I go there for shopping, but Guangzhou's not exactly a place filled with tourist attractions. Those listed above are what the tourism department wants to market, but... they're mostly quite boring to the Westerner. Might be able to ID some places once photos come in!

I remember Qingping Market used to sell live scorpions (where old ladies would pick them up with chopsticks and put them into water bottles for sale), but I'm not sure if they (and the cats and other assorted animals) have been cleared out after SARS.

I'd like them to try to find someone in front of Guangzhou Train Station. *evil grin*
