  • Guangzhou Walking Tour (Tianhe District to Canton Tower) is a video recording of my walk in Guangzhou, China. I highly recommend using headphones to experience 3D environment sounds as I recorded with binaural microphones. Recording in June 2019.
    Filmed using:
    Camera: Osmo Pocket - amzn.to/309uju3
    Extension Rod: Osmo Pocket Extension Rod - amzn.to/306xnqK
    Audio Recorder: Zoom H1N - amzn.to/33TU7LO

    Canton Tower Info:
    The Canton Tower (Chinese: 广州塔), formally Guangzhou TV Astronomical and Sightseeing Tower (Chinese: 广州电视台天文及观光塔), is a 604 metres (1,982 ft) tall multi-purpose observation tower in the Haizhu District of the city of Guangzhou (historically known as Canton). The tower was topped out in 2009 and it became operational on 29 September 2010 for the 2010 Asian Games. The tower briefly held the title of the tallest tower in the world, replacing the CN Tower, before being surpassed by the Tokyo Skytree. It was the tallest structure in China prior to the topping out of Shanghai Tower on 3 August 2013. It is now the second tallest tower and the fourth-tallest freestanding structure in the world.

    I enjoyed this tour. My wife and I lived in Guangzhou for two years, until we had to return to the USA in 2018 to care for my aging mother. I spent many hours exploring this area. I immediately recognized the Aeon Supermarket follows by the Pizza Hut and McDonalds. We miss Guangzhou and all the friendships that we developed there. I kept expecting to see myself in the background - a white haired American with a cane, a Panama hat, and a colorful shirt, but alas, we had left by the time this video was filmed.

    Hi friends. This is Alan from Discovery Walking Tours TV. I recently visited the megacity of Guangzhou and I had a real blast recording the sights and sounds. I traveled to many parts of China during the last 2 years and have personally seen the huge changes. I think there is a lot of "misinformation" about how the country is like, and I hope with these videos, people will be more well informed and will be able to see the country for what is it.
    I used binaural microphones to record the environmental sounds. So if you have a pair of headphones, do use them, it will be quite an immersive experience 😀
    If you notice any interesting points in the video or want to ask about something that was caught on camera, comment with a time stamp (eg 00:01) and I will be sure to check it out. I am also interested to know where you are from 😄 so drop a comment below and say hi!

      Thanks Bill 😄 Happy to hear this comment from you. I been visiting many parts of China (especially the major cities) for the past 5 years. I only wished I starting filming from way back. Quite a number of people do not know how day to day life is like in China. Hopefully my videos will allow everyone to see how China is like.

      Yeah the Canton Tower (24:30) is pretty massive. I can only imagine how the view is like at the top. Should be spectacular. Yup its likely a dragon boat racing competition or a practice session (30:50)

      Have always been loving China. Awesome place with lots of vibrancy. I am done with Guangzhou and will probably visit Wuhan or Kunming in the future. I am undecided as yet. I visited Kunming before and I have friends there so it would be fun to visit. But I am also keen on exploring more of inner China. We shall see what my journey takes me 🤣

      I once tried using the Osmo Pocket as an action camera. I rigged the camera to the bicycle and cycled. The footage was terribly bad 😂 if you want to film on an escooter, you may want to consider getting the Osmo Action and a rig to mount on your helmet. ⛑️😉
