  • The Pearl River is the third largest river in China and the largest one in Guangzhou (2,214 kilometers, about 1,376 miles). It is so called because it contains a stone island resembling a huge pearl, polished by the constantly-flowing water of the river. The Pearl River in Guangzhou City is picturesque, adorned by charming views along the river.

  • Chinese opera survived the passing of the centuries, the coming and going of dynasties, and has many strong female roles, though for most of its history, no females to play them. Women in China, especially of the upper class, had to observe very reserved and controlled conduct, and for the most part confined themselves indoors. It was only in the beginning in the 1930s, it became acceptable for women to perform in the opera.

Known as Lotus shoes, this social practice began in the Chinese court in the twelfth century, then reproduced by the peasant masses who imitated the elite.<br />
