Yuexiu District is the oldest central urban area of Guangzhou. After the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty, the Nanhai Commandery was established. Commandant Ren Xiao selected a region between Baiyun Mountain and the Pearl River (within the current Yuexiu District) as the seat of the commandery. In 214 BC, the Panyu City was built (the ruins of Panyu City are located within Yuexiu District). Over time, the landscape changed dramatically: the Pearl River’s banks shifted southward, inland lakes vanished, river channels silted up, and the alluvial plains expanded. Panyu City continued to grow through various historical dynasties, such as the westward expansion during the Han Dynasty, multiple expansions during the Song Dynasty (including the construction of the inner city, eastern and western wing cities, and the Yanchi City), the merging of the three Song Dynasty city walls over Yuexiu Mountain during the early Ming Dynasty, and the construction of a new city along the river during the Qing Dynasty. Over the 2,000 years of feudal society in China, the development and transformation of Guangzhou mainly took place within the Yuexiu District. Due to its geographical and historical significance, Yuexiu District possesses the following characteristics:

1. The Historical Administrative Center of Lingnan

Since the establishment of the Nanhai Commandery during the Qin Dynasty, Yuexiu District has been the administrative center of Lingnan. During the Western Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, built the Nanyue Kingdom Palace here. During the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan declared himself emperor and constructed lavish palaces. Successive dynasties, from the Eastern Wu’s establishment of Guangzhou, the Tang Dynasty’s Lingnan Circuit, the Song Dynasty’s Guangnan East Road, the Yuan Dynasty’s Branch Secretariat, to the Ming and Qing Dynasties’ Guangdong Province, all set their military and administrative centers within Yuexiu District. During the Republic of China era, Sun Yat-sen’s presidential office was located at the southern foot of Yuexiu Mountain (near the current Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall). After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Yuexiu District became home to numerous party and government institutions. Today, it is the location of the Guangdong Provincial Committee, Provincial Government, Provincial People’s Congress, Guangzhou Municipal Committee, Municipal Government, and Municipal People’s Congress.

2. The Historical Cultural Center of Guangzhou

During the Three Kingdoms period, Yu Fan began teaching in Yuexiu District. During the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, many overseas monks came to China to translate scriptures and preach at the Guangxiao Temple. Since the Tang Dynasty’s imperial examination system, Guangzhou has been a place for scholars to study and advance their education. To this day, Yuexiu District retains numerous ancient academies, schools, and cultural relics, such as the Nanhai Academy, Panyu Academy, Yuexiu Academy, Yuehua Academy, Yingyuan Academy, Xihu Academy, Lujiang Academy, and Wanmu Cottage. These sites stand as the best witnesses to Guangzhou’s historical culture and its cultural exchanges with the outside world.

3. A District Rich in Historical Sites

With its long history and profound cultural heritage, Yuexiu District is home to a wealth of historical sites. Notable national and provincial-level cultural protection units include the Guangxiao Temple, Huaisheng Mosque, Sacred Heart Cathedral, the Site of the Guangzhou Commune, the Qin Dynasty Shipyard Ruins, Zhenhai Tower, Wuxian Temple and Lingnan First Tower, the Ming Dynasty City Wall, the March 29th Uprising Headquarters Site, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and Monument, Huanghuagang, and the Martyrs’ Cemetery.

4. A Thriving Commercial District Throughout History

Guangzhou was one of the earliest and largest foreign trade ports during China’s feudal period and the first city to establish customs officials (the Tang Dynasty’s Maritime Trade Commissioner). Frequent foreign trade brought prosperity to Guangzhou. During the Tang Dynasty, many Persians and Arabs came to trade and settled in the current Guangta Road area, forming the “Fanfang” (foreign quarter). During the Song Dynasty, the area south of “Shuangmendi” (now Beijing Road) developed into a bustling commercial district. The southwestern part of the city, including Nanhaokou and Xi’ao (now Shishu Street and the area around the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine), was Guangzhou’s largest foreign trade dock and the location of the Maritime Trade Office, known as the “Market of All Goods and the City of Five Capitals.” During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Haopan Street area (then the city moat) was lined with shops and entertainment venues, comparable to Nanjing’s Qinhuai River. Among Guangzhou’s four modern commercial centers, three are located in Yuexiu District: Beijing Road, Zhongshan Fifth Road, Jiefangzhong Sipailou, and Changdi-Renmin South Road. Since 1957, the China Import and Export Fair has been held biannually in Yuexiu District.

