Guangzhou, also known as the City of Rams, is the capital of Guangdong Province and a core engine of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area. Situated on the northern edge of the Pearl River Delta near Hong Kong and Macau, it is one of China's leading commercial, cultural and transportation centers. With more than two thousand years of foreign trade history, Guangzhou carries on a "millennium-old commercial city" tradition, and its modern logistics industry keeps expanding to serve strong freight demand toward Hong Kong, Macau and the rest of the world.
