About Guangzhou

Guangzhou

Guangzhou may lack the appeal of Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, but it’s trying. China’s 3rd largest mainland city is catching-up with western hotels and western-leaning entertainment. Getting some action won’t be a problem – just don’t expect too many good bars outwith the hotels.

No legal strip clubs but hookers are everywhere, especially close to the big hotels.

Guangzhou Hotels

Grand Palace Hotel
