Guangdong (formerly Canton), a coastal province in southeast China, borders Hong Kong and Macau. Its capital, Guangzhou, lies within the industrial region of the Pearl River Delta. This vast port hosts the Sun Yat-sen memorial, an octagonal building commemorating the founder of modern China. The city's colonial history shines through in its garden-lined boulevards and the 19th-century European architecture of Shamian Island..
