Discover Guangzhou
like a local

Guangzhou is where the world comes to do business with China. Twice a year the Canton Fair fills the Pazhou exhibition complex with buyers from every continent, and between sessions the city's wholesale market districts trade everything from electronics and leather to textiles and toys, every single day.

It is also one of China's great food cities. Cantonese cuisine was born here, and our food guide covers everything from morning dim sum to late-night dai pai dong. When the work is done, the bars and nightlife around Zhujiang New Town and Party Pier keep going well past midnight.

Getting around is easy once you know how. Our metro route planner takes the guesswork out of one of the world's busiest metro systems, our hotel guide matches you to the right district, and the news desk keeps you current on visas, transport and city changes.
