Why Guangzhou may be for you!

Our "1a REAL China Home" is our main resting point during our stays in China. Here we return again and again to enjoy the amenities of Chinese city-life and culture. We like our "village-home", with basically Chinese furniture and decoration, but also modern "Western" addons. We like to explore small shops, market halls, supermarkets, lots of tiny to large restaurants of very different provenience, and sometimes also large shopping malls, all more or less near to our door. We visit cultural places and museums nearby, looking to maintain our understanding of (Chinese) history and culture, to better understand the past (and hopefully also the future a little bit). And all of this is done by using our "1a REAL China Access" as a start and resting point, which makes life in a rather "unknown" environment often full of people so much more efficient and convenient. We really LIKE this place!

 Besides, our "GZ Home" is a rather convenient place as a traveling base: We can reach lots of attractions and sights around GZ by subway or train within 1day tours, cf eg Honkong, Macau, and all major places in China around can be visited by high-speed trains or plains (taxi to airport 30min, 1.5 h by submarine). As we like to travel with our Micro-Camper "Yongshi", we made several "expeditions" to the most provinces of China over 4 years and about 80 000 km, between 0 and 5500 maSL and -20 to +50 degC. And allways our "1a REAL China Access" was the starting and return point. As a result, you may identify some of our traveling areas from appropriate decoration elements in our "GZ Home"...

One special hint in this context: Normally, as a foreigner, you can travel individually by car in China only, if you "invite" an "official guide" to go with you, and you have to pay for him, of course, not to mention the "discussions" about routing. We found an appropriate way, to avoid such a "guide" on all of our China tours! Please, let us know, if you want to learn, how it can be done...
