On the evening of November 9th, the 2024 GuangzhouInternational Light Festival officially kicked off.

ltaneously, 36 lighting installations, blending digital economy, artificial intelligence, and sporting elements, illuminated the night sky. In a groundbreaking moment, the Canton Tower was bathed in a 360-degree ring of light, synchronizing with the media facades of 24 buildings along Huacheng Square, Liede Bridge, Haixin Bridge, and both banks of the Pearl River, signalling the start of the 2024 GuangzhouInternational Light Festival.

From the media facades of 24 buildings along Jiangyan Road to Liede Bridge and extending to the media walls in the Pazhou West district, the festival uses the Pearl River as a timeline, with light installations as slices of the city's vibrancy. This light symphony on the river ignites the passion for sports and showcases the dynamic, colourful heart of the Greater Bay Area.

The light festival runs from November 9th to November 18th. The main venue at Haixinsha will operate on a closed, reservation-only system, with entry granted via verification of original valid identification documents.
