It is not only an important port for China's foreign trade but also one of the three financial centers of the country.

Guangzhou has advanced transport facilities. Baiyun Airport is one of the three top international airports in China. Expressways, metros, highways, waterways have combined to make this city one of the easiest accessible cities in China and an ideal place to explore other parts of the vast country.

Guangzhou is also rich in tourist resources with many attractions. Chen Clan Temple, Ancient Beneficence Garden and Banmo Garden are full of local architectural flavor. Taking a boat tour on the Pearl River, which runs through the city, you can enjoy a magnificent view of lights and buildings with unique style.

Though a modern and a vibrant city, many traditions are well preserved in Guangzhou. Old people gather at tea houses in the morning for dim-sum breakfast. People flush onto the street to buy flowers to celebrate the Chinese lunar new year. Dragon boat races are held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar to commemorate Qu Yuan, one of the greatest poets in China .......
