About Guangzhou
Southern Chinese city on the Pearl River delta, the country's traditional trading port with the outside world. Its centuries-old trade fair still anchors it.
Population about 15,000,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Guangzhou is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
