HOW TO GO GUANGZHOU(GZ) FROM ZHUHAI.

To Guangzhou by bus. 3 possible destinations are Liuhua bus station (流花车), Guangzhou bus station (汽车客运) and Provincial bus station (省汽车客运). all these bus stations are within walking distance to one another.
Purchase bus tickets from Gongbei coach station 拱北汽车总站.

there is a 10% off ticket total price if you stay at yongtong hotel 永通酒店. the hotel is right beside the bus terminal.

Present the coupon to the counter staff, pay them and get the bus tickets! simple.
the bus ticket will show you your bus destination.

When i went in may, the bus stop at the provincial bus station (省汽车客运站).

cost: RMB $68 per person per journey. (after 10% discount)
total traveling time: 2 hr 30 mins. (no toilet breaks)

bus interval of every 10 mins from GZ to zhuhai. HAHA.
no need to buy tickets in advance, just purchase tickets when you reach the bus terminal.

a bottle of mineral water is given free.
very easy to go de la. ^^

clothes are generally cheaper in GZ than shenzhen, but quality isnt good la.
(you pay for the quality of clothes you buy.)

you cant expect sth $5 SGD to be of good quality right.
we need to be practical a bit. LOL.
seriously, might as well don buy. HAHAHA. i think la. loose threads everywhere, quality so chui, even if its cheap, might as well don buy. LOL.

good quality clothes come at a hefty price.

should you want to go, consider gg to 白马服装批发市场.
they entertain single piece sale.
things are cheaper there too. (:
not ajuma fashion k!
cater more to youngsters, japanese-korean fashion.

don bother gg the top clothes clothes underground wholesale centre la.
广州地一大道(亚洲首席地下服装展贸.)

its very ex, even if you buy in bulk. LOL.
they don entertain single piece sale.

go 上下九街 for shopping! it is something like a night market. Things are cheaper, food are all over the place. There are stores and shops on both side of street, stretching over 1km.

How to go: 上下九街

Changshoulu station 长寿路, exit D2. walk in the direction of the traffic flow along Bao hua road 宝华路 then turn left to DishiFu road 第十甫路 . walking further straight brings to the Xia Jiu Lu 下九路 first, then continue walking up, leads you to shang jiu lu 上九路.

this is their main shopping area. sth like the Singapore bugis street.
things are cheaper. shop closes at 10pm?

that is probably all that you need to know abt GZ! (:
the rest is probably too chim for you to know.
and i don think you have the time to explore!
so, no need to know. LOL.

just walking through this 2 areas take you 2 days liao.

p/s: some shops can bargain, some shops cant.
if you feel that its ex, then don buy. should they ask you to come back, means can bargain.
usually if they say cannot bargain, the price is not ridiculously high de la.
but if you think its ex. you can always walk away. (:
