a bowl of raw fish with congee,
listening to the old ladies hawking Chencun rice noodles in Cantonese…
I knew – this is the soul of Cantonese life.
No need to fly far,
you can have a culinary journey through Guangzhou for just 1000 yuan.
This weekend, put down your takeout, step into the old streets,
