    Where to stay

    Neighborhood guide

    Tanzhou is a town within Zhongshan in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong, part of the dense manufacturing belt between Guangzhou and Macau. It is industrial and residential rather than a visitor destination, laid out on flat delta land threaded with waterways.

    What to see

    Timed to the light

    There are no significant attractions in the town itself, whose character is delta industry and market gardening. Zhongshan's centre, associated with Sun Yat-sen, is nearby, and Macau and Guangzhou are both within easy reach for a fuller day.

    Transit notes

    Buses and inexpensive taxis cover local distances, and the delta's expressway and bridge network makes driving the usual choice. High-speed rail connections from Zhongshan reach across the delta quickly.

    Seasons & timing

    The subtropical delta climate is hot and very humid in summer with a distinct typhoon season, and mild in winter. Autumn is the most comfortable, being drier and clearer than the rest of the year.
