Guangzhou, historically known as Canton, the capital of Guangdong Province, is southern China's economic, cultural and transportation hub as well as a vital center for international trade and manufacturing. In 2025, Guangzhou was ranked among Asia's Top 5 most competitive cities and recognized as a leading global business destination.
However, the rapid advancement of modernization has never overshadowed the city's profound historical legacy and Lingnan cultural heritage. The rich mercantile history and vibrant traditional life, as you can imagine, will captivate you while you are exploring the architectural marvel of the Canton Tower, wandering through the historic Shamian Island, discovering the cultural treasures of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, and admiring the ancient charm of the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees.
Of course, Guangzhou has much more to offer than just historical sites: world-renowned Cantonese cuisine, exciting Pearl River night cruises, innovative architectural tours, and immersive local cultural experiences.
