Guilin, Canton and Guangdong

Más información sobre el libro

A tranquil town set amidst craggy mountains, rivers and misty lakes, Guilin is known for its unique scenic beauty -- a beauty that encapsulates the special allure of China's natural wonders. By contrast, the bustling city of Canton typifies China's entrepreneurial spirit. For hundreds of years Canton has received foreign traders and has been China's southern "window on the world." Today with its own language and magnificent cuisine, Canton has a personality all its own, which sets it apart from the rest of China. The richly varied surrounding province of Guangdong - of which Canton is the capitol -- is also described in this guide, including Guangdong's three Special Economic Zones and the paradise island of Hainan.
