• Guangzhou has during its time, been the capital of China on three occasions. That was in 1925, 1927 and in 1931. Wonder why they kept changing.

• The city is known as the city of flowers. This is due to the subtropical climate, where flowers blossom year-round. The Spring festival sees the streets in full colour.
