Tangshi 1st Street

Tucked away in Guangzhou's Kelangmao district, Tangshi First Street is a hidden alleyway gem where Lingnan-era houses rub shoulders with hipster cafes. The whir of pottery wheels mingles with claypot rice aromas, while a 200-year-old banyan tree erupting through a rooftop will transport you back in time. Don't miss granny's legendary ginger milk pudding at the lane's end when lanterns glow - that fiery-sweet punch embodies authentic Cantonese soul.
