Originally a guide to great food in France, the Michelin Guide has since expanded to increase restaurants and eateries around the globe, from Singapore street food stalls to the finest fine dining establishments in Paris, London and New York.
The latest city to join the guide is Guangzhou, China’s third biggest city behind only Beijing and Shanghai. Billed as China’s answer to Bangkok, Guangzhou is an up-and-coming city with plenty to offer tourists from China and overseas alike.
