of the budget. We chose comfort and did not regret.
