- This is my first visit to Guangzhou China and love it here! Guangzhou is one of my favorite cities in China now. I thought I would share a typical day of my expenses going around the city of Guangzhou. I also will share the cost of the subway, my accommodation, food courts and much more! Follow me as I share with you guys how expensive Guangzhou really is. ^^

My focus will always be on the culture, food and of course the local people of everywhere I travel to!

Wow, you definitely travel like the local! 👍 It's really the best way to feel the local life style and culture.
lived 5 years in GZ, great city ! Should be Mango season now, enjoy
You were really travelling in the local areas of Guangzhou, especially the small food shops. Although i came from north China and am living in Germany, you still made me homesick. Thanks for the objective filming.
Cary F what are you doing in Germany ? Now a day China looks much better than Europe
@@alki.paraskevas9527 exactly, i think he would be living better there, but if he works as a videogame programmer, Germany should be a good place
@@salvadorhenriquez4091 i am pretty sure you make more money in Germany than in china. the fact that the products are so cheap probably reflect on the salary of a normal Chinese citizen
I expect to be more expensive in the Touristy areas.
Keep it up. You doing a great job
I enjoy your videos so much more than certain other China vloggers! You are so positive! Appreciate this!
It is great to see you enjoyed visiting China that much. My partner and I were there few weeks back, he was like didnt want to try public transport, didn’t want to eat that on the street, didn’t want to get sick.... I totally lost the joy of travelling lol I think next time I’m going along 🤣
Same experience on me & the same wish for next trip - go alone, lol.
Great Video. Informative and most importantly, Positive! Have a great time in Guangzhou 👍
Very informative! Thanks for your video!
Great video breaking down the cost! Thank you 😁
7：00 we call it milk beverage, some people think it is another kind of yogurt, while others argue it is a beverage.(Ok, I dont know lol)
good to see you back , cheers
hahaha love your music choice! Welcome to my city btw!
Considering the size of the room it is a great deal. Sometimes it is worth spending a little extra for comfort. I'm sold on the bathroom! Too bad there wasn't a self-serve laundry. Other than the hotel the most money spent was on the laundry. The food looked delicious! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the next video!
Amazing video!! Thank you for sharing it ✈️
You're a great vlogger!!! awesome video👍👍
Nice to see you back. Great video. I'm going in September hopefully it won't be as hot then. Lol.
the weather in september is around 25 to 30 centi degree. no bad.
It’s seriously hot and humid in September. But air con everywhere, it’s find.
Love this video!! ❤️ Now I am computing my meals for my future travel in Guangzhou!! 😂
Awww you were in 🥰 my favorite Fruit shop PAGODA ! So good quality and even u can take money back if u are not satisfied with the taste of it ! 👏🏻
I'm planning on traveling to Guangzhou this fall to teach English and have been searching like CRAZY for an informative video like yours! Looking forward to all your adventures and subscribed!
Welcome to the channel! I hope you have a great time in Guangzhou.
@@PatMaxAdventures Thank you!! :)
Nice vids man. I'm in Panyu district Luoxi town. Should meet up sometime... Those small little milk stuff is probiotics and I believe the one you drank in the vid is some coconut soy milk mixture.
The laundry part though... 9 ahurst, 1 pair of jeans, 7 pair of boxes for 2 weeks 😂😂
Nice video bro.
laundry 150 RMB?! it must be dry-cleaning
That seems very expressive compared to others things in China. We had a hard time finding a laundromat in Shanghai. Then we're lucky to found a hotel with a washer. Are there laundromat in Guangzhou? How do the local do their laundry?
Guangzhou is very hot in summer, and it starts raining everyday now☔️
Guangzhou is “rainy city“
What time of the year is the coolest temperature in Guangzhou?
I am not sure anywhere is cheap nowadays. Prices go up, but wages stay the same. Nice to see you back
Bro, nice video! I’ve been living and working in Guangzhou for the past 10 years. You’re more frugal than the local. I can’t even do it myself. I guess it’s a wake up call for me. I spend like if I were still living in Canada. It’s sad I know
Things in the convenience store are a little more expensive than those in the supermarket. Go find a Walmart, you can find better deals.
Welcome to my hometown. GZ is damn hot now! Bravo!
Awesome! I really want to travel to Guangzhou someday!
Thanks, I enjoyed watching this
awesome video!!! glad you are back to being able to post online again!! enjoy your travels and thanks for taking us along with you!! P.S.- Can you visit chocolate city!? As a black person, that would be amazing to see a real down to earth foreigner's experience to that city!!
I went there and it was empty, so I didn't film any of it! I unfortunately went at 2pm on a Monday. I work evenings so its hard for me to hit the right time. When is the best time to go there?
