In fact, Guangzhou people don&;t like it the most, that is, &”;the most&”;.
The culture of &”;eating in Guangzhou&”; is not the result of competing for the first place, but of letting a hundred flowers blossom.
Especially the delicious food, the so-called &”;everyone can&;t adjust&”;, there is no best food, only better food.
Therefore, morning tea is no exception.
But Guangzhou people drink morning tea, not only for taste, but also for atmosphere. If you don&;t have the atmosphere of morning tea, it will be boring if you just have a little heart. In the past, the atmosphere of morning tea was that the partners who could get along with each other came to the teahouse early in the morning to talk about their feelings, not only for breakfast, but also for business appointments. At that time, the teahouse still had Cantonese songs to listen to, and the story of Guangzhou became vivid in the life of Cantonese songs. Unfortunately, these things are slowly disappearing now.
Only the old-fashioned gourmet snacks are left, still supporting the banner of Cantonese teahouse. Fortunately, there are also time-honored brands and snacks made with heart, so that the morning tea culture has not disappeared.
So, I can&;t say which morning tea is the best. I can only guarantee the ones I recommend. At least you can experience a little charm of Guangzhou morning tea, and you won&;t have a &”;fake morning tea&”;.
1. White Swan Hotel-Yutang Spring Warm (Metro: Huangsha Station)
Address: Floor 3, White Swan Hotel, No.1 Shamian Street, Liwan District
As the first five-star hotel in China that is open to the public, White Swan Hotel witnessed how Guangzhou people in reform and opening-up live a good life. Therefore, this place has become the eternal feeling of Guangzhou people. Many old Guangzhou people want to have morning tea at White Swan with their friends and relatives at least once a year, which is the fulfillment of their wish. Although these things are more expensive. But I still think it&;s worth it.
Yu Chunnuan usually has no seats if you don&;t make a reservation. Many friends who come here are willing to wait, and most of them are repeat customers from locals who are used to delicious food and have picky tastes.
Recommended snacks: Shaqima, signature shrimp dumplings, crispy barbecued pork buns, steamed chicken feet with honey sauce, chestnut swan cake, phoenix tail taro horn, glutinous rice chicken, dry steaming, etc.
2. Liwan Pavilion of Garden Hotel (Metro: Taojin Station)
Address: Floor 2, Garden Hotel, No.368 Huanshi East Road, Yuexiu District
The Liwan Pavilion in the five-star garden hotel has been in operation for 30 years, and it bears many bitter and happy memories of the post-70s and post-80s in Guangzhou. At that time, when good friends made money, they were proud to take turns to invite guests to Liwan Pavilion for morning tea.
The decoration of Liwan Pavilion is inspired by the scene of the famous night market in Lizhi Bay, Guangzhou. The litchi trees are sparse, the vines are twisted, and the banyan canopy is built indoors. Ten well-made named flower boats show the past elegance of Lizhi Bay in another way. So, over the years, not only people like to drink morning tea here, but foreigners who live here especially like it.
Recommended snacks: egg tarts, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, radish cakes, soup packets, boat porridge, and porridge, dry steamed, fresh shrimp sausage.
3. Guangzhou Hotel-Yindeng Restaurant (Metro: Haizhu Square Station)

Guangzhou Hotel, which Guangzhou people like to be the &”;27th floor&”;, was the tallest landmark in Guangzhou in 1950s and 1960s, next to Haizhu Bridge and Hero Square. Drinking morning tea on the 27th floor has been the pride of Guangzhou people for many years.
The teahouse here is contracted by people. The so-called soldiers who beat the camp with iron are now called &”;Silver Lantern Restaurant&”;. However, the quality and style of Cantonese dim sum in Guangzhou Hotel Tea House are still well passed down today.
