Guangzhou

As the capital of Guangdong province, Guangzhou is located in the south-central region of the province at the lower reaches of the Pearl River; lying in the Pearl River Delta to the north of the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, it is the leading entry and exit shipping port of the Chinese mainland and is known as China's "Southern Gateway". Originally named "Chu Ting" and once called Panyu, Guangzhou got its current name in 226 AD when Sun Quan divided Jiaozhou into Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, taking the character "Guang" from Guangxin, and "Guangzhou" was officially fixed as the city's name in 1921.

Canton Tower

Standing at 600 meters tall, the Canton Tower, also known as Guangzhou New Television Tower, is a defining feature of the Guangzhou skyline. Currently ranking as the tallest TV tower in China and the third tallest in the world, it is primarily dedicated to tourism and entertainment. Its distinctive curved design, which has earned it the nickname “Xiaoman Yao” or “Slim Waist,” has made it an iconic symbol of the city. The tower offers unique experiences, including the world's highest horizontal Ferris wheel and one of the highest thrill rides. For these reasons, it has become a must-visit destination for photos and sightseeing in Guangzhou.

Yuexiu Park

Nestled on Yuexiu Hill in the heart of Guangzhou, Yuexiu Park is the city's oldest and largest comprehensive urban park. This expansive green space features seven tree-covered hills and three peaceful artificial lakes. With a history dating back to 1927, the park has been a beloved natural retreat for generations and is recognized as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. It is home to Guangzhou's most important cultural symbols, including the iconic Five Rams Sculpture and the ancient Zhenhai Tower, making it an essential introduction to the city's history and natural beauty.
