Features: This bilingual (Chinese-English) picture book, edited by the Guangzhou Tourism Bureau and China Travel Press, uses over 200 rare photographs and concise Chinese and English text to narrate the journey of Guangzhou, a historic civilized city with over 2,200 years of history, comparable to Rome, the world-famous cultural ancient city, as it has grown into a modern international metropolis. This picture book offers a perspective of visiting Guangzhou from the point of view of overseas tourists, divided into six sections: "A Visit to Guangzhou," "Glory of the Ancient City," "Tourism in the City of Flowers," "New Urban Rhythms," "Capital of Cuisine," and "Poetic Guangzhou," to comprehensively reflect the history and reality of Guangzhou. Many precious shots of natural landscapes and historical relics such as the North Return Line Memorial Tower, the King Nanyue Tomb, and Chen Clan Ancestral Hall allow readers to feel as if they are there. The tropical scenery and plants inspire endless imagination, while Cantonese breakfast tea and night snacks leave foodies with unforgettable memories. The famous actors of Cantonese opera add to the rich cultural heritage of the southern land, making the City of Flowers even more vibrant.
