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. ^^

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.

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.

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.
