Guangzhou is the capital and a sub-provincial city of Guangdong Province in the southern part of the People's Republic of China. The city is also known by an older English-language name, Canton. It is a port on the Pearl River, navigable to the South China Sea, and is located about 120 km (75 miles) northwest of Hong Kong. The city is famous for foreign trades and businesses. It holds China's largest trade fair, the Canton Fair. While Guangzhou is not usually high on the list of Asian tourist destinations, it is amazing how much the city actually has to offer. The main tourist areas and metropolitan areas are in the northern part of the city, including Liwan, Yuexiu and Tianhe. Must see attractions include the Guangxiao Temple, the Liurong Temple(one of the most popular attractions in Guangzhou) and the buildings and streets of the former British and French concession on Shamian Island. Guangzhou also has many museums, parks and open spaces.
The Baiyun Shan (White Cloud Mountain) is a great place to relax and enjoy a day among lush, rolling hills. It also offers great views over the city. The road to the top is restricted to park trams and pedestrians. Other places to visit include Xiangjiang Wild Animal Safari Park, Guangzhou Martyrs' Memorial Garden and the Grand World Scenic Park. The best time to visit Guangzhou is in October and November. Alternatively, April and May are also good months. Guangzhou has a sub-tropical climate with humidity levels at their highest in the summer. The Canton Trade Fairs take place annually in 3rd and 4th weeks of April and October, so finding accommodation at these times can be difficult.
