This small town in the far south of Guangdong province is home to just under a million souls. Taishan is very little known to tourists. The city lies in the middle of the mountains and covers 3,286 km ². Taishan is also called «the homeland of overseas Chinese», as 70% of today's expatriates in the United States claim to be from the city. Taishan remains a friendly stop for lovers of the mountain and those who want to discover typical cities still spared by the hordes of tourists. The people of Taishan speak a dialect that is close to the Cantonese. Martial arts lovers will not be able to visit Taishan and his world-famous kung-fu school.