Since the reform and opening-up, several distinctive commercial streets have emerged in the district. Today, the Beijing Road and Zhongshan Fifth Road area has become Guangzhou’s most prosperous commercial and cultural tourism district. The Huanshidong International Central Business District, with its concentration of office buildings, dense flow of people, goods, capital, and information, has formed a distinctive “headquarters economy,” making it an important window for South China’s opening to the world.

In Guangzhou, cuisine is not merely a gustatory delight but also an embodiment of culture and an attitude towards life. As the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine, one of China’s four major cuisines, Guangzhou, with its unique flavors, rich cooking techniques, and profound cultural heritage, attracts countless foodies in search of culinary secrets.

Morning Tea Culture: A Leisurely Start to the Day

When discussing Guangzhou cuisine, morning tea cannot be overlooked. In Guangzhou, drinking morning tea is not just a dietary habit but a way of life. Early in the morning, stepping into a traditional tea house, ordering a pot of steaming Tieguanyin or Pu’er tea, accompanied by a few baskets of delicate dim sum such as shrimp dumplings, siu mai, rice noodles rolls, and barbecued pork buns, marks the beginning of a wonderful day for Guangzhou residents. The dim sum here emphasizes perfection in color, aroma, taste, and appearance, with every bite a pursuit of the original taste of ingredients.

The Essence of Cantonese Cuisine: A Balance of Tradition and Innovation

Cantonese cuisine is renowned for its delicate flavors and emphasis on fresh ingredients. In Guangzhou, you can sample authentic Cantonese roast meats, such as crispy-skinned and tender roast goose and juicy roast pork, each bite leaving a lasting impression. Furthermore, classic dishes like steamed chicken with soy sauce and steamed seafish showcase the pure taste of ingredients to the fullest. In recent years, with continuous innovation in cooking techniques, Cantonese cuisine in Guangzhou has integrated new elements based on tradition, such as the application of molecular gastronomy, breathing new life into traditional delicacies.

Exploring Snack Streets: A Collection of Authentic Flavors

Guangzhou’s snack streets, like Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street and Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, are great places to taste authentic Guangzhou snacks. Here, you’ll find a variety of local snacks such as beef offal, wonton noodles, double-skinned milk pudding, and desserts, each snack carrying the memories and emotions of Guangzhou people. Walking through the bustling crowds and savoring these delicious snacks feels like traveling through time, experiencing the history and changes of this city.

Night Market Atmosphere: Another Side of Nightlife

As night falls, Guangzhou’s night markets begin to bustle. Here, you can discover many hidden culinary treasures. Fried rice noodles, barbecues, grilled fish, and other seemingly simple snacks become exceptionally delicious in the hands of skilled chefs. Additionally, there are many specialty drinks and snacks such as coconut water and mango sorbet, adding a touch of coolness and comfort to Guangzhou’s night.

Conclusion

Guangzhou’s cuisine is a unique cultural symbol of this city and a reflection of Guangzhou people’s attitude towards life. Here, you can taste a variety of flavorful cuisines and feel Guangzhou people’s love and pursuit of life. Whether it’s traditional morning tea, classic Cantonese dishes, authentic snacks, or night market delicacies, they all leave a lasting impression and are worth revisiting. Guangzhou, this culinary capital, is attracting more and more foodies with its unique charm to explore a feast for the palate.

Recently, national coordinators from Pakistan, Tajikistan, Iran and other SCO member states came to China to participate in relevant activities within the SCO framework. They affirmed China’s efforts in accelerating various work as the SCO chairmanship and indicated that they will actively support the work of the Chinese chairmanship.

