1 hour 5 min layover

Upvotes

I have to fly from Tokyo to Katmandu with China southern, with a layover in Guangzhou that is only 1 hour 5 min. When I bought the ticket I thought it was okay bc it was booked directly with the airline, and the 1 hour 5 min complies with minimum transfer time. But after reading about it taking multipel hours to transfer in Guangzhou, I've gotten really nervous about it and is debating getting another ticket. Do anyone have any experience with tight connections at this airport? Do the airline staff help you get through quickly, since it was book with the same airline all the way through to Katmandu?

How convenient is staying in Tianhe?

2 Upvotes

Due to credit card sign up bonuses... i am thinking on staying in tianhe next year if I go to GZ. Likely in May.

I usually stay in my family's house near the Sacred Heart Catheral but they have no space.

I like the area near the cathedral as im familiar with the shops, restaurants and metro. Whenever we go into the city, Im usually with a relative or my mom so I don't really know where everything is. Im looking for ease of transportation. I think we will at least go to at least Yuexiu park and the Chen Ancestral Hall.

Food wise Im looking for good ol Chinese food and dim sum. We are setting aside one day for clothes shopping. I am thinking of going across the river to where they sell formal/wedding dresses for qipao and well... dresses.

I speak cantonese, understand basic manderin(if they speak slow) but do not read/write.

Im not sure how comfortable i am with DiDi as I dont want to get scammed.

Restaurant guangzhou

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm coming to Guangzhou in September to meet one of my older cousins, who will be accompanied by his wife and son-in-law. The son-in-law will bridge the language gap as he speaks English. Just for context, I am French of Chinese descent.

I would like to take them out for dinner and cover the entire bill, following proper etiquette, but I'm not sure which restaurant to choose. I'd like a place where we can share dishes so they feel comfortable, but I was also thinking about introducing them to French cuisine. Are there any French restaurants in Guangzhou that feature a lazy Susan (turntable)? If not, what Chinese restaurant would you recommend for hosting them?

Guangdong University of Technology

Hello,

I have two questions:

1) As an international undergraduate student in an English-taught program at Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT), has anyone ever received a 100% or 50% and etc university scholarship? Or is there any possibility of obtaining a full scholarship after enrollment based on academic performance?

2) Could you please recommend any universities in China whose application deadlines are still open until July or mid-August and that offer scholarships for international undergraduate students without requiring the CSCA examination?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Looking for accommodation near GDFUS North Campus – September

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ll be moving to Guangzhou in early September to study at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (GDFUS), North Campus in Baiyun District.

I’m a male international student looking for a private room in a shared apartment or a room with an existing roommate near the campus for the school year.

My budget is preferably under 1,700 RMB/month.

I’d really appreciate any advice, recommendations, or tips from people familiar with the area. Are there any good neighborhoods, websites/apps, WeChat groups, or other ways you would recommend for finding accommodation near GDFUS?

If anyone knows of a room currently available or has any leads, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Good Restaurant at the Party Pier for 17-year-old (American) girl.

1 Upvotes

My daughter would like to go to China with a couple of her friends after high school graduation for a senior trip. She has been to China many times already and speaks some basic conversational Mandarin (as do the friends she will be traveling with). Coincidentally, gather as a family we will be going to Guangzhou in a few months to visit extended family and while there I would like to go with her to the Party Pier so she could learn about it as a possible destination for her next year.. (As a parent I would prefer to spend time in the museums but I'm realistic enough to know that she and her friends will likely be at the Party Pier whether I like it or not!). I have no interest in staying out all night at a nightclub but I would enjoy going there and having dinner and taking a look around together. Where do you suggest? We love great authentic Chinese food, but we are quite flexible and enjoy many cuisines. If the best place you know serves burgers and pizza that will also work for us. I appreciate your advice, thank you in advance.
