As midsummer arrives on schedule, the #MajorHeat solar term is also here. Southern breezes carrying waves of warmth weave through the streets and alleys of Lingnan, and photographers are busy capturing Guangdong's summer days through their lenses. Let's follow their perspectives into this colorful, vibrant solar term of Major Heat.
#SummerInGuangzhou
The setting sun casts slanting rays of light, filtering through trees and casting shadows along the banks of the Pearl River in Guangzhou. Photographer @Guo Zheng captures the silhouettes of cyclists passing by, sketching a tranquil summer evening.
#BirdPerchingOnLotus
Photographer @Cui Kaifeng focuses his lens on the Meijiang Agricultural Ecological Park in Xinhui, Jiangmen. In the height of summer, lotus flowers are budding, and a small bird perches gracefully on one. The lush greenery spreads, quietly soothing the restless summer heat.
#RhythmOfTheTidelands
As the tide recedes at dusk, the mudflats reflect the evening sky like a mirror. On Hengshiji Beach in Zhuhai, photographer @Jin Yaoming captures two children playing gleefully in the silt—their laughter and splashing waves igniting the summer twilight.
#PaddlingOnTheDongjiangRiver
Through the lens of photographer @Su Hongbin, let's take a look at Heyuan's summer. Rolling mountains lie under a cloud-dotted sky while the Dongjiang River stretches out like a crystal-clear mirror. High-rise buildings lining the riverbank blend harmoniously with the blue sky and water, creating a picturesque scene of a livable city. A paddleboard glides gently, sending ripples across the water and adding a touch of vitality to the view.
#DancingShadows
As night falls, photographer @Li Ganbin arrives at Gaobu Culture Square in Dongguan. After busy workdays, locals come here to unwind. While the summer heat is still lingering, the evening breeze begins to stir. Accompanied by the rhythm of the music, dancing figures stretch their shadows under the glow of amber lights.
