广州位于珠江之滨。根据历史的记载:公元前珠江原是一片浅海,河面宽阔,若干百年来,由于东、西、北江河水冲积,桑海沧田,迄明末清初,河面趋窄。民国初期,工商业的发展,长堤一带兴建的大新公司、先施公司、爱群、大三元、大同酒店等高层公共建筑,珠江北岸基本定型。广州人民和珠江结下了深厚的感情。解放前,长堤一带已经是劳动人民休憩的集 Guangzhou is located on the shore of the Pearl River. According to historical records, the Pearl River in the past was a shallow sea with a wide river surface. During the past few centuries, the river surface was narrowed due to the alluvial waters of the East, West, and North Rivers, and the sanghai field. In the early years of the Republic of China, the development of industry and commerce, high-rise public buildings such as Daxin Company, Xianshi Company, Aiqun, Dasanyuan, and Datong Hotel built along the Long Beach and the north shore of the Pearl River were basically stereotyped. The people of Guangzhou and the Pearl River have forged deep feelings. Before the liberation, the Long Beach area was already a gathering place for the working people to rest.
