One of the most BEAUTIFUL churches I’ve ever seen!

And it’s in Guangzhou, China.

The “Sacred Heart Cathedral Church” 耶穌聖心主教座堂 of GuangZhou.

Literally means the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Located on Yide Street which is in the heart of Guangzhou, the Sacred Heart Cathedral is the grandest and most characteristic Roman Catholic church in the city.

At the facade of the Sacred Heart Cathedral

It is also known as the “Stone House”, as all of the walls and columns are made of granite.

The Sacred Heart Church was built between 1863 and 1888, funded by the French government.

The atmosphere of the church can be compared to the churches in Europe.

Breathtakingly gorgeous stained glasses applied on the windows of the Sacred Heart church that incorporate narratives drawn from the Bible, history or literature.

The church is an imitation of a European gothic cathedral, which is based on the Basilica of St.Clotilde in Paris and its tower spire reaches 58.5 meters high.

However, it has similar appearances to the famous Notre Dame of Paris.

The Sacred Heart Church retains a stunning surrealistic “cityscape” mix, with its beautiful grotesque Gothic architecture sitting surround by modern-style structures.

Aww it’s too pretty! I was literally in awe.

我最爱的凉皮。

起初吃起来有点怪怪的，因为面条很冷。

但过了不久就越吃越好吃了。

酸酸辣辣的凉皮吃起来真的很有口感，还非常令人开胃呢！

One of the famous street food I found in GuangZhou, called “Liang Pi” – literally means cold skin.

A dish of glass noodles that is much bigger and slightly thicker than our Kuey Teow.

Served cold, Liang Pi is mixed with peanuts, bean sprouts, dried bean curds, shredded cucumbers etc, and drenched in a kind of savory spicy sauce that made the noodles so addictively tasty and crunchy!

Definitely a MUST try if you’re there. =)

Yums! *thumbs up*

Eat Love Share, Esty.

每分每秒, 人来人往。

The amount of people going in and out GuangZhou Metro is just terrifying.

Probably ten times more than our KL Central.

真是好笑。请告诉我, 此话何解呢?

Well it’s written there “The urban rail public transportation makes you happy every single day”

Right. -.-’ Definitely not for me.

广州人那么多，我都快透不过气来了。

There are so many people in the train I can hardly breathe.

但总算地铁里还瞒干净。

Anyhow, the train is surprisingly clean.

路程

The route around the city

好心情是假的啦, 给我们带来方便就倒是真的。

Frankly, taking the train does not make me any happier.

However, with the amount of people and the massive jam on the streets, it does make it so much easier for us to travel around the city.

See Love Share, Esty.

It was just about 2 months ago when I went on a trip to Guangzhou, visiting the Canton Fair (known as the largest China import and export fair), and discovering the best Cantonese delicacies in the city itself.

My favorite travel wallet where I keep my passport, boarding pass, and other important documents.

Was surprised to see that just how cute my flight to Guangzhou is.

Air Asia’s Junior Jet Club. Adorable, isn’t it? *grins*

I saw my little red luggage! Just right there, sandwiched in the middle.

And surprisingly enough, I was on cloud nine to know that my friend was the co-pilot to fly the plane to Guangzhou when the Captain announced who his First Officer was.

So we ended up chatting away at the back of the aircraft, and I was introduced to the hot cabin crews on board.

Oh lucky me! 

 Carts of warmly kept delicious in-flight meal.

They were so nice to give me a box of Krispy Kreme, a cup of hot coffee, and a bottle of water.

Guess my flight wasn’t so boring afterall. 

Yummy Yum! Everything tastes extremely good when you’re flying on a plane.

And then I was invited into the cockpit!

It’s my turn to control the flight deck.

Hello there sexy pilot, Edmund Tan!

Arrived safely in Guangzhou. *flying kisses*

Salute to the pilots who flew us there safely.

Oh did I mention that the landing was perfectly smooth too?

Captain and the co-pilot. *winks*

And then… 

My Very First Meal in Guangzhou!

 The famous Fast-Chinese-Food chain in China, the “真功夫”.

Looked like a KFC to me, but indeed they serve undeniably good Chinese food! 

 My Dinner Set. Well, supper actually.

 Fragrant steamed rice.

 Delectable steamed pork cake with preserved vegetables in it. 

 Mouth-watering chicken herbal soup that I was happily slurping away.

 Silky smooth steamed egg that was extremely irresistible.

 Another dish of heavenly steamed pork.

Well-seasoned steamed vegetables. 

Little curry fishballs.

Literally means “Real KungFu”.

Happily stuffing myself  in Guangzhou.

At first I thought that was a beansprout in that bowl of steamed egg.

Then only I found out that it’s a cute little fresh Anchovy!

Till then loves!

Will see you in the next entry on my Little Travel Journal.

Yours truly, Esty.
