Guangzhou in China was formerly called Canton
|
 |
The history of Guangzhou dates back to 214 BC when the city named Panyu was established at this location. During the Qin Dynasty, Canton served as a military camp. One of the city's chief attractions is the tomb of Emperor Wen Li, the ruler of the NanYue Kingdom (137 to 122 BC). Many objects, ranging from musical instruments to a chariot, were discovered in 1983 during the excavations of this tomb. Today nearly 10 million people live in the city. |
