Young people in Guangzhou?!

Sadly I'm a little over the 30 years age group (only by 2 years!), but since I spend most of my life in GZ out and about, I'll give you some recommendations for places to go.

I recommend Paddyfield and Hooleys Irish pubs for meeting people and chatting away with strangers, and C:Union as a very cool chilled place to hang out - usually a live band, and pool table/table football/cheap drinks means a mad crowd getting even madder (generally a pre club place too).

Club wise - hmmm, Bound is brand new and popular as hell (for now) down on Yanjiang Road next door to 1920 German pub, Cellar used to be the cool cool place, not been in ages, and the other big club is New Era on Zhongshan 5 Road (I think) which is massive.   Not sure which is my favourite, since I generally have few memories of any of them, but I think New Era tips it.

Addresses for all these places are easy to find on the net. 

Enjoy!

I'm new to GZ too and have been looking for places to head out :-) Thanks for the advice - will definitely be checking them out!

Thanks for the advice. I didn't mean to be so specific about age! More like 20/30 ISH

Looks like Rachael and I willbe hitting those bars this weekend... where to start?

uhhh....does almost 19 count?

Lol, course it counts!! Didn't mean to be discriminatory with the age criteria - it was just a rough ball park figure!

How long you been in GZ?

hey guys!!
well i was just wondering how is it going for you in GZ ?? I see you guys have already been there for atleast a month ??
I am considering taking an internship offer in GZ starting January 2010 for 6 month so I would really like to hear your feedback about the city ?? transportation ? nightlife ? shopping ? foreigners ? Gym facilities ?
Thank you

Hey.. I am an old asian lady not too into clubbing but if you are going to chill out. I would really like to make some new friends! Getting very bored in GZ.

heyy,
I just moved to Gz last month from the U.S. I am looking to meet new people and to go out...Oh, I am 22. So yeah, let's go out.

I'm also getting bored here... i paid a visit to some "Clubs", but got annoyed by just another loud place with escort service or even hookers. I'm from Germany, so i'm used just to meet some friends to have a nice talk and some drinks. Disco, oc, is nice from time to time as well, but its more like party than making some friends.
I'll keep an eye on this topic.

GZ is famous for its foods. You can eat various nice foods, e.g. Cantonese, Hunan, Sichan, Northeast China, Japanese, Indian, Vietnam or Agentina. Talking about bars in GZ, I am not familiar with that as I seldom go there. I seldom drink. But I like sing in KTV. Anybody interested please feel free to let me know. I would be happy to sing with. Other entertainments like taking boating in Peal River, and play basketball at Tianhe Sport Center... so many!

Hello everybody i m new to GZ  and have been looking for good restaurants   places to head out ! Thanks for the advice

I have been here in Guangzhou for over one year now, but am still far from being a Guangzhou-hand.  If anyone has any suggestions for cool activities outside of town (paintball, golfing, other sports) let me know.

Ey!!!! I am living in Guanzhou 10 months!!! ... i know some places, but the most important thing is arrange one good dinner in a place and later go all together wherever, starting in PADDIS FEALD!! BACK SIDE OF GARDEN HOTEL, good place to start the 1st drink, and later some places in Tian He and finally who is strong and can wait is good to go Bound, good music...

But there are a lot of places!!!! LetŽs arrange the EXPAT EVENT!!!

I know most people were posting replies to this awhile ago, but I was just wondering who all was still in GZ? I just arrived on Sunday with a friend and we will be here for a year. Would love to meet anyone still in the area...especially if you already know how to get around :-)

Kate

wow.. more and more foreign friends rushing into Guangzhou
I am Simon, a local guy,  27yrs.

I dream, someday, we don't even need to speak english, though I could. Nice to meet you guys...

we can settle a time and place to meet up. Or we can leave our msn in here for instant group discussion. Otherwise, it will be a endless discussion for nothing.
