Guangzhou travel guide · Asia
Guangzhou, historically known as Canton, is a vibrant metropolis and the capital of Guangdong Province in southern China. One of China's oldest and most prosperous cities, it has been an international trading hub for over 2,000 years and is celebrated for its world-renowned Cantonese cuisine, rich cultural heritage, and dynamic modern skyline. Home to the legendary Canton Fair, it remains one of Asia's most cosmopolitan and commercially significant cities.
October to November and April to May offer the best weather in Guangzhou's subtropical climate, avoiding the intense summer heat (up to 40°C) and typhoon season from June to September. Note that the Canton Fair takes place in mid-April to early May and mid-October to early November, which can make accommodation scarce and expensive.
