Isn't the area around Guangzhou (Canton) and the Pearl River delta the region where historically the Chinese immigrants that settled Chinatowns came from? Well, the western part of the Pearl River delta, I think. Which is why Taishanese, Cantonese etc. used to be the lingua franca of the Chinese diaspora up to the late 20th century in some places.

It's interesting to see how the ancestral "homeland" of much of the Chinese diaspora in the US has become such a huge sprawling region in these photos, when back in the days of the emigration away into the Gold Rushes of California, and the Chinatowns of the western world, from the late 1800s until a couple generations ago, the Pearl River delta would have been such an agrarian area and rural, losing people to emigration, compared to the bustling metropolises of NYC, Chicago, LA and San Francisco where some Chinatowns would be founded in.

Times must have changed a lot since then...
