Guangdong (formerly Canton), a coastal province of southeast China, borders Hong Kong and Macau.  Its capital, Guangzhou, sits within its industrial Pearl River Delta region.  While I don\u2019t remember all the places we went on the 6-day gourmet food tour around Guangdong, I certainly remember some of the tastiest food we ate and I\u2019m glad I took some pictures.  Cantonese cuisine is one of China\u2019s Eight Traditional Cuisines, it is also popular in the western world .  Roast pigeon, egg custard, abalone, duck, crab, double-skin milk, dim-sum, roast suckling pig, and Foshan Chen-village noodle are among the favorite, too many to name the others.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160523_033642.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160523_033642-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160523_033642-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160523_033642-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160523_033642-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160523_033642.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong1-237x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"443\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong1-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong1.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong2-258x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"407\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong2-258x300.jpg 258w, https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong2.jpg 522w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong3-300x111.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"129\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong3-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/daileytravelservice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Guangdong3.jpg 527w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Below are some of the pictures I took around the region.  Best of all, I got to see two college friends whom I haven\u2019t seen since we graduated from Fudan University many many years ago.  It was delightful to see them and chat with them, even though it was a short time.
