We are nicely settled into the Conrad Ghanzhou. Our room is quite lovely and thanks to Brad (and the rate he got that is only available through travel agents, which he now is) we got upgraded and free breakfast everyday. I’m excited about that!
We also learned that water in China isn’t potable in most locations due to underlying old pipes, even in the newer buildings. We would probably be fine since the hotel does filter, but we aren’t going to risk a Charlotte in the shower situation and will use bottled water to brush our teeth.

Tap water across mainland China is not considered safe to drink straight from the tap due to secondary contamination and aging distribution infrastructure. Travelers should rely strictly on factory-sealed bottled water, properly boiled water, or certified filtration systems.
What To Know: Do not drink unboiled tap water or use it for brushing teeth; luxury hotels in Guangzhou provide complimentary bottled water and in-room kettles for boiling.
