A nighttime photograph depicts two individuals standing along a stone balustrade bordering the Pearl River in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, China, looking across towards the illuminated skyline of Tianhe District. The primary male subject stands centrally, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with a graphic, dark pants, and black and white sneakers. A black and white plaid flannel shirt is draped over his crossed arms, and he looks into the distance with a neutral expression. To his right, a female subject stands with her back mostly to the camera, wearing a dark long-sleeved top, a dark plaid skirt, and dark trousers or leggings, with dark shoes. A bright pink tote bag with white handles rests on the stone balustrade to the left of the male. The Pearl River occupies the midground, reflecting multi-colored urban lights. The far bank features a line of brightly illuminated green trees, beyond which a dense cluster of high-rise buildings is visible, one prominently displaying the "CONRAD" logo. A smaller, traditional-style building with an orange roof and glowing lights is also visible near the river's edge on the opposite bank. A third individual, wearing a light-colored jacket and carrying a backpack, is partially visible on the far right of the frame.
