Located on the southern tip of China, Guangzhou is a large city with 11 million people and is the capital of Guangdong.

With the tropical climate and average temperature of 72 degrees all year long, water sports are popular, making the waterfront space even more valuable. In addition to the natural spaces along the river and coastline, there are several dozen parks in the area with lakes and ponds to enjoy.
