The Guangdong province is adjacent to Hong Kong and Macau. Its capital, Guangzhou, is located at the “head of the Pearl River Delta”. One of the earliest trading ports in Chinese history, Guangdong is the starting point of the “Maritime Silk Road”. The province has a long history of commerce. Guangdong is known as China’s economic powerhouse. It has the largest and fastest-growing economy in the Chinese mainland.
Guangdong has received over 500 million domestic tourists and more than 50 million overseas tourists. With its sub-tropical climate, long summers and warm winters, Guangdong is suitable for tourism all year round. It has rivers and lakes that crisscross the Pearl River Delta, a long coast line and wide areas of hills and mountains. Guangdong’s four famous mountains are Danxia Mountains in Renhua County, Xiqiao Mountains in Nanhai County, Luofu Mountains in Boluo County and Dinghu Mountains in Zhaoqing City. Other famous scenic spots include the Lingyang Gorge on the Xijiang River, the Feilai Gorge on the Beijiang River, the Zhaoqing Seven Star Crags and Dinghu Mountains Scenic Spot.
