Does anyone know whether the city of Guanzhou in China has a Malaysia Airlines office?

Q. Or can you guide me on how to find out?

A. Yes they have an office in Guangzhou at the following address:

Shop M04-05, Garden Hotel
368 Huanshi Dong Lu, Guangzhou,
Tel:020 833 58828/38/
020 833 38989 EXT 3286
020 833 58868/
020 833 38999 EXT 226
020 836 52699
020 838 48845
020 833 58898

Going to visit Guangzhou in Feb for the first time, need advice?
Q. Where should I stay?
I would prefer a guest house budget accommodation, how much will it cost?
What are some good areas for bargain shopping?
Looking for Indian food or Pizza only, should be available
Looking for clean traditional Chinese Massage, how much would it cost?
How much would oil massage cost?

A. If you are the size that you can buy clothes here then you will be lucky. Just remember the XXL = XL and so on. The clothing is built for Chinese sizes. Clothes can be very cheap. You will see many people on the streets selling hats, shirts, pants, scarfs, purses...etc.

You should tell us how long you are staying!!!

Ok... well.....

As you say GUEST house I will assume you are looking for a Hostel? They can be ¥60 a night. But you will have to live with upwards to 6 people in a room. You can stay at a hotel for ¥120 to ¥200 a night here. But again How long will you be in Guangzhou?

Guangzhou has so many Hotel.

Shopping is all over the place.

As always the price and quality is determined by the location. The Big malls have "name brand" stuff and it will be much more. You may see a ADIDAS shirt (fake) on the street. The vendor may ask ¥35... and you have to bargain. If you are white or resemble a westerner you will get the "SKIN" tax. You can get that ADIDAS street shirt for ¥20. In the big department store you really can't bargain and it will cost maybe ¥50 to ¥100.

This goes for shoes too. You will see tons of Knock-off shoes being sold on the street. The sizes are limited to 11USA. I have a size 13-14 =(51 Euro) and I can't find those. Shoes and sneaks on the street will cost ¥10 to ¥30. A real pair of NIKES can go up t0 ¥300 and to ¥1,500.

A great place to shop is BEIJING LU of Metro line 1. METRO STOP GONG YUAN QIAN.

MASSAGE....

There are many places in GZ.

If you are looking for a great place I would suggest this one. ¥38 for a foot massage and ¥38 for a Body Massage. Fully clothed. This place does a great job. You will love it.

Best way to get to it is....

LINE 3 Metro Exit TIYU XILU Exit A. You will see a 7-11 when you exit. Go Left. Get on the street. Go Left again. Walk to the next street. Turn Right. Keep walking on the right side. Walk almost all the way down the street. On the right it will be. You will past a Dentist and a wine shop on your right.

Like I said, there are hundreds of Massage places. An Oil massage will cost from ¥70 to ¥300. Just depends on the place. It is really hit and miss. Most Oil massage are just ok. Done by not so good masseurs. The above place I mentioned will give you the best massage for sure.

There are also 24 hour SPAS and SAUNAS. These places are great. You can stay for 24 hours and only spend ¥150. But... you can get many services there as add ons. There is an entrance fee. Usually ¥100-¥150. This will be dropped if you choose to get a massage. While in the 24 hour places you can get foot massage, ear cleaning, manicure, head and shoulder massage. Food is free and so are SOFT DRINKS and fruit. You sit in a "La-Z-Boy style chair that will have a TV hooked up to it. Many places have free internet, Pool rooms, Sauna Pools, Showers and body scrubs. The massage can be ¥150 to ¥300 depending on what you choose. The massage will not be "CLEAN". If you go to the 24 hour place I would not get the high priced massage. Get all the other frills and you an walk out feeling great for under ¥250. Then go to that other massage place for ¥38.

Hope this helps

These Hotels are going to Cost you well over ¥1,500 a night. What you have to know is there are so many hotels in GZ that will give you a "discount" when you go in. The Price listed is not usually the price. In an area of Tian He... Called GANG DING Metro EXIT Gang Ding... there are many hotels for ¥450 to ¥750 a night...

President Hotel
No.586 Tianhe Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510630, China
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g298555-d304969-Reviews-President_Hotel-Guangzhou_Guangdong.html

New Tianhe Hotel ¥275
No.178-188 Tianhe Road,Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510600, China Hotel amenities
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g298555-d597081-Reviews-New_Tianhe_Hotel-Guangzhou_Guangdong.html

Do a Google search in The Tian He Area and you can see all the hotels. Then as I did I found the name and look for it on Trip adviser.

I would not pay over ¥450 for a 4 STAR Hotel in GZ
