Cantonese is primarily spoken in the Guangdong province of China, with major cities including Guangzhou, which is the provincial capital, and Shenzhen. Additionally, Hong Kong and Macau, both Special Administrative Regions, predominantly use Cantonese as the main language. Other cities in the region, such as Foshan and Dongguan, also have significant Cantonese-speaking populations.

It depends where you are. Standard Mandarin is your best bet for most places in China and Taiwan, and is about %50 in the US, Canada, etc. Yue Cantonese speakers were the first immigrants to non-Chinese places, but they've pretty much evened out with Mandarin now.

Is Hong Kong part of guangdong'?

No. Hong Kong is an independent region that falls under the special administrative region status of the People's Republic of China. It is a reasonable, yet incorrect, belief that Hong Kong is a part of Guangdong, however. The capital of Guangdong is Canton (also known as Guangzhou), which is the origin of the Cantonese dialect which is the predominantly spoken language in Hong Kong. The christening of "Guangdong" in English was romanized by the Cantonese pronounciation of the province. The word for "Cantonese" in the dialect itself can roughly be translated to "Guangdong speak". Cantonese is most heavily concentrated in Hong Kong, Macau, and parts of Guangdong, initiating ties between the three.
