Day 11 - female Singaporean
solo travelling China (Guangzhou) 🇨🇳 

Traveling solo in China can be both exciting and enriching, especially when you venture beyond big cities like Guangzhou to places like Foshan. From my experience, the journey between Guangzhou and Foshan is quite straightforward and offers a great opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture. Foshan is often underrated but is known for its rich heritage in traditional furniture craftsmanship and delicious local cuisine. I found it worthwhile to hire a local photographer and makeup artist to capture these moments; it really added a personal touch to my solo trip and helped me connect with locals. If you're planning a day trip from Guangzhou to Foshan, it’s best to prepare for efficient travel—many travelers use trains or buses, as the distance is manageable for a day outing. Be sure to explore spots where you can try authentic dishes like clay pot rice, which I highly recommend. Solo female travelers should also be mindful of safety and local customs, but my experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I felt welcomed throughout my journey. Following local Instagram accounts or travel blogs can provide helpful tips and inspiration for your own travel plans. Overall, this solo journey has been empowering, allowing me to discover new places, meet amazing people, and savor unique experiences in Guangdong province.