After the SCO summit in Astana last July, China officially took over the SCO’s rotating presidency for 2024 to 2025. China will host the SCO summit and more than 100 meetings and events within the SCO framework, and is committed to hosting a friendly, united and fruitful SCO summit.

**Event Highlights: “Greeting the Spring Festival · Tasting New Year Flavors” in Haikou**

On January 27, 2025, the Haikou Foreign Affairs Office hosted the “Coconut City International Salon” event “Greeting the Spring Festival · Tasting New Year Flavors,” attracting numerous international residents to experience a unique “intangible cultural heritage (ICH) version” of the Spring Festival and embark on a cross-cultural exchange journey.

The event featured traditional Chinese activities such as **dumpling-making** and **singing performances**. During the dumpling-making session, staff introduced the auspicious symbolism of “dumplings” and demonstrated how to wrap them. Georgian restaurant owner George shared his experience: “Since arriving in China, I’ve been captivated by its culture and warm people. I decided to bring Georgian cuisine and culture here. In Haikou, I feel like I’m at home and hope to share Georgia’s charm with more people through my restaurant. The Chinese market is full of opportunities, and I will continue to work hard to contribute to cultural exchange between China and the world” .

Jan Kerekes, founder of Haikou Quanliang International Trade Co., Ltd., expressed his admiration for China: “After traveling the world, I chose to settle in Hainan, China, captivated by its climate, environment, and people. Noticing the lack of high-quality mineral water in China, I decided to introduce world-class mineral water here to promote health. I also hope to foster trade and cultural exchange through my efforts. China is a vibrant and promising country, and I am honored to realize my dreams here” .

This “Greeting the Spring Festival · Tasting New Year Flavors” event marked the third consecutive year that the Haikou Foreign Affairs Office has hosted a New Year celebration for international residents. The initiative aims to deepen foreigners’ understanding of traditional Chinese culture through diverse activities. The office plans to continue organizing more exchange programs to enhance Haikou’s international brand and promote mutual cultural appreciation, bridging friendships and cultural connections among people from different countries through joyful interactions .

China has accumulated advantages to back up its outstanding position in the global market and maintain investor confidence, including a huge market growth potential, a skilled labor pool, unparalleled infrastructure, and investment in its capabilities as a manufacturing base for industries of the future.

In this guide, we discuss why China is proving to be a hotbed for companies looking to leverage market advantages such as:

• World’s largest domestic market;
• Leading global manufacturing capacity;
• Multiple special economic zones and business incentives;
• Developed infrastructure and supply chain;
• Network of Free trade and tax agreements; and,
• Market reform and improving business environment;

Global manufacturing capacity

China’s manufacturing dominance remains significant despite the changes brought about by the pandemic – China makes up 28.7 percent of the total global output for manufacturing.

China remains an attractive destination for manufacturing overall and holds many advantages over its competitors:

• Skilled workforce and labor pool
• Developed shipping and logistics infrastructure; and,
• Government incentives promoting the sector, among others.

While wages have risen, so has worker productivity as the workforce becomes more skilled with higher-quality resources. China also has a developed shipping and logistics infrastructure and is increasingly a market for manufactured goods rather than just a producer, letting businesses take advantage of the proximity for reduced shipping costs.

While a diminishing workforce and stronger government enforcement of regulations are increasing the costs of labor, China aims to remain competitive by boosting productivity and producing higher-value goods. As certain labor-intensive industries such as apparel shift to lower-cost locations like Vietnam and India, Beijing is responding by encouraging manufacturers to move up the value chain and produce more innovative products.

The “Made in China 2025” campaign promotes this effort, hoping to spur the country into a global power in manufacturing advanced technology in place of cheap and often imitated merchandise.

Although the country has not yet fully transitioned from low cost to high value manufacturing, capitalizing on government incentives promoting the sector can pay dividends.

Investors can also take solace in the fact that the factories they contract are gradually providing their employees with better conditions and benefits, thus providing often marginalized groups with improved living standards. China’s vast financial resources and significant domestic market present lucrative opportunities during the industry’s transition phase.

