It’s not that Zhangjiajie is out of reach, but Xia‑Tian‑Xia Gorge in Guangdong offers better value‑for‑money. Only a 2‑hour‑drive from Guangzhou, you get to witness nature’s magnificent craftsmanship.

It’s hard to describe just how far out in front of us is China 2026. Luckily record numbers are checking out for themselves. Increasingly visa-free travel makes it easier than it’s ever been.
I’ve just been on a “High-speed train” which description fails to do justice. It travels like the wind. If you closed your eyes you wouldn’t know you were moving. China has 50,000 miles of it. It links cities so far better than ours it brings me to tears. Clean. Crime free.
The cops don’t carry guns and their cars don’t have sirens, only flashing lights.
Prices are so cheap I’m scared to tell you. A slap up lunch £2.50. Shirts £12. Deluxe taxis (BMW electric) £4. And this in a Tier 1 City (Beijing Shanghai Guangzhou Shenzen). It’s cheaper elsewhere! The shops are tumbling with goods from the west (at Chinese prices - western goods are of course mainly made in China) from the east often Russia and from a home manufacturing base easily the biggest in the whole world.
Nobody litters or jaywalks, nobody lays in shop doorways, nobody begs. Vertiginous towers of bewildering variety arise everywhere. At night these cities don’t even look real. I have a young wife. When she was born Shenzen was a one-horse town nobody outside had ever heard of. Today it is a Wonder of the World. One of dozens. If you deny it, you’re a fool.

A journey to discover culture, friendship, and heritage begins in Guangzhou. Fifty young overseas Chinese from across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East have gathered in Guangzhou for ten days of language learning, cultural experiences, and meaningful connections.
If you could spend ten days exploring one culture, where would you choose?

Good morning! Guangzhou is such a beautiful city! Everyone is welcome to visit Guangzhou.
Super excited to be the very first rider in our Robotaxi internal trial.
Ordered it right outside our office building — hailed, got in, sat down, and off we went. This marks the first time we've fully connected the online booking and offline riding experience. Sitting in that car, I couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
We announced the Robotaxi plan last November, kicked off public-road testing this January, rolled out production vehicles in May, and now, just eight months later, we've run the whole loop and started internal trials. That's faster than we ever expected. Huge thanks to everyone on the Robotaxi team who made this happen.
True large-scale deployment of Robotaxis is a long journey. Next, we'll keep doubling down on safety, fine-tune the experience, and improve generalization, steady steps all the way. I'm really looking forward to the day when our internal users, locals in Guangzhou, and travelers visiting the city can all pull out their phones, hail a XPENG Robotaxi, and hop in for a ride.
And for this first taste of Robotaxi? I give it a solid 10/10!
