Welcome to our first day in China! As Americans, our view of China stretches from a modern cyberpunk dystopia to a falling power. So we decided to see how true any of that is. In this video we are going to be giving you our first impressions of Guangzhou China as we answer the question; what is China really like?

We start this vlog by getting some food at the airport before entering our first metro system in China. We took this metro to the East Guangzhou Railway station which was an epic underground mall system as well. We then exited the railway station to get our first view of Guangzhou.

Next, we were off to Huacheng Square to get a view of the epic Canton tower, one of the landmarks of the city. Althought the weather was gloomy and cold the night turned out well as the clouds cleared and the tower lit up for an epic view. We also got to explore the Mall of The World which was a massive underground complex that was located directly beneath the square. While in the mall we got ourselves some delicious Chinese food before heading back to our hotel and giving our final thoughts on the first day in Guangzhou and our final thoughts on china!

Our first glimpse of Guangzhou was from Huacheng Square, where we admired the Canton Tower, even with gloomy weather. The night offered a stunning view as the clouds cleared. We explored the Mall of the World, a massive underground complex, enjoying delicious Chinese food before returning to our hotel. Our initial impressions of Guangzhou and China were overwhelmingly positive and surprising.
