As the capital of Guangdong Province, Guangzhou is a major national central city, international business hub and transportation pivot, located at the northern Pearl River Delta, facing the South China Sea and adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao. It has a marine subtropical monsoon climate with warm, humid weather year-round (avg. 22°C annually), suitable for travel anytime. A core engine of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it boasts strong economic vitality, profound commercial culture and a 2,200-year history as a renowned historical and cultural city.
Blending tradition with modernity: Xiguan Arcaded Streets and Guangzhou Cantonese Opera Art Museum represent its Lingnan cultural heritage. The iconic Canton Tower ("Slender Waist") and the new Guangzhou Museum of Art (designed as "Kapok in Water") showcase contemporary charm. Must-visit spots include Baiyun Mountain, Shamian Island, Yuexiu Park (home to the Five-Goat Sculpture) and Chimelong Resort. Cantonese cuisine is a highlight – try morning tea treats like char siu buns and pineapple buns, street snacks such as radish & beef offal or wonton noodles, and classic pork belly & chicken hot pot for authentic Lingnan flavors.
