Guangdong
The core of Lingnan culture, where the urban appeal of Guangzhou and Shenzhen sits alongside Cantonese cuisine, islands and Hakka mountain villages.
Guangdong lies on the coast of South China. The Pearl River Delta is one of the country's most economically dynamic regions, the north is the Nanling mountain area, and long coastlines stretch along the eastern and western flanks. Guangzhou, a thousand-year-old trading city, is known for Cantonese dim sum, arcaded qilou buildings and Lingnan architecture; Shenzhen represents the modern metropolis; Chaoshan food and houses, the Kaiping watchtowers and the Hakka roundhouses of Meizhou each have their own character. Hailing Island in Yangjiang and the seaside of Maoming suit beach holidays, while the Conghua hot springs, the Yangchun karst caves and the mountain villages of Pingyuan and Jiaoling are good for relaxing. Autumn and winter are the most comfortable seasons. Guangzhou Baiyun and Shenzhen Bao'an are the main international air gateways, and the high-speed rail network is well developed.
