e to Guangzhou
Guangzhou,
located at the flourish Pearl River Delta(珠江三角洲) area,
is the central city of South China.
Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong province.
Once upon a time five celestial beings in colourful robes, each riding a coloured goat holding an ear of grain in its mouth
came down to Guangzhou.
So Guangzhou is known as the Goat City(羊城) because of this legend.

传说有五位仙人骑着五只口衔谷穗的羊降临广州。因此,广州便有了:“羊城”的美名。
With the Tropic of Cancer(北回归线) crossing through north of the city, Guangzhou enjoys a favourable weather, thus is also called Flower City(花城).
又因北回归线从城北穿过,四季如春、繁花似锦,故又有“花城”之称。
The kapok(木棉花) is the city flower of Guangzhou
The thrush(画眉鸟) is the city bird of Guangzhou
