Thinking of making a trip to Shawan town in Panyu area next year to go some genealogical research. Can anyone recommend a travel agent, or where to stay for that area? Should I just stay in Guangzhou area? I'm in Los Angeles, if anyone knows a travel agent in the area.
Many thanks.

I just visited Panyu last week...home village of my spouse. Most of the Panyu villages located on the island has been leveled to make way for "Guangzhou's University district". However, most villages outside Panyu Island has been kept intact.
Panyu is very close to Guangzhou city proper, and you can easily hire a taxi for a round trip ...it will cost you less than RMB300 (which is about $45 CDN) for a round trip. It'll take you about an hour each way (lots of traffic congestion, else it would be about 20 minutes). I took a lot of pix and really enjoyed the warmth of the people there.
good luck.
