Background
Cantonese culture means the culture with Guangzhou as the core and the Pearl River delta as the prevailing scope, which has a history of more than 2,000 years.
But now, with the change of times, many of the past Cantonese culture can not be inherited. The young generation is gradually unfamiliar with their hometown culture and lack of sense of cultural identity. Cultural products are used to stimulate this kind of people to pay attention to their own culture.
For foreign tourists, it can help them better understand the local culture of tourism, especially some of the poorly publicized culture. To continue this culture, it is necessary to innovate the culture and apply it to the products people need.
