Why Study in GDEI

Predominant Geological Location

Guangdong University of Education is located in downtown Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong Province. Guangzhou is the main manufacturing hub of the Pearl River Delta, one of mainland China's leading commercial and manufacturing regions. Guangzhou is also known as the host city for the China Import and Export Fair, also called "Canton Fair". By far Guangzhou has been twinned with 12 foreign cities, including Los Angeles in the US, Sydney in Australia and Bangkok in Thailand and so on. International students can experience the cultural integration of Guangzhou which has always been adhering to embracing the world with an open mind.
