Hello everyone, my name is Momo (Maomao). We are at Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street in Liwan District, Guangzhou. Later, I will take you to taste two Michelin-listed restaurants, both of which are time-honored noodle restaurants. Later, I will take a tour of the ancient buildings around Shangxiajiu. I will also recommend good hotels along the way to everyone. Let’s start GO. Unexpectedly, Guangzhou Restaurant is being renovated. Shangxiajiu Road is also being renovated. The place is fenced off and the road is being built next to it. The sidewalk has become narrower. If you stay here recently, you may not be able to move around. It’s too convenient and noisy. This food street has been around for a long time. It used to be a very famous hotel [Guangzhou Shifu VOCO Hotel]. The previous name was more familiar [Guangzhou Shifu Holiday Hotel] . The brand was changed in 2023 but it was last renovated. It is already 2015. It is located on the main street near Shangxiajiu. There are many time-honored restaurants nearby. It is considered a relatively good hotel in the Shangxiajiu area. The price is about 400 yuan for a 30 square meter room with a window. The disadvantage is that it is not far from Changshou Road Station or Huangsha Station. You need to walk 800 meters from Hualin Temple Subway Station . Taking a taxi in the old town is not convenient. I don’t recommend this option for those with more luggage. The advantage here is that it is located in the middle of various attractions. Whether you walk to Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street or Yongxingfang of Shamian Island, it is only a few hundred meters away. In addition to the food court downstairs , there is a very authentic Zhusheng Noodle shop [Zhuyuan] on Shibafu South Road. It has been on the Michelin list for six consecutive years and I personally think it is the best restaurant in Guangzhou. One of Zhusheng Noodles. Now go in and eat noodles. This is an old Zhusheng Noodles restaurant in Xiguan. I want a ginger and green onion noodles and a lard noodles . OK . After receiving 24 yuan, order and pay at the front desk. Take the pick-up sign and sit down while waiting for the food to be delivered. You can order immediately and cook the lard noodles for 10 yuan. Ginger and green onion noodles for 14 yuan. Every time we come here, we order these two. Eat the lard noodles first . It is recommended to pour some soy sauce to fry them first. Ladle the lard evenly to achieve the best result with the noodles. If it feels a bit dry, add some soup and you can eat it. The noodles are as good as ever. The noodles are refreshing, chewy and chewy. The lard noodles have a very fragrant lard flavor . The texture is bouncy and fragrant. Although you will feel a slight alkaline taste after eating it for a long time, lard noodles can better taste the unique noodle flavor of Zhusheng noodles. Sometimes the simplest combination is the best. If you think lard noodles are better, If the noodles are light, you can try the ginger and scallion noodles. The ginger and scallion flavor is very fragrant, just enough to cover up the smell of the alkaline water, so you won’t taste the alkaline water taste. Moreover, the ingredients of the ginger and scallion noodles here are super good. Even if it comes with two green vegetables, you still need to stir. Eat it evenly. After scooping it up evenly, start eating the ginger and scallion noodles. The flavor is very rich and just overpowers the taste of alkaline water . If you don’t like the taste of alkaline water and think the lard noodles are too bland, I recommend you choose the ginger and scallion noodles and drink the soup after finishing the noodles. The soup is clear and you can taste the flavors of earth fish and shrimp. After eating it, you can also buy the noodles in a package like this [20 yuan per pound]. The one packaged in a gift box is probably more expensive. Many people drive here to buy it. After finishing the noodles, I went shopping and talked about the Bamboo Rising Noodles [Zhuyuan Bamboo Rising Noodles]. I personally think it is the best. It has been produced for many years and is still excellent and stable. But it is just the simplest cooking method for the Bamboo Rising Noodles. If it is wonton noodles, I think there are more Good choices. If you want to eat more delicious food with me, listen to the most authentic food reviews, follow my channel, like and share. Explore a GO. In addition to VOCO Hotel, this [Chaoman Hotel] is also a good choice. It is next door to VOCO Hotel. It will not be until 2021. The opening is a new hotel. The location has advantages and disadvantages. The VOCO hotel is consistent and cheaper. The room price is about 300 yuan. The biggest disadvantage is that they are basically windowless rooms. Some are more expensive, some are cheap, and some