Guangdong province is responding to the Belt and Road Initiative in its own unique way.

The "Southern Guangdong Ancient Post Route" refers to the passages used to transfer mail, men and material in Guangdong province before 1913.

Waterways, official and unofficial roads are part of this route in Guangdong.

The Southern Guangdong Ancient Post Route epitomizes Guangdong's historical development and is a continuation of its cultural context.