@@PatMaxAdventures I dont know I live in America! Lol thanks for your response tho and good luck!!
As a businessman, I find that Guangzhou is the best destination compared other mega cities as Beingjing, Shanghai, even Shenzhen in terms of friendness/openness of local, living/traveling cost, climate environment, etc. paying a trip of even expand your business here is not a bad choice! For me, as a hunanese, I settled down here
The AMP metro is one of my favorites here! If you get the end the have the window seats where everyone loves to watch out. The lights they have just make it worth taking the AMP. I’ve only taken it twice since it’s not very convenient for me to where I live.
hahah,I'm the guy met you at the Zoo subway station.That's so lucky.Hope your enjoy your journey
That's right! Thank you for coming up and saying hi to me. I was so shocked I forgot to introduce myself. Maybe I'll see you again next time ^^
Nice burger! It reminds me of a kebab, I mean those Istanbul kebab places for eating where you order a roll with salad, ketchup, mayonnaise etc. and of course meat, they also have many kinds of pizzas, chips, drinks. Here in Italy for example you can find lots of those, have you found them anywhere in all the places you have visited?
I lived in Tongxiang, near Hangzho and loved every last minute. I can't wait to come back.
Nice and informative! However, everything u eat is not local...surprised u haven't visit the old guangzhou yet haha take your time and enjoy ur journey in guangzhou!
Great Video. I didn't have much time in Guangzhou during my 1 month trip in China.
I love your video very much.
This guy will save more money than the locals
谢谢你制作的视频，很喜欢看
Have u visited the parks there? I absolutely love them. Feeling nostalgic, but I told myself I’m not going this summer.
Nice vid. As a GuangZhou local I recommend u dial 960169 when u encounter language barriers in GZ ... According to my friend who works for this hotline, their interpreters can translate for expats if they need to talk to locals who don't speak English. and the translation service is free
Guangzhou in June is hot, daylight over 40 degrees, humidity 90% plus and by night is still strong heat around 35 degees, untill end of september Guangzhou and south of China is crazy hot over 45 degrees sensation. I lived in Guangzhou in Tian He district for the last 8 years. Food is not expensive but imported meat is expensive actually everything which is imported is really expensive in China. Metro and bus are very cheap, even taxi is cheap. Rent an apartment is expensive specially in Tianhe, Liede and Zhuliang new town, around these areas apartments are insane expensive but around this area is the most clean modern and international area of Guanzghou.
6：58 Lactic acid yogurt
Lactobacillales (Lactic acid bacteria, 乳酸菌) fermented food, very much like yogurt.
remember the weight unit in China is call "jin", equal to 500g or 1.1 pound
Chinese people use jin a lot especially in market buying vege and meat. I'm afraid some foreigners don't know jin=500g.
Great Video
Nice video.
You make me hungry . When are you gonna visit "Chocolate City"?. Great video!
I went there and it was empty, so I didn't film any of it! I unfortunately went at 2pm on a Monday. I work evenings so its hard for me to hit the right time. When is the best time to go there?
Good Video, 7:37, how do you know products is counterfeit in continent store or shopping mall
That’s my town! Guangzhou has diversity 😊 welcome
Alles schön in Plaste eingeschweißt :(
Gutes Video :)
After watching this. I now notice how expensive NY is. Like wooooh
The quality of bakery in China has been taking off incredibly lately
Using subway card for more than 16 times in a month. Later on you'll 40% discount of the fee each time in this month. The lowest fee of subway in Guangzhou is 2 yuan. When you use it in the 17th time, the fee is 1.2 yuan. Bus has the similar rule of it too.
What are hotel prices today, any that you can recommend? I am planning a trip, hopefully later this year from the states.
I wander ask what's your job?Just traveling? How can you afford your cost ?or you just working by one hand and traveling by other hand?
I just left Guangzhou to Qingyuan today so hot!!
Hi Patrick. I'm planning to go to China (Shanghai / Hongkong / Guangzhou???) around the end of this summer so I've been watching some of your videos already. But I am really anxious about this because I don't know the language. I'm trying to learn the bare basics but... my brain is so sloooow. As this is my first trip, (and maybe for other first timers) would you have any tips about how to make this more 'local', as how you found your accomodation, etc... How would you prepare for this? (money, phone, health, ...)
Thanks a lot for sharing your travel adventures.
English is common in HK tho, SH and GZ would be a bit challenging to you. Don't forget the Great Firewall, you'd better to prepare the counterpart apps first
Fluffy Bunny you should definitely consider renting a room through Airbnb, and about the language, as long as you have google translate you will survive. Also apps like DiDi(china’s Uber) will be very useful. Beware that this season it gets really hot throughout the entire country. You should definitely come to Guangzhou, you would enjoy it for sure, it’s a very nice city 👌🏾
there's no need to worry about the landuague in the big cities of china. a great number of the younger generation is able to sepak english. and google translation will help you a lot. it's good to buy a local sim card when you landed on the airport, so that you can have the internet access.
