Guangdong Province—China's beautiful and dynamic southern province, where the Tropic of Cancer passes through, and the subtropical climate bathes it in lush greenery all year round. It has been a driving force in China's modern and contemporary history and the forefront of China's reform and opening-up. The people of Guangdong have long been renowned for their courage to explore and their pioneering spirit. Some say, "A thousand years of history can be seen in Beijing, and opening-up can be seen in Guangdong," because Guangdong is China's 'window' to the world. Especially in the past two decades, Guangdong has set the trend, achieved significant economic leaps, and has become a melting pot of Chinese and foreign cultures, always leading the new trends of the times, once again becoming a pioneer in China's wave of reform and opening-up. This book will take you into Guangdong, allowing you to witness the charm of China's economic forefront, experience the local customs and culture of Lingnan, appreciate the region's natural beauty, and enjoy its lush mountains and clear waters. You will wander among them, captivated and unwilling to leave.
