For a few thousand years it has brought traders from Persia, Arabia and later the Western countries.
It is a broad river that runs through the centre of the city but also has many branches, since Guangzhou
is located on the Pearl River delta. This makes the city charming with waterways and bridges and
beautiful parks.
The Pearl River is still a working river and to the east of the city you can see barges loaded for
transport to the ocean. One of nicest things to do in the evening is take the Pearl River scenic
cruise, which we did with both of our family visitors. Both nights were chilly, but the cruise still
was enjoyable. The lights along the river are colourful and the Canton Tower is nothing short
of a world-class spectacle in the evening.
