The land of dreams, China

The first stop was Guangzhou. This city, which is very close to Hong Kong, is highly developed. Other cities were also very modern, but this city seemed cleaner and more organized to me. Maybe it’s because he centers on fairs at least twice a year. Who knows, maybe there is another fair every day in this city. We settled in the hotel and started exploring the streets directly. First of all, let’s see how the city is from the hotel. NIGHT-DAY GUANGZHOU Our hotel was not very close to the fair. Actually, this was a very special chance for me. In a district where we can see the daily life of the people, I had the opportunity to shop from the local shops away from the exorbitant prices offered to tourists. We tasted interesting fruits. As you can see from the photographs, these are the things I haven’t heard of. I named the fruit peeled by the fruit-growing boy “Chinese grapefruit”. Dryer and sweeter grapefruit. My research started before my travel preparations started. I briefly learned what to eat, where to visit, how to shop. Many of the prejudices in my mind were also gone. Like every Turk (or every citizen who resembles me), I made our food stock first before the trip. With the experience of living in a hand country before, I put my cheese and bread in my suitcase in the most protected way in order not to spoil my taste. There were instant cakes, chocolates and even baklava just in case. I also bought our tea maker, as I thought they were not fond of tea like us. As someone who seeks a taste from my own land in every country I visit, I have to say that in a country where green tea is drunk so much, it is another pleasure to drink my Rize tea. CANTON CANTON! To talk about the fair, millions of people visit Canton fair. It’s like a small world. I think no one has seen this place. Photos give you some idea. Oh, we just finished the section about us in 4 days without forgetting. I don’t know how soon we can finish the whole fair anymore. I was so tired of going to the fair that I didn’t even care about the many hidden paradises in Guangzhou that I couldn’t visit. At this intense pace, I finally found it together and Mr. We accepted Zhou’s offer and went out to dinner. The Chinese also have a similar sense of pleasure to the Turks. We are so used to placing a restaurant on each hill and a tea garden on each waterfront that I have had the absence of such places in New Jersey and New York where I have lived for a long time. Isn’t it odd to have only one cafe on a long river bank? Anyway, let’s turn our route to Guangzhou in the opposite direction.

The Chinese have both an eye and a sense of feeding just like us, but the only difference is the size of our portions. The factory manager we work with is Mr. Zhou took us to a nice restaurant with river view. As far as I later learned, Bin Jiang Palace was known as a luxury restaurant in that area. In this restaurant furnished with feng shui design, besides the scattered table style, a special room system is applied, just like the Khedive Kasr. We decorated our night by chatting and eating Chinese food in a private room overlooking the river. I, who love every culture very much, unfortunately cannot be that free about food. Trying different flavors is harder for me than ditching a camel. Mr. Zhu ordered mussels for us, a delicious fish named “Donshin” (a feature of this fish, which lived where the sea and the river meet, and was a very valuable fish), shrimp, boiled lettuce and many seafood. I am not very fond of seafood, but I can say it was the best fish I have ever eaten. And how did they tie those crabs up, those slanted eyes are a world! A FRIDAY in China After the fair, we decided to go to the Friday prayer. Mosques often give you the opportunity to see people you know and meet new people. Huaisheng Mosque is very close to the old fair and is an indispensable place for people of all nationalities on Fridays. “Go even if Ilim Cinde” Many good answers came to this hadith since centuries ago, and our companions, masters, came to China for both teaching and knowledge.

One of them is Ebi Vakkas, the blessed uncle of the Prophet. We visited the tomb, which is very close to the fair. May Allah be pleased with Him! Highly recommended for those who come to Guanzghou. You will both see a mosque with Chinese architecture and understand the consciousness of notification from centuries ago. The mosque part is reached by walking through a long courtyard. Then we see a mosque courtyard and a courtyard again. In other words, the grave of our companion master is in a very sheltered place. THE MOST INTERESTING They do not latch the clothes, they hang them with a coat hanger, Any type of advertisement is permissible, Actually we got used to it but cycling is part of life, And the veil-cover understanding that is just like the people of my country.
