Guangzhou (Canton) is the largest city (third largest in China) and capital of Guangdong province.
A warm, welcoming city with legacies of the old colonial concessions and the Sun Yet-Sen lead revolution.
We were fortunate to have the opportunity to enjoy a bike tour during the day and river cruise in the evening.
Hopefully we will have the opportunity for a further exploration of this fascinating metropolitan monolith.

On a bike in the back streets of Guangzhou |
B1 and B2 with Ted the middle - still in the backstreets!!!! |
Intrepid cyclists outside a colonial style coffee shop. |
Still being intrepid - outside the Mayor of Guangzhou residence. |
Now, how do we cycle across the Pearl River? |
Keeping a General eye on the younger generation! |
Pearl River beauty. |
Sunset over central Guangzhou from our hotel window. |
One of the many bridges across the river. |
Vegetation fighting back in the city centre. |
A former administrators residence, nestled amongst the high rise. |
Thankfully nobody was hurt, just dented bumper, bus and pride. |
It will take more than a little bump to stop us getting to Guangzhou. Tow truck, police and 45 minutes later and we were on our way again; just a tad more circumspect. |
