Last week, our friends at China Southern Airlines invited me to the opening ceremony for the first U.S. office for the Guangzhou Los Angeles Tourism Promotion Center. This center will help facilitate education about and promotion of Guangzhou when U.S. travelers go to China.
Guangzhou, known as the Flower City, is a short plane or train trip right from Hong Kong and was the start of the Silk Road — making its a central location for business and culture. Like most Asian cities, it straddles a unique balance of modern architecture, like the Canton Tower, and history spread across the city’s museums and temples. I personally plan on seeing a Cantonese opera on my next trip using the 72-hour Visa Free program.
As the political climate continues to change between China and the United States, it’s more important than ever for tourism to bridge the gap. Tourism can help educate travelers for generations as they learn about the culture, cuisine, history and the unexpected when exploring a city.

Nov 9, 2026Versatile and Vibrant, Modern Asti Spumante Is Not the Simple Party Fizz of the Past
I recall attending a New Year’s Eve party in my early 20s during which our host walked around at midnight filling guests’ flutes with celebratory toasts of “Champagne” or Asti Spumante. Now, the former wasn’t actually Champagne, just a cheaply made domestic Brut more suited to the budgets of people just entering the workforce. But those of us who liked our bubbly on the drier side preferred it to what we viewed as a sweet, simple Italian quaffer.

Nov 5, 2026Review: Casa Gangotena
ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Facing one side of San Francisco Plaza in Quito’s Old Town, you’d be forgiven if you, at first, mistook the hotel for a palatial residence or estate, where the fourth or perhaps fifth generation of a family resides. Casa Gangotena, a Relais & Châteaux property, was, in fact, a home for many, built in the 17th century and later home to several presidents. The entrance reminds you you’re on very special grounds, from crown molding ceilings to opulent chandeliers to velvet couches, and staff guided me to check-in, beginning my very own regal stay.