Incentives for doing business

The Chinese government offers numerous investment-related business incentives and is continually making further improvements through reforms and by further upgrading its incentives to maintain the country’s high appeal to foreign investors. Among all investment incentives, tax incentives tend to be one of the most important to foreign investors and one of the most attractive features of the business landscape.

From the investor’s perspective, tax incentives are legitimate tools for reasonable tax planning and cost savings. It is also a useful indicator of market trends and government priorities.

China has implemented a series of preferential tax policies, in turn attracting a large number of foreign capital and foreign-invested enterprises and effectively promoting the adjustment and optimization of various industrial structures.

There are multiple forms of tax incentives available to businesses and can be primarily categorized as tax incentives based on:

• Type of tax – particularly Corporate income tax (CIT), value-added tax (VAT), and individual income tax (IIT).
• Size of businesses – such as small and low-profit enterprises, small- and medium-sized enterprises and small-scale VAT taxpayers.
• Sector-wise – to guide industrial upgrade, to support the development of the sector, or to respond to the special characteristics of the sector.
• Region-based – to encourage investments in certain less attractive areas or to give comparative advantages to more economic zones.

Several other types of incentives are offered by the Chinese government in qualifying special circumstances. These are explained in our incentives guide, and summarize below:

• Tariff exemptions on imported equipment – for encouraged foreign-invested projects, the import of self-use equipment within the total amount of investment can be exempted from customs duties;
• Access to preferential land prices and looser regulation of land uses – land can be preferentially supplied for encouraged foreign-funded projects with intensive land use. The land transfer reserve price can be determined at 70 percent of the national minimum price for the transfer of industrial land, which yet shall be no less than that of the local land; and
• Other bonuses for foreign investment engaged in the encouraged sectors, such as more flexibility in hiring talents, a shorter turnaround in dealing with government administration, a lower threshold in the financing, etc.

 

 

 

On February 26, 2025 (Wednesday), a drone carrying cross-border e-commerce imported goods took off from the second-floor platform of Guangzhou Huangpu Comprehensive Bonded Zone’s cross-border e-commerce supervision center. It delivered packages to consumers at the zone’s Cross-Border Direct Purchase Store in just three minutes, marking a significant milestone in integrating “low-altitude economy” with cross-border e-commerce.

This initiative exemplifies the fusion of new productive forces and emerging industries. The Huangpu Customs has supported Huangpu Comprehensive Bonded Zone in pioneering drone deliveries for cross-border e-commerce imports. In 2024, the district’s first bonded direct purchase store project was launched, adopting a “front-store, back-warehouse” model that directly connects physical retail spaces with large-scale bonded storage facilities.

Consumers can experience “offline shopping, online ordering, and rapid delivery” by placing orders through the store’s digital platform. After customs clearance and packaging at the bonded warehouse, drones transport goods directly to customers, enhancing the shopping experience and expanding new consumption scenarios for cross-border e-commerce. This innovation has equipped the bonded stores with the “wings” of low-altitude economy, replacing traditional delivery vehicles and accelerating the connection between “front stores” and “back warehouses.”

In 2025, Suide East Customs, under Huangpu Customs, further refined the low-altitude logistics regulatory framework in the zone. By optimizing checkpoint configurations and dedicated inspection platforms, it facilitated broader adoption and higher-quality applications of drone logistics, achieving normalized operations for “front-store, back-warehouse” drone deliveries. Consequently, drone delivery frequencies surged, with the customs-supervised cross-border import trade value rising by approximately 7% in January.

Additionally, to boost cross-border exports, Huangpu Customs pioneered a “pre-inspection, post-loading” pilot program within the zone. This allows enterprises to complete customs declaration simultaneously with warehouse loading, streamlining workflows from a sequential to a parallel process. By integrating non-intrusive inspection equipment and information-based verification, customs oversight remains effective while slashing export clearance time from four hours to near-instantaneous speeds. This achieves a balance between “effective regulation” and smooth clearance, empowering cross-border e-commerce to reach new heights.
