L/O/G/O Guangzhou
Guangzhou, located at the flourish Pearl River Delta( 珠江 三角洲 ) area, is the central city of South China. As the capital of Guangdong province, Guangzhou is one of the most important cities in China with a population of about 10 million, covering an area of 7,400 square kilometers.
Once upon a time five celestial beings in colourful robes, each riding a coloured goat holding an ear of grain in its mouth came down to Guangzhou. So Guangzhou is known as the Goat City (羊城) because of this legend. 传说有五位仙人骑着五只口衔谷穗的羊降临广州。 因此,广州便有了: “ 羊城 ” 的美名。 With the Tropic of Cancer (北回归线) crossing through north of the city, Guangzhou enjoys a favourable weather, thus is also called Flower City (花城). 又因北回归线从城北穿过,四季如春、 繁花似锦,故又有 “ 花城 ” 之称。
