I began exploring China in 1974 at the tail end of the Cultural Revolution， and my first trip began by sailing from Hong Kong to Macau. That simple journey of about an hour took me right across the mouth of the Pearl River Delta.The two European colonies located either side of the river have become conduits of knowledge， culture and science over the previous few centuries， as well as religion and trade， flowing mainly from west to east. Today， or more precisely within the last few decades， that flow first became balanced， and then reversed.That very first trip took me onward from Macau to Zhongshan， home of “Father of the Republic” Sun Yat-sen and from there， I went on to Jiangmen on the bank of the western branch of the Pearl River， finally arriving in Guangzhou for Easter.The Pearl River Delta that I happened across on that very first trip into Mainland China presaged the following four and a half decades of my expeditions， many of which originated from the Pearl River Delta. In the process， I have witnessed the tremendous transformation from a sleepy， rural region into cities rivalling any modern metropolitan area in the world.Coast line and river delta has defined maritime trade for centuries. But the latter’s importance is unsurmountable as the artery allowing inland towns and villages to reach the sea， at times with tributaries like blood vessels for tiny communities to send their goods and even labour to the larger world. Of course， such a role can be reciprocal， bringing goods and travellers from the outside. One such traveller arrived here in 652， during the great Tang Dynasty.The Prophet Mohammed was said to pronounce， “Seek knowledge， even if you have to go to China”. Perhaps thus inspired， it was Sa’d Abu Waqqas， his maternal uncle， who came by boat to China from the Middle East and sailed up the Pearl River. He subsequently died in Guangzhou and his body is purportedly laid to rest in a tomb at the Islamic cemetery outside of the city.I paid a visit in 1984 to that sacred site， the Huaisheng Mosque， meaning “remembering the sage”. It was marked by a tall white tower， serving as a minaret from where the call to prayer is announced. In historical times， this pinnacle tower was used as a guiding light for boats arriving upriver at the port of Canton， be they from India， the Middle East or further west. Today， due to the shifting of the channel of the river， the mosque and its tower are many streets away from the bank of the Pearl River.This distant past of the Pearl River Delta can perhaps give us a frame of reference for how far we have come throughout the ages， with ideas and inspiration flowing just as the water of the North River， the East River， and the West River merge to become the Pearl River in its run to the South China Sea. Together， they create what today we call the Pearl River Delta， one of the most vibrant regions not only of China， but anywhere in the world.
The great southern metropolis at the very heart of the Pearl River Delta has played a major role in Chinese history since Qin forces first brought the lands South of Five Ridges under imperial rule over 2， 000 years ago. Geography alludes to why Guangzhou emerged as the regional hub. Situated on a relatively flat and fertile basin， inland， far from coastal storms， it is strategically backed by Baiyun Mountain – today a popular hiking route and location of Guangzhou International Airport – while three rivers converge in the city to forge the mighty Pearl River which empties in the South China Sea between Hong Kong and Macau.For a century it was seat of Nanyue Kingdom， remembered today in a fantastic museum and excavation site， namely， the Mausoleum of the Nanyue King， located near the remains of the city walls in the old district of Yuexiu. The Nanling region was brought back under direct imperial rule in 111BC when Panyu， as Guangzhou was then known， was made prefecture capital under the Eastern Han， a status it has retained for most of the centuries since.By the time of the flourishing Tang Dynasty (618–907) Guangzhou， along with Quanzhou in Fujian， had become a major port of trade and commerce along the Maritime Silk Road. So it should， perhaps， come as no surprise to learn that a thousand years later when the Qianlong Emperor (1733–1796) decided to route all foreign trade through one city， he chose the southern entrep?t of Guangzhou， a decree known to the west as the Canton System. The location of the 13 Factories where Europeans were instructed to anchor their trade vessels for half the year was situated beyond the city walls. It has since been subsumed by the rapid development of Pazhou District， although the old port has been maintained as an evocative walk-through museum called the Huangpu Ancient Port and Village Historical Culture Scenic Spot.The city’s mercantile， seafaring legacy is very much in evidence to this day， perhaps best expressed at the biannual Canton Fair， the world’s largest commodities market. Each spring and autumn， the city is flooded with traders， suppliers， and industrialists of all stripes， each seeking components and commodities for markets overseas.