are cheaper. The Guangzhou restaurant is being renovated and it is very big this time. The scale is basically only the facade. The inside is completely demolished. A preview picture is posted on the door . The final effect will not be known until the revision is completed. The Shangxiajiu Main Street next to the renovation is relatively quiet. Wenchang South Road next to the renovation has retained many old shops . For example, the left hand side is now There is a Xiangqun Restaurant next to it , but it is not under the umbrella of the Yue Xiangqun Hotel. I hope some viewers can share the history. I am curious. Its menu is the same as that of Xiangqun Restaurant on Longjin Road, but it is not under the Xiangqun Restaurant Group after the renovation. It is within the Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street area except Another popular industry outside the Jade Antique City is the sale of hairdressing-related products such as wig wholesale, toiletries, etc. You can find it here. The transfer is [Wenchang Lane]. This primary school used to be [Wenchang Lane Primary School] and now it is [Wenchang Primary School ] 】It was merged. Lao Xiguan people went to either Wenchang Lane Primary School, Zhuji Road Primary School or Shamian Primary School when they were young. My friends almost entered Wenchang Lane Primary School and then chose another school after paying sponsorship fees. Which one did Lao Xiguan viewers go to? Has the primary school given any sponsorship fees? The current Wenchang Primary School has become larger after expansion. The equipment has also been updated and improved. The school uniforms of Wenchang Road Primary School are now red and gray. It is estimated that there is no shadow of the Wenchang Lane Primary School. The houses here are older and have two floors. The reason why Wenchang Lane, which is mainly composed of three-story self-built houses and has not been reorganized, is called Wenchang Lane is because there was once a [Wenchang Temple] here. In 1922, the Wenchang Temple was demolished and the original site was opened [Wenyuan Restaurant], one of the four largest restaurants in Guangzhou during the Republic of China. The most famous dish of one of the restaurants [Wenyuan] is Jiangnan Baihua Chicken, Coral and White Pigeon Preserved. In 1935, the [Southwest Restaurant] which was closer to the road opened, which is the predecessor of today's Guangzhou Restaurant. Since then, Wenyuan's business has not been as good as before . In 1938, when the war broke out, both Shiwen and Southwest Restaurants were destroyed. In recent years, it has been popular in Guangzhou to study ancient recipes. The head chef of China Hotel said that he has successfully reproduced Jiangnan Baihua Chicken. In the future, we will take everyone to try [Jiangnan Baihua Chicken] . Remember to follow me. Share it on your channel and let ’s explore the delicious food together. The old Xiguan house here is well preserved and I encountered many along the way. This is [Yu Guifang] (slip of the tongue) and it still maintains the brick roof. For safety , the bricks below the aluminum foil roof are covered. The tiled roofs still retain the ancient atmosphere and are well preserved. The streets are also kept very clean and tidy. Turning from Wenchang Lane, it is a quiet alley. The ancient Xiguan House is the most original village in Guangzhou. The roads are not wide but the greenery is very abundant and trimmed. There are many branches and leaves , and the neighbors are drying their own bacon. The weather is good and the weather is perfect for drying the bacon. Daily activities, Chinese quintessence exchanges, and the "crackling" mahjong sound. I wonder if you can hear it. This is [Jingshanli]. It houses an old big house with a unique style that is beyond imagination. It is [Wang Baojian Stone House] located at No. 13 Jingshanli, Wenchang South Road. It is a typical three-story stone house built in 1912. The materials are said to be the remaining stones from the Sacred Heart Church and the Customs Building. Who is Wang Baojian? It is said that he is a Western medicine doctor Mei Lan Fang has also been here. The exterior of Wang Baojian's Stone House is in the style of a Western-style mansion, but the interior is in Lingnan style . Unfortunately, it is temporarily closed and cannot be shown to everyone. It has been temporarily closed as a cultural relic protection unit. The whole temperament is different from other big houses in Xiguan. The weather is dry and the things are dry. Be careful about the fire. This house did not catch fire recently. It is just now that it has started to be repaired. It was burnt down many years ago due to other problems. There are many houses like this on Changshou Road. It was a long time ago. The restaurant is undergoing renovations and is currently undergoing renovations. However, our