Working in Guangzhou

Guangzhou enjoys a mild sub-tropical climate with abundant annual rainfall, which makes it a beautiful and verdant city with flowers blooming all year round. It is commonly known as the "Flower City". It's also known nationally as the "Hometown of Fruit" for its rich variety of local fruits. One interesting legend holds that five gods riding on five goats brought the first grains to the city, so it is also known as the “City of Five Goats.”
