Scenarios about 'Guangzhou'
Guangzhou, also historically known as Canton, is one of China's oldest and most significant port cities located in the Pearl River Delta of southern China. As a major trading hub since the Tang Dynasty, it served as China's only official port for foreign trade during much of the imperial era, particularly through the Canton System.
