Guangzhou City from Above - Aerial View of China's Southern Metropolis

Guangzhou is a fascinating city located in the Pearl River Delta in Southern China. Over the years, it has grown into a major trading and business hub. While glitzy skyscrapers dominate the skyline, Guangzhou also has a variety of neighborhoods with a more relaxed and traditional atmosphere.
The city is at the heart of the most populous built up metropolitan area in mainland China. Guangzhou’s history is characterized by trade and revolution, and unlike many other areas in China the region was connected with Western countries for many centuries. The Portuguese and British, for instance, used the city as a trading hub as early as the 16th century.
In this cinematic aerial video I explore this vast metropolis with my drone, visiting some of the most iconic places. From the eye-catching Canton Tower (with a height of 604 meters) to the modern business district, from residential neighborhoods to a traditional temple complex. While Guangzhou’s skyline is impressive during the day, it becomes spectacular during the night when many buildings are lit up with neon lights.
Most footage was shot in early 2019, but there are also a few clips from 2016, taken during my first aerial photography project in China.
Feel free to leave comments below. Thanks for watching!

No one knows how great it is living in Guangzhou, until you take a try. Just compare it with Toronto. Guangzhou is welcome everyone.

A city very beautiful better than many cities of Us

[@cohall46]

Stunning scenery. I wonder if there were any restrictions on what you could video with the drone?

[@stefhoffer]

China is (perhaps somewhat surprisingly) relatively relaxed when is comes to flying drones, but there are a set of rules and guidelines in place.

[@jigga2473]

Looks absolutely magnificent and stunning, especially at night. But I couldn't help but notice all that thick pollution in the air and the river. You could almost 'feel it' through the computer screen. Is is that bad or it was just a cloudy, rainy day when the footage was taken? By the way do they drive on the right side in China like in the US?

[@stefhoffer]

Yes, they drive on the right side in China. Definitely a lot of air pollution in many places that I visited.
