Guangzhou in China was formerly called Canton
|
 |
The history of Guangzhou dates back to 214 BC when the city named Panyu was established. 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 ancient ruler of the Nan Yue Kingdom (137 to 122 BC). Today nearly 8 million people live in the city.
