Guangzhou (also known as Canton) is the capital of Guangdong Province and the third-largest city in China, home to approximately 18 million residents. Like all of China, it operates on China Standard Time (CST, UTC+8), a fixed year-round offset. Guangzhou is the heart of the Pearl River Delta megalopolis — one of the world's most densely populated and economically productive urban clusters, including Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, and Hong Kong. The region is one of the world's leading manufacturing zones, producing electronics, textiles, consumer goods, and machinery. The Canton Fair (China Import and Export Fair), held biannually in Guangzhou, is the world's largest trade fair, attracting over 200,000 international buyers per session. Guangdong cuisine (Cantonese food) — known for dim sum, roast meats, and fresh seafood — is the most globally influential Chinese cuisine, the origin of most 'Chinese food' served worldwide. Guangzhou's history as China's primary trading city with the outside world stretches back over 2,000 years.
