Moving to Guangzhou

As the capital and business centre of the wealthy Guangdong Province, Guangzhou expats will experience a city at the adrenalin-fuelled heart of Chinese industry. Guangzhou is well poised to become as well known as its towering skyscrapers, Guangzhou expat communities, and many international cultural centres would already suggest.

Behind the shadows of Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, Guangzhou is less known but among the most economically significant. As South China's largest seaport and one of the first economic free zones in China, Guangzhou has quietly developed a solid and growing manufacturing and commercial industry. Helping publicise its economic reforms and status as one of Chinas business centres, is its huge annual Chinese Export Commodities Fair.      

Adding to its international prominence is a large number of overseas Chinese expats that maintain homes and business ties in the city. The resulting growing economy and manufacturing jobs have lured waves of inland migrants to the city and expats will see a city rapidly expanding and still settling into new infrastructure and development.
