Adjacent to Jiangxi Province, Fujian Province, Hunan Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region (both of which were part of Guangdong Province before being colonized), it has 21 prefecture-level cities and the provincial capital Guangzhou. It has always been an active industrial and trade center and the main terminal of the Maritime Silk Road. It was also important in the era of tea scissors. In some respects, it has always been different from northern China. There is a saying in Guangdong: "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away."
After Deng Xiaoping initiated economic reforms in 1978, the province's economy has improved significantly. As the location of China’s three major special economic zones (the "special economic zones" in the picture below, please refer to the list of provinces and regions in China) and a booming manufacturing industry, Guangdong is now one of China’s wealthiest provinces, with exports accounting for approximately China’s total exports One-third of the amount
Since the 1980s, Guangdong’s major cities have been attracting migrant workers from poor inland provinces. In many cities, this has led to petty crime and homelessness. This also means that Cantonese people use Mandarin more and more widely, and many taxi drivers or service personnel are more proficient in Mandarin rather than Cantonese.
Many overseas Chinese, especially those who immigrated before 1949, although many of them come from coastal provinces such as Fujian or the surrounding areas of Shanghai, their ancestry can be traced back to Guangdong. The Chinese cuisine most familiar to Westerners is basically Cantonese cuisine, which is sometimes adjusted according to the tastes of customers.
Guangdong has a subtropical climate. The average annual rainfall is 1500-2000 mm, and the average temperature is 19 degrees-26 degrees. Summer is hot and humid, and there may be typhoons. The best time to travel to Guangdong is in spring or autumn.
