Friends, I go to Guangzhou several times a year. This June, I finally couldn't help but use my camera to record the beautiful scenery of Guangzhou in summer.
There are many beautiful scenery in Guangzhou, and I especially love the area of ​​Zhujiang New Town. Of course, this time I also recorded various beautiful and warm parks and classic attractions such as the Chen Family Ancestral Hall. I hope you like it.

Haixin Bridge
-------------------⭐⭐
Haixin Bridge is the first pedestrian landscape bridge across the Pearl River in Guangzhou.
It is located in the core area of the CBD, connected to Ersha Island Art Park in the north and Guangzhou Tower in the south. The upstream is about 300m away from Guangzhou Bridge, and the downstream is about 1600m away from Liede Bridge.
The core area of Guangzhou city boasts world-class urban landscapes on both sides of the Pearl River. However, what is lacking in this vibrant metropolis is not just a bridge, but a functional urban public space that seamlessly connects the two sides.
The pedestrian bridge will embrace the city center with an open posture, creating an unrivaled panoramic view that overlooks the Pearl River's core scenic area. Not only will it serve as a vital artery for urban connectivity, but it will also provide a stunning public space for citizens and visitors alike.
The design concept for the bridge is deeply rooted in the regional cultural identity, which is fully reflected in its architectural features. The bridge's form draws inspiration from the water sleeve and ancient Qin, two distinct cultural motifs found in the Lingnan region.
Similarly, the bridge deck's landscape design is inspired by the local water flower market, creating a cohesive and integrated design that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The bridge's design solution moves beyond traditional approaches to bridge design, as the introduction of flower boats creates a physical separation between the eastern and western sides of the bridge deck.
The first pedestrian bridge across the Pearl River in Guangzhou, the first landmark building originally created by a local designer in the core section of the central axis of Guangzhou, is currently the widest and longest oblique-arch curved-beam pedestrian bridge in the world.
The bridge was setting the record for the world's largest span and widest oblique arch curved beam pedestrian bridge.

Situated on the Pearl River, Guangzhou has a maritime heritage stretching back over 2,000 years and its vast port is China's main transport and trading hub. It was also one of the starting points of the old Silk Road, a trading route that stretched across Asia.
Why is Guangzhou special?
Guangzhou has served as a doorway for foreign influence since the 3rd century CE and was the first Chinese port to be regularly visited by European traders, who called it Canton.
But perhaps the most memorable aspect of Guangzhou is its food. The city is renowned for its Cantonese cuisine, which is a style of Chinese cooking that is celebrated all over the world for delicious flavours and innovative techniques - both traditional and modern.
Guangzhou is located in the subtropical zone, which is with long time of summer and warm winter, and the trees in Guangzhou are always green and the flowers are always in blossom all year round. It has enjoyed the reputation of Flower City since ancient times.
