Guangzhou
Guangzhou is better known as "Canton", the heart of Cantonese culture. It is the third largest city in China and the largest in South China (population ~10 million). Guangzhou is located just over the border from Hong Kong and is a great travel hub for exploring South-East Asia. Guangzhou is a large modern Asian city, with all modern amenities but also with opportunities to explore fascinating backstreets and discover "real Canton". Guangzhou’s Baiyun International Airport has direct flights to Europe as well as to cities throughout Asia. It is two hours by train from Hong Kong.
