Market
Cantons market is an experience in itself. There is a saying about the Cantonese that they eat everything that flies, except a plane, everything that swims, except a ship and everything with four legs, except a car. So you'll be likely to find every imaginable kind of food somewhere around.
If you consider buying a pet, the market is the place to get it. But do make sure you get it alive. There is a story (nobody knows if it is really true, but it's a nice story anyway.) of a British student who was thinking of buying a puppy to keep her company. After finally agreeing on a price, the Chinese selling it wanted to be nice and helpful and, to the horror of the student, started to prepare it!

Liurong Temple
