We attended an unbelievable Chinese New Year celebration in China! We were completely shocked by China's Spring Festival in Guangzhou and we take you across the city to some place we did not expect in China! Join us on another incredible journey in South China. It's Chinese New Year here in Guangzhou China and today we are heading back out into the streets to see what we can experience for the most famous holiday in China! We start this video by heading to a famous Guangzhou walking street trying to go to the restaurant with the best dim sum in Guangzhou but... it was closed... so we looked around for a second option where we were able to find a restaurant selling some Cantonese food so we tried Cantonese white chicken for the first time and delicious chinese fried buns. We left the restaurant got some more Chinese Milk tea and headed out to a new area of Guangzhou that was very unexpected. There were still futuristic chinese buildings, mixed with the peaceful and calm feel of a clean suburb. Super interesting! After that we went down to check out Yuexiu Park where there was a Chinese New Year Lantern Festival. We got our ticket and walked around the INSANELY crowded park. Where we saw some amazing Chinese New Year lanterns and devoured so much Chinese street food! We were planning to watch the Chinese New Year Guangzhou Firework show but sadly trying to leave the Lantern Park was harder than we expected. It was filled to the brim with people which resulted in the Metro being completely backed up and unable to be used. We ended up missing the firework show but went back to Beijing Road in Guangzhou to finish out the night with some futuristic chinese vending machine ice cream, the best milk tea we tried so far in China, and eating at one of the highest rated restaurants in Guangzhou china! What a overwhelming day in China! We got on the Guangzhou metro and headed out to the Chinese Suburbs. It was an incredibly peaceful area, very clean, and with so much open...

Travel Guides & Tips in this video

TriFate Lifestyle visit Guangzhou during Chinese New Year. Their search for dim sum runs into closed shops, so they look for other places to eat and try Cantonese dishes including white chicken. The city has contrasting scenes: a peaceful suburb, local interactions and a crowded Lantern Festival at Yuexiu Park. They receive red envelopes, explore street stalls and later see futuristic vending-machine ice cream. The crowds make transportation difficult, and they miss the fireworks, but the lantern displays and other food stops continue the day. The vlog captures both the practical challenge of closed businesses during the holiday and the festive activity that draws many people into the city.

Chinese New Year and closed shops

TriFate Lifestyle spend Chinese New Year in Guangzhou and begin by looking for dim sum. Some local markets and restaurants are closed for the holiday, including the famous restaurant they hoped to visit. They find another local restaurant and try Cantonese food, including white chicken. The search changes their plan but gives them another meal and a look at local dining.

The group also travels outside the busiest tourist areas, using the metro to reach a quieter suburb. The contrast between the peaceful neighborhood and the city's central holiday crowds is striking. They meet local people, receive red envelopes and explore street vendors. A unique milk tea is another stop before they head to the Lantern Festival.

Yuexiu Park Lantern Festival

Yuexiu Park becomes the main event of the day. The Lantern Festival displays lights and traditional designs, but the crowds are large. The group tries to leave in time for the fireworks, but the number of people makes transportation difficult and they miss the show. They still see the lanterns and continue with the evening. A futuristic ice-cream vending machine catches their attention, and they end the outing with another meal at a restaurant.

The video shows Guangzhou's mix of Chinese New Year traditions, food and modern city life. It also gives practical context: some shops close on the first day of the holiday, popular events bring heavy crowds, and getting away from the park can take time. The group's experience moves from a closed dim sum shop to food alternatives, suburbs, lantern displays and a difficult journey through the festival crowds.
