As the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting unfolds in Guangzhou this week, Guangdong Province is blending high-stakes diplomacy with dazzling Lunar New Year celebrations! 🎇 From February 1-10, the region is hosting APEC senior officials while showcasing its cultural soul through lantern festivals, Uygur dance performances, and AI-powered light installations. 🖼️
This year’s theme? ‘Shared Future, Brighter Together’ – embodied by a showstopping ‘APEC Partners’ lantern display that merges 500-year-old craft techniques with holographic projections. 💡 Locals and delegates alike are snapping selfies with dragon-shaped floats inspired by maritime trade history. 🐉🌊
Pro tip for travelers: Night markets near the Pearl River are serving lychee-infused tangyuan (sweet dumplings) alongside VR tours of ancient silk routes. 🥟🔮 As one student attendee told us: ‘It’s like TikTok meets time travel!’ 📲⏳
