The Place

Guangzhou, China

City introduction

Guangzhou, China
Guangzhou · China

Canton's dim sum capital on the Pearl River. Guangzhou is the origin city of Cantonese cooking — morning yum cha that runs on trolleys and ritual, rice-roll and congee streets, and a Pearl River promenade that ends at Canton Tower's lights. The old town's markets and temples sit close enough to see in a food-led two days.
