Huangpu Port
Located on the northern bank of the Pearl River estuary in southeastern Guangzhou, Huangpu Port serves as the largest coastal and ocean transportation hub in South China. With a history dating back to the Sui and Tang dynasties as Guangzhou’s outer anchorage, it has undergone multiple expansions since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Today, it stands as one of the “Eight Scenic Spots of Yangcheng.”
Nansha Port
Situated on Longxue Island in Nansha District, Nansha Port faces the South China Sea to the south, neighbors Shenzhen to the east, and connects with Nanhai, Panyu, and Shunde to the west. As a pivotal hub at the geometric center of the Pearl River Delta, it boasts advanced container terminal facilities and serves as a vital gateway linking Guangzhou with urban clusters across the delta.
Foshan Port
Located in central-southern Guangdong within the Pearl River Delta hinterland, Foshan Port borders Guangzhou to the east, Zhaoqing to the west, Zhuhai to the south, and Qingyuan to the north. Its strategic location, robust transport networks, and resource advantages make it a key port in Guangdong Province.
Guangzhou Port
As South China’s largest comprehensive hub port, Guangzhou Port traces its origins to the 3rd-century Maritime Silk Road. In 2016, it handled 544 million tons of cargo and 18.86 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), ranking among China’s top ports in scale and efficiency.
These ports not only drive economic exchanges within Guangzhou and surrounding regions but also serve as critical nodes in China’s global trade network.
