Guangzhou is the fifth biggest city in China with 11.5 million people
China has many modern department stores.
It is pretty impressive aside from being 9 stories!
And the prices are a small fraction of what they would be in the USA.
There is no shortage of modern high rise buildings there.
I would have to post a few dozen of them to give you an idea of how modern and unique many of them are!
Don't like big shopping centers? Here's a place where you can do a little outdoor shopping.
This is Beijing Road in Guangzhou and yes, there are always this many people!!
Guangzhou also has a modern Metro to get around.

Shamian Island in Guangzhou was once reserved for foreigners.
There are many European style buildings there.
There are several statues made of iron like this one on Shamian Island.
