Guangzhou
Guangzhou was called Canton by the Portuguese sailors that traded here in the 16th century, but its history goes back much farther than that. A major settlement has been continuously occupied here for more than 2,200 years – and yet it's the city's modern successes that have the international community talking.
Major manufacturing and industry jobs have been migrating to Guangzhou for years, and it has become especially well-known for hosting the biggest international trade fair in China. When the Canton Fair is taking place in April and October, hotels in Guangzhou are only available to those with an advance booking.

Shenzhen
The richest city in China is also its third-largest. It bears the title of one of China’s ‘Special Economic Zones’, which means that former leader Deng Xiopeng established it as one of the country’s first attempts at modern capitalism. Travelers who have never been there have a habit of writing Shenzhen off as too new and commercial, but the fact remains that this is one of China’s most enthralling success stories of recent times. Commercial appeal dominates, and travelers owe it to themselves to see what the commotion is all about.

History

Guangdong was originally occupied by non-Han ethnic groups, and was first incorporated into the Chinese Empire in 222 BC, when Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin dynasty, conquered the area along the Xijiang River and Beijiang River valleys down to the Zhujiang River Delta. In 111 BC Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty extended rule as far as to Hainan Island. During the five centuries of the Sui, Tang, and Northern Song dynasties from AD 581 to 1126, the military and agricultural settlement of Guangdong, coupled with increasing overseas trade through Guangzhou port, led to an increase in migration into Guangdong, and to the rise of Guangzhou as a metropolis with a population of hundreds of thousands. Two major southward thrust of the Han Chinese took place, one in 1126, when Jurchens captured the Song capital, the other in 1279, when Mongols subdued Song dynasty. These migrations marked the beginning of the rapid cultural development of Guangdong. The population grew so fast that by the late 17 century, Guangdong had already become an area from which emigration took place. Migrants from Guangdong moved first to Guangxi, Sichuan and Taiwan and then in mid-19th century began to pour into Southeast Asia and North America.

Climate

Guangdong features tropical and sub-tropical climates. The average July temperature is little different from temperature on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and on the Yellow River, but the average January temperature is considerably higher, ranging from 13¡ãto 16¡ãC. The whole province almost lies within the area where two crops of rice can be grown a year.

Population

Ethnic composition and distribution: Guangdong is largely dominated by the Han people, with only a very small proportion of other ethnic minorities. The Yaos are concentrated principally near Guangdong's northwestern border in areas. The Shes live in the northeast.
