Canton, China

Canton is a city whose history reflects that of all of China.
It has been a foreign trading port for over 2,000 years, a pivotal flash point during the Opium Wars, and a center for revolutionary activities
for which it gained its recognition as the Birthplace of Modern China.
It was here that Sun Yatsen and Mao Zedong began reshaping their nation over 60 years ago.
See Sun Yatsen's impressive Memorial Hall, the famous Flower Pagoda, and Shamian Island, the atmospheric enclave of aging but still grand colonial buildings of the old British and French taipans.
Or, visit the Canton Zoo, home of Canton's most famous residents, the giant pandas.
