What city did the Chinese limit European trade to in the late 1700s?

In the late 1700s, the Chinese limited European trade primarily to the city of Canton, known today as Guangzhou. This restriction was part of the Qing Dynasty's efforts to control foreign influence and trade. The Canton System established a trade monopoly, allowing European merchants to interact only with designated Chinese merchants, known as hong. This system significantly shaped the dynamics of trade between China and European powers during that period.
