The first Chinese port of trade to Europeans was Guangzhou, also known as Canton. It became a significant center for trade in the 16th century, particularly during the Ming and Qing dynasties, when European merchants, including the Portuguese and British, established trading relations. Guangzhou served as the primary gateway for Western goods entering China and for Chinese exports to Europe. The city's favorable location and established trade networks facilitated this early interaction.