destination is further ahead, the [Kim Kee Noodle Shop], which has been on the Michelin list for six consecutive years. It is a time-honored restaurant that is most famous for its handmade Yifu noodles. When ordering at the noodle bar, ask for a serving of Beef Brisket with Fried Sauce and Longevity Yi Noodles with Fried Sauce Beef Brisket and Longevity Yi at the front desk - big, medium, small? Medium bowl - 23 yuan . Place your order, find a seat, and sit down. You don’t have to wait for a long time. It’s served. Beef brisket with fried sauce and long-lived noodles come with soup. It’s recommended to stir evenly and just toss. The noodles are very juicy. They are not as refreshing and chewy as bamboo noodles. They are soft. The taste of this noodle shop has led to praise and criticism for the products of this noodle shop in Laoxiguan. No one thinks it can be like this. Those who are looking for refreshing and chewy noodles should choose Zhusheng noodles and those who want a more obvious egg flavor should choose Longevity Yi noodles. It is one of the few places in Guangzhou where you can buy Longevity noodles. This is a Yi Mian shop. In the past, the elderly in the family would buy noodles here on their birthdays. When they go back and cook the Yi noodles, they can taste a more obvious egg flavor and absorb the aroma of the fried sauce. It tastes very good. Other styles of Yifu noodles will be dry, so it goes well with them. I had the soup , but the color of the soup was cloudy and the taste was average. I continued to eat noodles. The Yifu noodles I usually buy look like this. They are a must-have for birthdays. Now that I have tasted them, it is still worth a try. I am a veteran of decades. No. But remember, if you like to eat the refreshing and chewy Zhusheng noodles, choose [Zhuyuan] If you like to eat Yifu noodles, choose [Jianji] If you want to eat more good things, listen to the most authentic food experience, follow my channel, share and like Thank you, you are heading to Liwan Square. There are not many big-name hotels on the left side of Liwan Square. [Lavande Hotel] was renovated in 2019. It is located opposite Liwan Square. It is very close to Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street and Hualin Temple Subway Station. It is within walking distance to Shamian or Yongxing. It is about one kilometer away. The price of a room without windows is about 300 yuan. The price of a room with windows is about 400 yuan. It is a better choice in this area. Overall , it is relatively new . The renovation project of Shangxiajiu is quite large. Jiu Road is now very busy every day. Next, let’s talk about Xilai Gu’an in the old days when it was [Xiuyifang Pier]. At that time, Shangxia Jiu Road was a pier. The stone monument of the pier was probably enclosed at this location because it was being renovated . In 526 BC, Tianzhu The eminent monk Bodhidharma landed here , so it was renamed [Xilai Ancient Bank]. I looked for the historical site for a while, had a cup of tea here, and then went to Hualin Temple to take a look. The entire area is mainly engaged in jade business. Since ancient times, there has been a rule that jade can be sold here. You can ask, but you must bid carefully. Because after bidding, the merchant says "Sell", the customer must "Buy" and arrive at "Xi Lai Chu Di". There is an archway here built to commemorate Bodhidharma. Several nearby streets are Xi Lai Chu Di. Laizheng Street, Xilai West Street and Xilai East Street, it is said that Bodhidharma landed here, so it is called Xilai Chudi . Next to the Xilai Chudi historic site is the [Five Eye Well]. The historic site is a well dug by Bodhidharma, an Indian monk. It is very historical , but most of the people who come here are not for the ancient wells but for the Jade City to do wholesale business or buy jewelry. This place has been mainly engaged in jade business since the Qing Dynasty . It also has a long history. More than 80% of the jade articles in Guangzhou are sold from here. It is located in Xiajiu Xilai Chudi on Hualin Street between Changshou Road is the entrance, with Hualin Temple as the center , including Xilai Main Street, Hualin New Street, Maolin Main Street, and Xinsheng Street. In recent years, popular jade shops have become more popular than before. From time to time, Prosperity can encounter anchors selling goods. What is buying goods ? It means selecting goods and negotiating prices with the audience while walking . Or is it recommended to see the goods in person and purchase in person? It is very important to bring an ultraviolet lamp if you have basic knowledge , otherwise a lamp can't help much. According to Wenjie Shop owners are either rich or noble. If you are looking for a high-end street shop, you will have more choices to show your knowledge of goods . Only the boss will display their