Joining the Pearl River Cruise tour, we were amazed by her charms at night.

Illuminated by passion of talents, the city shines with brilliant light.

While we worship Guangzhou as our nation's third largest city of economic scale,

From the city of flower, a gathering of shipping elites designed us a dream course to sail.
