Features: This book is one of the series "China Travel Hotline" and is a travel guide to Guangdong. The entire book is divided into six parts: "Colorful Guangdong Tour," "Historical and Cultural City - Guangzhou Tour," "Charming Golden Triangle - Pearl River Delta Tour," "Favorable Sounds of the East - Eastern Guangdong Tour," "Leisurely Star Lake and Ocean Waves - Western Guangdong Tour," and "Dazzling Mountains and Clear Waters, Appreciating Yao Culture - Northern Guangdong Tour." It introduces the tourist attractions, maps, nearby attractions, travel routes, and folk customs of various regions in Guangdong. As the saying goes: "A thousand years of history can be seen in Beijing, a hundred years of vicissitudes in Shanghai, and twenty years of reform and opening-up in Guangdong." When people mention Guangdong, they naturally think of the popular saying that once spread widely: "East, West, North, South, and Center, get rich in Guangdong." In fact, it's not just about getting rich. If you want to broaden your horizons, see something new, keep up with the trends, experience fashion, and feel the majestic style of a modern metropolis that has risen like a fairy tale, then please pack your bags and set off for the southern frontier of our motherland - the hot land of Guangdong.
Guangdong, which was among the first to embrace the winds of reform and opening-up, has leveraged its geographical advantages to become like a kaleidoscope in the tides of modern economy and lifestyle, reflecting the dazzling changes in Chinese society. Guangdong Province is located in the southern part of mainland China, adjacent to Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Fujian in the land area, borders the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, overlooks Hainan Province across the Qiongzhou Strait, and is close to the countries of Southeast Asia, serving as the southern gateway of China.
