Guangzhou
It was not so long ago that GUANGZHOU,
once known to the Western world as
Canton, was dismissed as a nightmare
caricature of Hong Kong, one of the most
dizzyingly overcrowded, polluted and
chaotic places to daunt a newcomer to the
country. While the city is still hardly
somewhere to come for peace and
relaxation, recent improvements have
wrought great changes: the waterfront
area has been paved and flowerbeds dug
wherever possible; old buildings have
been scrubbed and restored to public
view; the city's nightlife is snowballing;
and an expanding metro network and
multi-layered flyovers are relieving traffic
congestion.
