「隆莊飲食思意」 While I was in Guangzhou this summer, I noticed a few of these "restaurants" opened and is gaining quite the popularity among the locals. They call them village dining. These restaurants are typically located deep within gated villages in various of China. My dad's friends live in one of these villages and so we were introduced to the cuisine. Although I do not and will not accept some of the things that they eat, there are a few items of the menu that I liked - like the fresh, organic, and green vegetables! The restaurant that we dined in was a treehouse-esque type of room. It's hung over a cliff with nothing but bamboo providing support and thick ropes pulling the house taught on land. What I enjoyed most about this dining experience was the serene and beautiful view we had. It was truly an authentic Chinese cuisine. x RL #DineInChina #LiveAuthentic

Inside Redtory 「紅專廠」 | Guangzhou, China Before my trip to China this summer, I asked my coworker, Tracy, to find cool places to check out in Guangzhou - since I'd be staying there the longest. She's from Weizhou, a city not too far from Guangzhou in China. After a few quick moment, Tracy pulled up a list of activities to do while in Guangzhou and the Redtory was the number one spot of that list. The Chinese name directly translate to Red-profession-factory; I guess that's how they got the name, "Redtory?" - I'm not too sure about that. It took a while for me to find this hidden hotspot. We took the subway, then walked for what it seemed like forever until we found a local who pointed us to the wrong direction. (Tip: don't ask elderly locals for directions to trendy locations in China) We finally made it to the can factory turned creative haven. The place was great! It was open and young people roamed everywhere. However, this was my favorite spot in this mini-city. This is an art shack combined with a café (cafés are everywhere in China now) that brings a cozy feeling when stepping in. It shuts the noisy traffic, within the Redtory, out and I felt as if I was in another part of town. This was just a small snippet I wanted to share from my trip to Guangzhou this summer. I am currently battling jet lag. x RL
