Guangdong Province

Guangdong Province in south China sprawls on the shore of the South China Sea and is in close proximity to the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions. With an ideal location, Guangdong was one of the earliest regions to benefit from the policy of reform and opening up to the outside world. Situated in the subtropical zone with a mild climate characterized by bright sunshine and a soothing average annual temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, Guangdong is a tourist attraction all year round. The horizon of the province is teeming with tourist attractions, including so many places of historical association, and the skyline of an idyllic landscape is graced with modern buildings. Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Zhaoqing, Foshan, Meizhou and Leizhou are famous historical and cultural cities of national caliber. The Guangdong schools of embroidery, opera and culinary art never fail to hold the visitor enthralled. A new 'triangular' tour program has been introduced recently to bring visitors to Guangdong and Hong Kong and Macao. Major cities include Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou, Zhanjiang, Foshan and Zhaoqing.
