While planning our family trip to Tokyo, Japan I noticed that our flight would have a layover in Guangzhou, China. I suggested to my husband that we should extend our holiday and visit the place before returning home, and he agreed.

As we flew into Guangzhou, I eagerly looked out my window to see what was in store for us, but to my dismay, the place seemed dilapidated and run down compared to Japan. With my young son and daughter, as well as my 72-year-old father accompanying us on the holiday, I began to wonder if it was the right place to take them.
