🍹Hope And Sesame
nightlife
Hope & Sesame sits behind a modest Cantonese storefront in Dongshankou. Inside, the room turns dark, polished, and close, with low light and a serious bar counter. The mood is intimate early, then sharper as jazz and late conversations fill the room.
It helped define Guangzhou’s modern cocktail culture as the city’s first speakeasy. Drinks use precise techniques, but the service stays warm and relaxed. Visitors come for the secrecy, the sound, and the feeling that the night has found its own rhythm.
🍽️Tao Tao Ju
restaurant
Tao Tao Ju feels like old Guangzhou with polished wood, busy tea tables, and the sound of bamboo steamers opening. The room moves with quiet precision. Tea arrives first, then delicate dim sum shaped by Cantonese restraint.
Founded in 1880, it remains one of the city’s defining teahouses. Visitors come for shrimp dumplings, roast goose, crisp egg tarts, and seasonal greens treated with care. The taste is clean, layered, and deeply tied to Guangzhou’s morning rhythm.
