Zhujiang New Town (珠江新城) in Tianhe district (天河区)
Guangzhou (as known as "City of Flowers"), the city which Pearl River flows through, is located in Southeast China, about 180km -2 hours train ride- away from Hong Kong.
Most of the people here speak Canton direct, same as in Hong Kong (even though, there is a slight difference).
Zhujiang New Town, the area where I live, is a very new town, as you can see from it's name.
Many (not just one or two!) super high skyscrapers are already there and more are under construction. The area with 5star hotels, shopping malls, sophisticated restaurants (Cantonese, Japanese, Mediterranean's and more), Japanese brand super market (JUSCO/AEON).
You can get most of the things you want, but it can be expensive... (e.g. price of cloth in ZARA, H&M or UNIQLO can be as same as in Hong Kong but it's in RMB, 1 RMB = 1.25 HKD)
People talk about China's economy deterioration but I don't see it here, at least on the surface level...
Can't wait to see what it will look like after all those construction are finished after 3-5years!
