Travel Guides & Tips in this video
Lizzy sets herself the challenge of crossing China in one day, starting in Shenzhen and continuing through Guangzhou to Shanghai. She takes a high-speed train, uses the subway, visits the Canton Fair, and flies onward. The journey includes a stop at the Gree booth, where she tests an air conditioner described as operating at 15 decibels. A taxi from the fair to the airport costs 367 RMB plus tolls, prompting her to compare ride choices. During the airport wait she visits the Time Space Tunnel and uses a nap pod costing 50 RMB. In Shanghai, a late ride takes her along roads that seem rural, and she reaches a hotel outside the city center. She also discusses using a passport for train travel, navigating subway signs, airport pickup levels, and choosing the correct terminal.

From Shenzhen to the Canton Fair
Lizzy sets out to travel from Shenzhen to Shanghai in one day, relying on public transport for the long route. She begins with a Didi ride to Futian station in Shenzhen, then boards a high-speed train to Guangzhou South. She describes booking through Trip.com and using her passport as the ticket at the gate. After a crowded subway ride, she reaches the Canton Fair. There she visits the Gree booth and tests an ultra-quiet air conditioner that the video says operates at 15 decibels. Lizzy also explains that she applied online for a buyer's badge to enter the fair and says a company was not required for registration.
Airport transfer and Shanghai
The transfer from the fair to the airport becomes an expensive lesson: Lizzy takes a taxi, which costs 367 RMB plus tolls. She later recommends considering Didi for the ride. At the Guangzhou airport, she sees the futuristic Time Space Tunnel and spends 50 RMB on a nap pod before her flight to Shanghai. The video also shows the crowded and sometimes complex side of moving through transport hubs, including the need to choose the correct pickup level when ordering a Didi at Shanghai airport, where seven levels are available.
After arriving in Shanghai, Lizzy takes a late-night ride along roads that seem rural and reaches a hotel outside the city center. She says she felt safe traveling alone, describing her own experience rather than making a promise about every trip. The day combines a high-speed train, subway, flight, and rideshare with a visit to the Canton Fair. Her practical observations include using a passport for train travel, navigating with subway signs and a map app, checking the terminal, and being precise about airport pickup and drop-off points.
