No cold weather - no snow, sandals and shorts 10 months a year

I agree about being near enough to HK and Macau...good points.

However, here I don't agree, I've lived in Guangdong and winter there can be more unbearable than the north of china where there is at least central heating. And I would say it lasts longer than 2 months, 3 months, possibly even 4 in guangdong. Generally though the further south in Guangdong, the warmer it is.

Personally, I think guangdong is too much of a GW place now, not worth it anymore!