high-quality goods. Not far ahead, Hualin Temple Entrance Heytea has launched a product with the Jingdezhen Museum. This pool , a joint product, has been here for a long time , almost in the same place as Hualin Temple. This was the main entrance of Hualin Temple. Now it is closed and under repair. You need to walk 150 meters forward to another door to enter and arrive at [Hualin Temple] , formerly [Western Temple ]. Lai'an] Xilai'an, which was built to spread Buddhism after Bodhidharma landed, was later renamed Hualin Temple. During the most prosperous period, the emperor gifted 22 relics and enshrined them here. At that time, it was called the first of the four jungles in Guangzhou. As the saying goes, " After the wine and meat passed through the intestines, the Buddha's heart remained " I won't take pictures in detail in the temple . After praying, I went to South China Jade Street for a stroll . I like drinking Hey Tea because ICBC has a Hey Tea discount. I used an ICBC credit card to buy 20 for 8.8 yuan a week. The cost of drinking Heytea with a Yuan voucher is similar to that of Ruixing. Not only jade but also antiques are available here. Many ladies go crazy shopping here, and all kinds of jade A and B are available for you to choose from. Not only jade, jewelry, various colored gems, agate, etc. can be found here. There are quite a few gold shops to find . I used to like to bring gold here to make gold jewelry , and they regularly re-make styles. Hualin Jade Street belongs to the area of Xilai Chudi. More than 80% of the jade in Guangzhou is here, and jade across the country is basically wholesale and sold from here. Go out here and get close to Exit D of Hualin Temple Subway Station. Turn around at the subway station and walk a little further, which is another historical witness. Walk along Kangwang South Road and you will see this antique brick house. This house was not here in the early days because it gave way to Kangwang Road. It was moved here and is now the only fully preserved Qing Dynasty industry guild hall in Guangzhou [Jinlun Guild Hall]. The architectural details are very charming and worth savoring slowly. It was built in the first year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1723) and was Guangzhou from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. As a hall of the industry, it is now more about displaying Xiangyunsha. The opening hours are from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. It is free and miserable. No reservation is required . Regardless of the scale or the sophistication of the building, it is luxurious and traditional. It is after school. The crowd of parents who are very crowded at time are doing their best to attract children. Area C of Hualin International Jade City is the area with the most complete variety of live broadcast venues. The other area D is mainly engaged in color treasures. Area B is mainly engaged in crystal. Area A is mainly engaged in processing. The most prosperous area is Area C, so it has the most people. If you are new to this treasure land to study, Area C has all kinds of colorful treasures, crystals, jade, jade, old wood and antiques. Come over here. I have something to deal with. I'll see you at dinner later. I'm done. Back next door to Kin Kee Noodle Shop [Tong Kee Chicken Porridge] is also a Michelin-listed shop. The white-cut chicken is sold by the pound for 60 yuan per pound. Although there are large, medium and small portions, it is actually counted. The opening hours are 11:30 noon. By 10:30 in the evening, the main food was porridge, noodles, and pho. I had already placed an order for chicken porridge, half a white-cut chicken and a portion of dry-fried beef. The white-cut chicken here is paired with yellow mustard and soy sauce, which is a relatively rare combination in Guangzhou. For yellow mustard , first dip it in yellow mustard and then some soy sauce. It tastes very good. The food is served very quickly. Here we are eating chicken and chicken porridge . Fried beef river is already here. The porridge base of chicken porridge is very good. It is not watery. It's just that the ingredients at the cheaper price don't have enough flavor. It's relatively bland. Just add some pepper. I wanted to order the rice noodles but they said they were sold out, so I ordered the stir-fried beef river. The meat looks pretty good and the meat is relatively good. There is a lot of food for those who are interested, you can give it a try . The disadvantage is that the dining environment is relatively average. After all, it is an old house in a small alley, two steps away from Tongji and Jianji. If you want to check in, you can arrange to dine together. The environment is good for both families. They are all relatively local and old-fashioned. If you have high environmental requirements, I suggest you consider carefully.
