Weekly Highlights | Guangdong's Palette: Seven Shades of Elegance

Every color embodies a distinct temperament: there is the red sun that pierces the long night, the green leaves brimming with vitality, and the blue sky that embraces mountains and seas. The glittering city blends these elements into a flowing scroll that shifts with the dawn and dusk.

Every color holds a story of Lingnan, speaking to the temperament of the local Cantonese.

Enthusiastic Red

The river flowers at sunrise are as red as fire. Through the lens of photographer @Jin Yaoming, this streak of red surges up from beneath the horizon, eager to push the night away. Such a passionate red reflects the soul of the Cantonese: their enthusiasm for life, courage to forge ahead in their careers, and hope for the future.

Vital Green

Through the lens of photographer @Zhang Haobin, the vivid streak of green pushes its way out of the soil, like a just-awakened baby clenching its tiny fists. Such vitality mirrors the drive of the Cantonese: unafraid of the new, decisive in action, and determined to forge ahead once they set their sights on a goal.

Sky Blue

The sea breeze ripples through the azure sky. Through the lens of photographer @Li Minglang, the clear blue sky appears as fresh as if washed with water, and large clusters of clouds are as fluffy as cotton. Such openness and breadth reflect the hearts of the Cantonese: tenderness within their grand vision, and calmness amidst their vigorous pursuits.

Harvest Gold

The rolling rice waves glisten with golden light. From an aerial perspective, photographer @Zhai Jiaxin frames a breathing sea of flowing gold. The Cantonese dislike empty talk when it comes to doing things—just like farming: every step is taken on solid ground, and the harvest always matches the effort put in.

Elegant Purple

That touch of mysterious purple exudes elegance in its tranquility. Photographer @PIXELKAI used their lens to capture the Zhuhai Grand Theater, embodying the grace and romance of the Cantonese: they don't pursue refinement deliberately, yet live their lives in a gentle, enduring way.

Sunset Pink

As dusk deepens, the afterglow scatters like a beautiful ribbon. Through the lens of photographer @Yi Jian, the entire night is wrapped in soft pink, making the city feel both secure and comfortable. This mirrors the tenderness of the Cantonese: quietly and warmly comforting in just the right way.

Vibrant Black

The night hides countless stars. Through the lens of photographer @Li Minglang, the golden full moon and the colorful lights of Canton Tower shine upon one another, making the quiet night extraordinarily brilliant. Unbound by rigid traditions and open to new experiences, the Cantonese embrace all with an inclusive spirit; the more open they are, the more wonderful life becomes.

The land of Lingnan is a flowing scroll of colors. From the enthusiastic red to the vibrant black, and from the vital green to the sunset pink, these seven shades weave together the day and night of Guangdong, reflecting the vivid texture of Lingnan's culture and people. Let’s light up each poster with our hearts and experience the uplifting, diverse, and inclusive charm of Lingnan.
