Laptop recommendation at 7000 rmb

I cannot access Chinese websites to check the catalogue since they do not accept phone numbers from my country. Can someone suggest some shops? I will be in China on Friday. Also, can i get one with English windows version ?

[Research Questionnaire Invitation: Exploring Psychological Traits and Interpersonal Experiences in the Chinese Context]

Hi everyone! My name is Lee Hoi Ieng (Leona), a Master’s student in Clinical Psychology at the University of Macau. Under the supervision of Professor O Jiaqing, I am currently conducting my thesis research.

This study aims to explore psychological traits and interpersonal experiences within the Chinese cultural context, with a particular focus on the roles of high sensitivity, rejection sensitivity, authenticity, relational need satisfaction, and self-compassion. Whether you tend to be highly observant and sensitive to your surroundings in daily life, or naturally resilient and easygoing, your unique interpersonal style carries irreplaceable academic value for this research. We sincerely invite individuals aged 18 or above with a Chinese cultural background to participate.

The questionnaire is strictly anonymous, and the data will be used solely for academic analysis. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Thank you very much for your time and for sharing this!

What to do in Guangzhou for 12 nights?

I recently posted asking for advice regarding accommodation recommendations in GZ.
We have yet to decide as we are unsure about the location.

Hoping to get some recommendations !
Please fill my 12 days in GZ!

Hoping to get some recs from the localssss :)
The more local it is, the better.

Food food food - not the touristy places but I do want to have a taste of the real local flavours. From cheap street eats to higher end restaurants.

Where would you recommend I stay - GZ is massive and I’m not sure which suburb would be suited.
We love exploring via public transport and I believe my wife can use the local uber equivalent if need be.

Child friendly spots! Little one is very active and loves the outdoors!
Context : 3 adults, 1 toddler
Travelling from Australia - partner speaks fluent Chinese and the local dialect (I don’t)

Thank you!!

Where should me and my partner live in Panyu?

Me and my partner have just arrived in Guangzhou and are both set to start jobs teaching English in Panyu, me in Huanan Country Garden, and my partner in Lijiang Garden. We're struggling to know where to start with flat hunting as there doesn't seem to be a simple commute between our workplaces. It seems like the two options are multiple buses or an hour on the metro.

I've attached screenshots of the two routes, does anyone know if any of the areas in between the two are nice places to live/somewhere where expats might live? Ideally we want to be closer to Lijiang Garden (where my partner will work) as he has an earlier start than me.

Guangzhou trip

Foreigner from Australia coming to visit Guangzhou for three weeks.

Weird question - but do you know anyone in Guangzhou who would be able to assist with translating, whilst I visit suppliers, for about a week or so?

It doesn’t have to be full time, but someone who could casually help out 2 or 3 times throughout the week. Nothing professional, maybe any connections you may personally have.

I’ll be wanting to visit some suppliers that I will search myself but will need someone to accompany for the day that can help with communicating with salespeople.

8 hours layover

Hello, we (a family of 3 travelling with a 5 year old toddler) have a 8 hours layover on our trip from Sydney to Amsterdam. I am wondering if it's worth making use of the free hotel provided by China Southern Airlines. Is 8hrs enough to go back and forth considering immigration and time to wait for the shuttle? Or should we aim for the lounge? I am not sure what to expect when it comes to moving around the airport and how long that takes (eg clearing out customs on both ends). Thanks!

Need help with proposal! [Zhujiang Park]

Hello,
German couple who will be visiting Guangzhou end of August, and I need help with picking the exact spot for my proposal.

I'm planning to do it in Zhujiang Park, since we both like nature and my girlfriend studies botany. She loves big, old trees.

Ideally I'd do it under a huge tree - and preferably where there's not other people around.

Where in the park do you think would be a good secluded spot for us? I've attached a map that I found of the park.

And is it OK to walk on the grass and not only on the paths, or do we need to stick to the paths?

And can we drink champagne in the park if we bring it, or is this also illegal/frowned upon?

I want to make sure we're being respectful and following local customs and laws.

Thank you!

Best hotel location in Guangzhou

Basically the title. I am traveling with my partner in December and we've booked [cancellable] a hotel in Tiyu Dong Road, Tian District. I wonder if that is a good location if we want to do a bit of shopping and explore of the local food scene in the city. We like a spot similar to Ximending area that's close to a train station and bus stops.

Feel free to drop your recos for 3-4 star hotels and local eats. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well.

I will be in Guangzhou in September and I am looking forward to get a new camera, specifically Sony.

Any recommendations of good stores to get one where local professionals would go for? I am not looking forward to get them in malls or anything like that because of price inflation.

Thank you in advance for your help!
