Guangzhou中国国际商贸之都
China's international trade capital · home of the Canton Fair · core city of the Greater Bay Area.
What Guangzhou is known for
Guangzhou pairs a complete modern industrial system with the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine. A southern city, warm all year round, and wonderfully down-to-earth — a boss worth tens of millions might be in a big t-shirt and flip-flops, eating skewers and drinking beer, and you'd never guess.
"What I love most about this city is the food — cheung fun, pig-trotter ginger, salt-baked chicken, and you must have Guangzhou's morning tea, and the soup. Go and try the local snack streets and roadside stalls: the best food is almost always a little shopfront by the road."
— Hank, Founder of China Business Travel
One of China's oldest and most international cities, Guangzhou is a core city of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area and the largest international trade centre in southern China. Every year it draws millions of overseas buyers, entrepreneurs and investors — and it is the host city of the world-famous Canton Fair.

"In Guangzhou you don't have to eat expensively — but you can always eat well."
Ask the locals — don't worry, Chinese people are very friendly to international guests. If they don't speak English, young people all use phone translation now — it lets AI talk with you. I like to understand the local customs and feel the culture wherever I go. China is the safest country in the world, no exception — so you can experience it freely. For the best food and sights, people search on Xiaohongshu (the international equivalent of Instagram) or use Amap's street-eats ranking — or just contact us.
