Trip Moments Recommendations
In Guangzhou? A visit to the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, 陈家祠, is a must. Dating originally to the late Qing Dynasty (though heavily restored in parts), the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is one of the finest examples of Lingnan architecture and art. In addition to the building itself, richly ornamented with wood and stone carving and ceramic decorations, it is home to the Guangdong Folk Arts Museum, a small but excellently curated display of permanent and rotating exhibits including Chaozhou woodcarving, ceramics, ivory carving, embroidery, paper cutting and more.
This is a place I always bring visitors to Guangzhou.
Place: Chen Clan Ancestral Hall 陈家祠

Lee's Diner is a trip to 1950s USA right in the middle of old Canton. In a rather unexpected location amongst the dim sum, herbal tea shops and qilou of Yuexiu District is this perfect representation of Americana in design and cuisine. I forgot to take any pictures of the restaurant itself because I was too busy enjoying the food, but a juke box, candy-apple red booths and the decorations on the wall give just the right amount of kitsch to be comfortable. My Lee's Burger was probably the best hamburger I've had in China, though I could have done with a few more chips. Also pictured: the Lee's Hotdog and chicken and waffles. The waffles were a little bit dry but the chicken perfectly fried. Highly recommended are their milkshakes, made with real ice cream. They also have draught beer and a large selection of bottles.
