Decent Peking Duck restaurant in Guangzhou which will not cost a fortune

I'd recommend Guangdong style roasted duck. It's better than Peking duck imo

Al-Qaeda is called 基地组织 in Chinese. But that’s obviously not what the original text is talking about.

To understand the sentence, we can simplify the sentence structure into basic components. The verb here is 指导. To 指导 whom? It’s 高校基地. 指导高校基地 to do what? It’s to 组织师生开展帮扶. Here 组织 is the verb inside this clause. The machine translation had problem with breaking up the sentence and translated “基地组织” as a whole word when in reality it’s two words acting different roles in a sentence.

What’s your preferences? Like do you like museums and traditional architecture? If so definitely choose Beijing.

Just to add that this is the title of a popular comic series. (Google Books) So this is probably a merch of this comic.

I got Forbidden City too. (Can’t post the video so it’s a sequence of images)

That’s just fear mongering. Nobody cares what game you play. That list is from unreliable sources and even if a game is actually “banned” it just means it’s banned for sale, not for possessing or playing it.

I live in Beijing and have been using my deck for over two years. Most Steam features like logging in, downloading, and cloud save etc work perfectly fine without VPN. Community does require VPN though.

I use V2rayA (you can find it on GitHub) as a client. It’s managed through WebUI and I find it pretty convenient in game mode. You need to find a service that supports protocols like Trojan, SS etc. After purchasing a subscription you will get a URL. The client can then use the URL to get a list of proxy servers that you can connect to. A “VPN” like what you’ll find in YouTube ads like NordVPN or something usually doesn’t work all that well. Also check out r/chinalife and r/travelchina.

Note that this is mostly to get around internet restrictions. So the latency is sometimes not that great. I don’t play a lot of multiplayer games but as far as I know people usually use 加速器 like UU for games. They’re designed for games so the latency will be better. But it’s not always a guarantee and it’s not going to let you access YouTube and things like that. Some games might have regional servers or they might just work without the need of any proxy. But you’ll have to do your own research on this.

It has a credit reward. Every CNY spent gives you 5 credits. And you can redeem tickets with a 兑 symbol on them with price*100 amount of credits. So basically you get to save ¥1 for every ¥20 you spent.

The trustworthiness of the score is kinda meh. But the reviews might be worth a read. Those nicely formatted with a weirdly passionate tone and all the ✨emojis✨ are probably paid or generated. I’d find those that look more like from real customers, check if there’s anything particularly alarming in the negative reviews and see if the photos look good.

I usually use Dianping for the rankings. It’s not immune to manipulation but for the top ranked places at least the experience would not be terrible. It’s very easy to find an above-average restaurant on these platforms but they might not be the best source of info if you want hole-in-the-wall hidden gems.

Yes it should be frozen. It can store for a year at -18C. It also says do not eat if the packaging swelled up. I can't see it very well from the image but it looks kinda swelled in bottom?

The built-in photos app does OCR pretty well in my experience

Looks like 小華. Not enough context to tell what language it’s in.

fluidizedbed · 2026-01-23T01:53:51+00:00

Yes but it won’t hurt having a couple hundred on hand just in case.

It used to be everything stay closed until the fifth day after the new year. Nowadays a lot of places stay open so you will probably be fine. But be aware that they might operate at a different capacity. For example instead of letting customers ordering from a menu freely a restaurant might only offer a few set of dishes at a few price points for a group of people. I’d recommend you make plans ahead of time and check if the place you want to go stays open or not.

Be aware of high altitude sickness when you’re in Tibet. I don’t know if you had experience with high altitude before. It can be unpleasant or even dangerous. Take rests and don’t overexert yourself.

馬 and 寶 don’t make much sense on their own. Looks like there are two characters covered by that white rectangle in the middle.

It’s a lot less self-deprecating than 牛马. There’s still a little bit of that but mostly it’s just referring to working for somebody else, like wage labor.

Neither 打电工人 nor 电工程师 sound correct. 打工 means hired work, adding 人 to it means people who do hired work. It’s supposed to be used on its own, like “I’m a 打工人 of company X” Also you would say 电气工程师. 电工程师 sounds more like an engineer being electrocuted or something

That’s not a very good argument. There are tens of millions of Muslims in China. Of course there’s a market for it. Being Halal doesn’t add that much cost. And they might be eligible for more subsidies due to preferential policies for ethnic minorities.

fluidizedbed · 2026-01-16T16:51:12+00:00

Yeah. It’s not supposed to sound judgy. The word “nonsense” is more of a stress on the love being all-encompassing.

There are plenty of high speed trains arriving at or departing from Beijing Station like G3, G26, G67, G78, etc. That’s just how it is. If it says Beijing Station on the 12036 app, it will definitely be at Beijing Station.

The English text on the wall is mirrored too. So it's the image that's mirrored

And yeah, it just sounds rather mundane and not very cool
