Nestled in the heart of Guangzhou's Tianhe Central Business District, Liede International Neighborhood stands as a vibrant bridge between the city's ancient roots and its global future. Strategically located along the Pearl River with seamless access to major transport networks, Liede connects effortlessly to China's Greater Bay Area and to the world.
In 2025, Liede wasn't just a place - it was a feeling. A feeling of belonging, celebration, and seamless connection between Canton and the world.
The year unfolded as a living tapestry of cultural exchange. Aromas of global cuisine filled the air during the Guangzhou Gourmet Festival, while the rhythm of Liede Dragon Boat races echoed centuries of tradition. Energy flowed through Street Dance Competitions, creativity flourished at the Sino-Greek Youth Art Exhibition, and warmth radiated from community celebrations like the Mid-Autumn Carnival.
At the heart of it all stood the "Haoyitianhe" Service Center, a true urban living room. Here, cultures meet, questions find answers, resources are shared, and friendships take root.
This was Liede in 2025: a thriving microcosm of Guangzhou's spirit, home to over 3,300 international residents from more than 80 countries and regions, a living showcase of how deep local roots can grow into a truly global community.
