ABOUT ME
An outdoor guy, love to travel.
Spending a whole afternoon reading books while listening music is what I like to do on Sunday.
I like my city, Guangzhou (Canton) very much, a lot of European people knew the name via "Canton Fair", but Guangzhou has much more than "fair". With more than 2000 years history, you can't feel the inner beauty of this city unless standing right here. Guangzhou was the only port in ancient China to be allowed to trade with foreign countries for hundred years, that's why it's named the start of "Ocean Silk Road". We hosted Asian Games in November 2010, of which made this city more active and enthusiastic.
PHILOSOPHY
"Well, so what? I may be a idiot, but most of the time, anyway, i tried to do the right thing and dreams is just dreams, ain't they? So whatever else has happened, i am figgering this: I can always look back and say, at least I ain't led no hum-drum life."
From Forrest Gump.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would like to host for travelers, if by chance not convenient to host, still glad to show them around the town, introducing the history and interesting things about my city, Guangzhou (or Canton as someone understood). For sure you will love the taste of Cantonese food, includes Dimsum, noodles, and ...... a lot..
