The US Consulate in Guangzhou is located on a 7.5 acre urban site in a fast-growing district adjacent to the Pearl River. Five low-rise pavilions include public, staff and diplomatic entry pavilions, site infrastructure and support, and  a pair of office buildings—including work spaces, a cafeteria, library, and multi-purpose room—define the core consular functions, and are set within a lush garden setting that contrasts with the dense urban context.
