Bored of your T usual restaurants? If your answer’s “yes” to any of these queries, it’s time to go underground. Those who commute to work by metro may already be familiar with the commercial areas in some of the stations, such as Fashion Time in Chegongmiao and Link City between Shopping Park and Convention & Exhibition Center. Featuring boutiques, groceries, local eateries and international products, these underground districts are micro-communities where shoppers can easily spend a day.

That being said, The Middle Kingdom, W and specifically Guangdong Province, harbors no shortage of unique camping locations.
