- 1廣州（舊英譯 Canton；廣東省會，珠江邊，靠近香港）
Guangzhou is a huge city in southern China, on the Pearl River, in Guangdong province, not far from Hong Kong. For a long time English speakers called it Canton, and that old name is still hiding in everyday words: Cantonese for the language and the food, and the Canton Fair. Canton and Guangzhou are the same city, not neighbours. Guangzhou is a port, a trade-and-factory giant, and the capital of its province. The English spelling Guangzhou is fairly new in books — mid-20th century — from Hanyu for Mandarin 廣州 (Guǎngzhōu), a place-name built from expansive or broad plus district. In the south many people speak Cantonese; Mandarin is used too. If a text says Canton, read Guangzhou.
組成Mid-20th century English, from the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of Mandarin 廣州 (Guǎngzhōu), expansive district [capital].

- The Chinese side of the border, Shumchun, is a long building—a combination reception house, customs office, and dining facility. We were guided down corridors, past dining rooms crowded with businessmen noisily enjoying lunch before the train for Guangzhou pulled out.
- As a result, decisions to clean up the environment are routinely—and inaccurately—described as hurtful to prosperity. For example, in Guangzhou, China, the vice director of the city’s planning agency felt forced to defend a decision to limit automobile traffic as a means of reducing dangerous levels of air pollution by saying, “Of course from the government’s point of view, we give up some growth, but to achieve better health for all citizens, it’s worth it.”
