Beijing China Travel Guide - Magical Mix of History and Future
Guangzhou or Canton (广州) , the capital of Guangdong Province, is the third largest city in China after Beijing and Shanghai with a population of more than 12 million. Founded in 214 BC, the city has been a springboard for trading, cultural exchanges, many revolutions and reforms, making it an unavoidable stopover to understand what shapes the modern China.
Guangzhou's isolation from the rest of 'typical China' by mountainous topography and early exposure to the outside world has resulted in its unique way of lifestyle, liberal ideas, distinctive cuisine and tremendous wealth. It is no surprise that Guangzhou is a cradle of many reforms and revolutions that changed the fate of China forever. Today Guangzhou still unveils many republic-era sights that help travelers understand modern Chinese history.
Founded in 214 BC, this capital of the richest province is always a mix of new and old. It not only boasts some of the oldest temples in China, a millenarian-old park, an imperial tomb of a southern kingdom and complete preservation of colonial villas and church on Shamian, but it also serves as a showcase of futuristic architectures and autopilot metro on Zhujiang New Town.
Despite its vibrant sight-seeing resources, travelers usually come to Guangzhou to shop and eat. Guangzhou accommodates countless huge markets specializing in almost any made-in-china products, including Chinese tea, herbs, garments, watches, electronics and toys. You will be appalled to see the real prices of those China-made products and the profit your local shops earn by selling them.
Guangzhou is divided into ten districts. Among them, Yuexiu and Liwan, the cradle for the Cantonese culture, has been the city center since the imperial era. Tianhe, which was a farming village decades ago, has been constructed into a new business center with some biggest shopping malls and highest skyscrapers in the city.
For travelers, the most useful road is Zhongshan Road, a 9 KM long highway horizontally cutting through the downtown of Guangzhou. The highway is divided into 8 sections. From Zhongshan 6 Road (中山六路）to Zhongshan 8 Road (中山八路) it covers around 80% tourist attractions and all famous restaurants. This area is well connected by Metro Line 1 from Changshou Lu (長壽路), Chen Clan Academy (陈家祠), Ximenkou(西门口） to Gongyuanqian (公园前)
Yuexiu (越秀 Yuèxiù) — The Zhongshan 6 Road area, which covers the original area of Yuexiu before its expansion in the 2005, has been the very core since 214 AD. Highlights include Yuexiu Park, Guangzhou Museum located at Zhanhai Tower, Orchid Garden, Mausoleum of Nanyue King, Guangxiao Temple, Temple of Six Banyan Trees, Huangsheng Mosque, Beijing Lu Shopping District, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, Temple of Five Rams, Shishi Cathedral.
Liwan (荔湾 Lìwān) — On the north of the pearl river makes up the old Guangzhou area and home to the standard Cantonese accent (Xiguan Accent, literally West Gate Accent). Tourist highlights include the colonial Shamian Island, Xiguan Old Houses, Xiangxiajiu shopping Street, Liziwan Lake Park and Chen's Clan Academy.
Tianhe (天河 Tiānhé) is the business district, thriving with many skyscrapers and shopping malls. The newly developed Zhujiang New Town (珠江新城) is a showcase of futuristic urban planning and avant-garde architecture.
Haizhu (海珠'Hǎizhū') — At the south of the Pearl River, the former industrial district has transformed into more residential and business today. It is home to the city's latest landmark Canton Tower and the South Campus of Sun Yat-Sen University

Guangzhou
Guangzhou (Chinese: 广州, literally wide state) (former common romanisation: Canton; less-commonly known as Kwangchow) is the capital and largest city of Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Located on the Pearl River, about 120 km (75 mi) north-northwest of Hong Kong and north-northeast of Macau, Guangzhou is a key national transportation hub and trading port. One of the five National Central Cities, it holds sub-provincial administrative status.
Guangzhou is the third largest Chinese city and southern China's largest city. As of the 2010 census, the city's administrative area had a population of 12.78 million, making itself the most populous city in South China. Some estimates place the population of the entire Pearl River Delta Mega City built up area as high as 40 million including Shenzhen (10.36 million), Dongguan (8.22 million) and most parts of Foshan (7.19 million), Jiangmen (4.45 million), Zhongshan (3.12 million) and a small part of Huizhou adjoining Dongguan and Shenzhen, with an area of about 20,000 square kilometres (7,700 sq mi). In 2008 Guangzhou was identified as a Beta World City by the global city index produced by the GaWC, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network.

廣東南海九江僑鄉博物館之吳家大院-粵語解述2018 Ng clan's fortified mansions in Jiujiang
九江吳家大院內，現存的“鑊耳”大屋、高層洋樓及廣東特色的木“趟櫳”、西方元素的義大利瓷磚展示著建築的中西合璧，各具風格，讓到訪者記憶猶新。然而鮮為人知的是，這裡由華僑興建、一度成為地方政府駐地。這座具有一百多年歷史的老宅，在近年來吳家後人委託九江鎮政府管理後，修繕一新，成為當地展示僑鄉文化、聯動文旅產業的橋頭堡。在《佛山市歷史文化街區和歷史建築保護條例》出臺一周年之際，吳家大院以私產託管的做法也為諸多歷史建築活化利用探索出自己的路徑。1887年，越南華僑吳庚南、吳暢如兄弟在越南經商發財後，衣錦還鄉，購置田地，從越南等地運來的建築材料，修建而成吳家大院。當時命名為“吳庚南府第”，後又稱“吳慎德堂”。最初，建成的龍船脊鑊耳屋有近十棟，大小一致，整齊排列。大院的正門向東便是“九曲十三灣，灣灣有財主”的九江湧。在過去陸路運輸不發達的情況下，吳家大院門口特意修建了一個水埠頭。之後，吳氏後人按照中西合璧的建築風格，建起了四棟當時九江最高的青磚高樓。1938年，日軍入侵佔領了九江，吳家舉家上下搬離了大院，移居香港及海外，大院被日軍霸佔，一度成為大日本南支派遣軍佛山警備部九江警備隊總部。新中國成立後，吳家大院由黨政機關長期借用為駐地。老一輩的人親切地喚它為“公社”。1997年7月，九江鎮人民政府搬遷，將吳家大院返還給吳家後人。之後，這裡一直處於無人打理、破敗不堪的狀態。近年來，因吳氏後人散落世界各地，不便直接管理，他們將這座老宅委託給當地政府代管50年。九江鎮政府也象徵性地向吳氏後人交納租金，並先後對吳家大院投資約1000萬元進行修繕。如今，吳家大院是佛山難得的清末民初古建築群，也是九江鎮最大的華僑房。吳家大院佈局整齊壯觀，對研究晚清民國建築有著歷史和科學價值，並被為佛山市級文物保護單位。九江鎮政府代管吳家大院後，對古建築群進行修繕，並依照僑鄉博物館的概念，將吳家大院的歷史、嶺南文化、僑鄉文化等納入展示範圍，用於公益事業，建成後已對遊客免費開放。吳家大院的文創路遠不止於此。這裡也成為九江當地文化盛事的舉辦場所，相關民俗活動也在此舉行。南海區首個婚俗文化館--融愛婚俗文化館已在此揭幕，29戶南海家庭分享這家庭幸福故事，重溫了老式嶺南婚俗禮儀，讓傳統婚前禮俗、正婚禮俗、婚後禮俗等得以展示。不僅如此，吳家大院還聯動九江本地文化旅遊項目，與九江雙蒸博物館合作，實行客源共享，構成九江酒文化、華僑文化與嶺南文化參觀 的組合路線，從而增強對遊客的吸引力。
