LIZHI WAN CANAL


known to be the venice of guangzhou, lizhi wan channel is a recently upgraded linear landscape park located at the liwan hu district. Chinese Gondola inspired boats traverse the 743 meter long channel that leads to liwan lake. I was able to go here with my fellow camera club members for a night photography session. 


















guangzhou opera house


Designed by one of my favorite woman architect Zaha Hadid, the Guangzhou Opera House is a stunning architecture that sits pompously at the heart of Guangzhou and opens to the Pearl River.The design is greatly influenced by the river valleys and the natural landscape.The famous "double pebble" concept tells the story of the two massive boulders that go through the process of erosion;an interplay between architecture and landscape.The whole project took about 5 years to finish and has now become one of Guangzhou's most celebrated architectural wonders. I have always wanted to capture this building with my lens and I finally did.
