This nighttime image depicts a view from the Pearl River promenade in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, China, looking north across the river towards the illuminated skyline of Tianhe District. In the foreground, a paved pedestrian walkway is visible. Two adult males are walking from left to right. The closer individual, positioned centrally, wears a light-colored t-shirt, olive-green trousers, and light-colored sneakers, carrying a grey backpack. A dark object is clipped to the side of his backpack. Further back and to the right, a second male walks, dressed in a dark short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers. A multi-lamp street light fixture on a dark pole stands between them, slightly left of the second individual. A stone railing separates the walkway from the Pearl River, which occupies the midground. The river's surface reflects various city lights. Across the river, the opposite bank features a line of illuminated green trees and a traditional Chinese pavilion-like structure, also lit. In the background, numerous modern skyscrapers dominate the skyline, brightly illuminated. Prominently visible is a tall building with "CONRAD" text illuminated on its facade. To its right, a distinctive curvilinear high-rise building with horizontal orange strip lighting stands out. Other high-rises display various patterns of light, including one with purple crown-like illumination near the left edge of the frame. The sky is dark and clear.
