Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong, a Chinese province in the south of the country, is first and foremost known as a gourmet's paradise. The best traditional and international restaurants have chosen their home in this city, more often called the Canton, which occupies the fourth place for its number of inhabitants. It is here that you will taste the best local specialties: dim sum and chang fens. Visit the picturesque markets which will give you pleasant surprises. Quinping is a must on this culinary discovery. The city center is composed of four urban districts. The soul of Guangzhou would be hidden in the west in Liwan, in the east lies the Haizhu, and still Yunexiu and Tianhe more to the north and northeast. The Pearl River creates here in its meander a beautiful island called Shamian. The green park of Yunexiu is suitable for meditation and long walks. Passing through this district, you can admire the beautiful traditional temples along the road. Tianhe and Haizhu are rather modern and trendy. A business center, bars, restaurants, hotels... and the famous Canton Tower, the highest television tower in the world. A breathtaking view on the city is offered to you from its point, transparent under your feet. Sportsmen will love the Guangdong Olympic Complex, a magnificent modern stadium, but keeping the spirit of Chinese traditions. The city is irrigated by the Pearl River which earned it the glorious title of China's first port. The area is world famous for its gigantic international fair. If you want to experience this colorful hubbub, go to Guangzhou in April or October. Otherwise, winters are mild, summers are hot, but autumn seems to be the best time for a trip to Guangzhou.
