2
Ping An International Finance Centre

Food & drink

Start with Cantonese dim sum for breakfast or lunch; order a few baskets to share and expect queues at popular spots.
Try street snacks in older districts: rice rolls, fish balls and grilled skewers; prices are low, often under ¥30 a portion.
Seafood is a local favourite; pick your fish and agree the price per weight before cooking.
Night markets and food streets are busiest after 8pm; go hungry and carry small cash as a backup.
Book popular restaurants ahead on weekends; many city malls have good mid-range chains with English menus.

Tips

WeChat Pay and Alipay are essential as physical cash is almost completely obsolete
Visit Huaqiangbei to experience the largest electronics market in the world
The metro is cheap and the absolute best way to get around the sprawling city
VPNs are required to access Western websites and apps (Google, WhatsApp, etc) while on local networks
Many locals are migrants from other provinces, so Mandarin is spoken much more than Cantonese
