Our FIRST time in Guangzhou, China | Southern China Vlog 2024
Guangzhou Nightlife & Local Gems: Southern China Exploration
Pat & Giulia's first Guangzhou adventure! Exploring local spots & nighttime charm in Southern China. A fun, off-the-beaten-path experience.
We are back in China in the city of Guangzhou, when people talk about China they mention... Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing even Shenzhen, but Guangzhou gets missed by many. We take a look at some of the local spots near us. We'll be taking you around Guangzhou at night and the surrounding areas too. These are all trusted sites we use regularly, feel free to use them - if you do, please consider using our links as this helps support the channel. We are Pat & Giulia, a couple from 🇬🇧 and 🇮🇹 living in London. We decided to go travelling and ended up living getting stuck in Malaysia during 2020 which spurred the creation of this channel, we're now back on the road after a lengthy hiatus! We're travel enthusiasts who enjoy discovering spots off the tourist trail and don’t like taking ourselves too seriously. We don't make silly faces for thumbnails, make stuff up for YouTube or play our best Hollywood roles - if you want that, go search the country and look for 'Can't believe this is..' 'Shocked...', 😂 We dislike the name VeggiesOnTour, but it got stuck with us during Covid in 2020 and we've not been able to shake it since. We are quite well known in Malaysia for it, so it's stuck. Unfortunately we get a lot of stick online for being vegetarians, believe it or not. So play nice!
