A nighttime photograph captures a detailed scene along a riverside promenade in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, China. The Canton Tower stands prominently in the background, illuminated with a distinct vertical rainbow gradient, transitioning from purple and blue at its base through green and yellow, to orange and red towards its apex. Its spire is brightly lit, and white Chinese characters are discernable on its illuminated structure. In the midground, a line of deciduous trees with green foliage separates the promenade from the Pearl River, which reflects ambient light. A light-colored bridge structure, possibly pink or light purple, spans the river behind the trees. The foreground consists of a wide, dark paved promenade, illuminated by embedded linear strip lights and spherical streetlights that cast warm, localized light. Approximately eight individuals are present across the scene. In the mid-right foreground, one subject in a light-colored jacket and dark pants stands with arms crossed, facing forward. Several other subjects are observed walking or standing in small groups further back on the promenade and closer to the river. Their attire is casual. The sky overhead is dark and clear, typical of a nighttime urban environment.
