The situation in Guangdong Province is even more serious. There are more than 2 million square meters in Guangzhou and more than 600,000 square meters in Shantou, and most of these are located in the commercial districts in the city centers. The total area of housing to be returned to overseas Chinese in the rural villages of Guangdong comes to more than 17 million square meters.
至於廣東省情況更嚴重，譬如廣州市是二百多萬平方米，汕頭市有六十多萬平方米僑房，大多位於市中心所謂的「商業網點」上；而廣東全省農村的應退僑房面積，更高達一千七百多萬平方米。
