Executive summary by darmansjah
Guangzhou-known historically as Canton or, less commonly,
Kwangchow- is the capital and largest city of Guangdong province, People's
Republic of China. Located on the Pearl River, about 120 km (75 mi)
north-northwest of Hong Kong and north-northeast of Macau, Guangzhou is a key
national transportation hub and trading port. One of the five National
Central Cities, it holds sub-provincial administrative status. The Cantonese
people language that is spoken in Hong Kong and Macau originated from
Guangzhou.
Guangzhou is the third largest Chinese city and southern
China's largest city. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 12.78
million. Some estimates place the population of the entire Pearl River Delta
Mega City built up area as high as 40 million including Shenzhen (10.36
million), Dongguan (8.22 million) and most parts of Foshan (7.19 million),
Jiangmen (4.45 million), Zhongshan (3.12 million) and a small part of Huizhou
adjoining Dongguan and Shenzhen, with an area of about 20,000 square kilometres
(7,700 sq mi). In 2008 Guangzhou was identified as a Beta World City by the
global city index produced by the GaWC, the Globalization and World Cities
Research Network.
Guangzhou Railway Station serves the city of Guangzhou,
China. It sits on the high speed Guangshen railway just west of Guangzhou East
station. As one of the busiest railway stations in southern China, Guangzhou
station is known for its notorious safety record. CRH trains from Guangzhou
serves Shenzhen six times daily.
Services from this station include trains to Beijing
(Jingguang railway) and Lhasa. It is served by the Guangzhou Metro on Line 2
and Line 5.
As early as the 1950s, the provincial government saw the
need for a central train station in Guangzhou but the plans were shelved until
1974 due to the Cultural Revolution. On the 4th of April, 1979 with the
normalisation of relations with Hong Kong, the through-train service that was
suspended for over twenty-five years was resumed. Through-train services were
moved to Guangzhou East in 1996 due to the increasing security problems the
station was experiencing.
