As 75 years have swiftly passed, bringing great changes to the world, the People's Republic of China welcomes its 75th birthday. On the evening of Sept 27, the whole city of Guangzhou was aglow with vibrant lights, to herald the upcoming Chinese National Day and commemorate this momentous occasion.

As night fell and the city lights twinkled into life, 24 buildings and major landmarks along the Pearl River, including the Haizhu Square, the Pazhou district, the Liede Bridge, and the Canton Tower, showcased neon messages such as "Warmly Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Joyous Chinese National Day, the Birthday of Our Great Nation", and "Love China" in loop, accompanied by dynamic displays of the images of the five-star red flag, the Great Wall, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and the Canton Tower. This spectacular illumination not only brightened the skyline of the city but also ignited patriotic fervor among the citizens, drawing many to stop and capture the moment.

During the Chinese National Day, these patriotic messages will be displayed at Guangzhou's key landmarks. Through this vibrant display, Guangzhou aims to cultivate a joyous and harmonious atmosphere for the festival, expressing heartfelt wishes to the motherland, while inspiring a deep sense of patriotism among its citizens.