I recommend you download "Dear Translate" app. It can help you to do the translation. I think it will cover almost all use cases. For bookings, just Expedia's or airbnb is fine
Thank you to each of you for your precious tips.
I'm scheduled to move to Guangzhou in late October but was considering asking my job to send me to Shenzhen instead. Which do you think is more expensive? Both look beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
There is not much of a difference. it really depends on where you go and stay within each city.
Come to Shenzhen....haha that’s where I am from
Shenzhen is more expensive
Shenzen is more expensive but much easier to access HK GZ more of a homey feel.
Shenzhen is much better than guangzhou
nice video
Can you explain what you mean by laundry over 20$
any chance you can share how did you found your accommodation in guangzhou???
I Love u video also i Love China from srilanka. My dear friend welcome srilanka..There are so many place visit in srilanka
Just a tip, China doesn’t really have laundromat kind of stores but dry cleaners, so doing laundry can be tricky. I’d recommend book one night of Airbnb that comes with a washer, to stay at a holiday inn express(the only brand i found in China that has self-laundry, including DRYERs!)
Hold up how Is nobody gonna address the fact that this man just said he wore the same jeans for two weeks 😂
first visit to Guangzhou you need to try "饮茶",eat some dim sum and drink china tea,this is Lingnan traditional snack food.
Great show... Can you share the name of and the address of the hotel? Does it have Air Conditioning?
I go back every few years and always find a new place to go. Too many food options. Born in GZ 😁
that lady spiting water at 1:26 tho..
you should find a Airbnb to live rather than a hotel. airbnb you can cook or do your laundry, and the price is also affordable.
Unfortunately Airbnb's are difficult in China. I am more comfortable in Hotels in China.
@@PatMaxAdventures there are some hotel, or it is called service apartment in China, it will have washing machine
Welcomne to GuangZhou~
Nice video! Please tell me the Station name, hoping on October I will be there
Pat,
Can you get here from Beijing? If yes, by train or by plane?
Good job, keep up the good work. Trying other Asian Countries like the Philipines and Malayy & Indonesia
我就在广州，哈哈～玩得开心
Can you tell me the name of the area you were living and the name of the hotel? I am thinking of a solo trip to Guangzhou and feeling a bit daunted by the challenge.
H dear, can you recommend a good interpreter service in Guangzhou.
广州动物园附近，水荫路我太熟悉了😁
thanks for this. I hope you can go to tourists area
What budget hotel do you recommend. thanks 😀
I am a Chinese living in Guangzhou. In fact, the per capita wage in Guangzhou is less than 8,000 yuan(about 1165 US dollars)a month. Perhaps this price is very cheap for people in developed countries. But I think eating now is more expensive.😳
Cheaper than Shenzhen and more tasty.
The foods you chose are very north China style, but they seem to be western foreign people friendly, local Guangzhou food would be a little bit weird for them~ Anyway, enjoy your trip in GZ 🤗
Pat buddy - your videos are excellent and I am MUCH more comfortable with the idea of travelling in Guangzhou. But google maps don't work there. How do I check out the street level view in Guangzhou?
baidu map app
Where is save and best place to buy computer and cell phone?
I hope there are good options for beef and chicken burgers....can you tell me price range... As
I am not allowed to eat pork.
What type of restaurant should u go for considering 5 dollars lunch menu
Man, I live very close to where you took this video
Hi Patrick. Can i have the street name of your video at 11.28 ? i'm curious with chinese style hamburger. Thanks a lot !
You'd wish you'd tried dim sum :) which is a signature cantonese food experience originated from Guangdong
when you go to the family market for last minute items. Milk, bread, some detergent and OH! some Condoms!!!! hahaha
You’ve done a very great job traveling like a real Chinese, but the laundry shop you went was actually for dry cleaning and it’s really expensive. If you use a laundry machine and have all of your clothes washed cost only around 3-10RMB Imao
What's the name of the hotel you stayed in?
support
My lover is from Guangzhou and she says life is easy
Hi bro, thanks for the video. How difficult is it to 'survive' when you don't speak Mandarin ? I'm going to Guangzhou one week in Jan, should I start learning now ? Cheers
English is also OK,Many people can speak English.
Why not Cantonese? Haha
The price in guangzhou is not as expensive as beijing，shanghai，hangzhou and so on in mainland China
Brother where is the wholesale market of led fog lights
After travelled to Iceland I feel everything even here in uk is pretty cheap
That was some kind of yoghourt drink or acidophilus milk.
What exact location is this in guangzhou??
很接地气啊
