Discover Cantonese food beyond a single basket of dim sum on a private morning food walk through Guangzhou's Liwan and Xiguan old town. Following the transfer included with your selected option, start at a traditional tea house for yum cha and learn Cantonese tea etiquette. Sample dishes such as har gow, siu mai, rice rolls and char siu buns.

Continue through historic Lingnan arcade streets to a wet market, where your English-speaking local foodie guide explains everyday ingredients. Visit a heritage noodle shop for bamboo-pole noodles or beef-brisket noodles, then a soup specialist for slow-simmered Cantonese soup. Finish at a dessert parlour with traditional sweet soup. The six or more food and drink tastings are substantial enough for a meal.

Expect about 2-3 kilometres of walking. The hotel option lasts about 4.5 hours including transfers, the Guangzhou South Station option about 5 hours, and the Baiyun Airport option about 5.5 hours.
