Guangzhou: Dried Seafood Market & Yum Cha Experience

Discover the bustling Yide Road Dried Seafood Market in Guangzhou on a guided tour. Learn about Yum Cha culture, enjoy a selection of dim sum, and sip on a pot of tea at a local tea house.
Begin your tour by meeting your guide at the Yide Road Metro Station. Explore the heart of Guangzhou's dried seafood wholesale district, the largest in Southeast Asia. Discover high-end seafood like abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, and shark fin, as well as everyday staples like dried scallops, shrimp, and oysters.

Learn about mushrooms and spices, including shiitake mushrooms, cordyceps flowers, and dried chilies, and see traditional products like Chinese sausages and preserved meats. Your guide will explain how to judge quality, how to haggle, and how to use these ingredients in Cantonese home cooking.

Next, walk to a local tea house for your Yum Cha meal. Enjoy a pot of tea (oolong, Pu'er, or chrysanthemum) and a selection of classic dim sum. Choose up to two dim sum items, and let your guide supplement the order with additional recommendations based on experience.

Learn about the ritual of "叩指礼" (knuckle-tapping to thank the tea pourer) and the meaning of "一盅两件" (one cup of tea, two dim sum dishes). Finish your tour with a final Q&A and guidance on nearby attractions like St. Paul's Cathedral, just a short walk away.
