On the evening of Nov 18 at precisely 10 pm, the central stage screen at Haixinsha Asian Games Park suddenly turned black and the lights across the venue gradually went out – marking the conclusion of the 2024 Guangzhou International Light Festival.

According to the organizers, this year's festival welcomed nearly 300,000 visitors over its 10-day run, with online engagement reaching an unprecedented 250 million mentions, setting a record.

For the first time, the festival showcased the "Guangzhou Gift" brand, with 13 stands set up – offering nearly 300 types and over 1,000 pieces of Guangzhou-themed cultural and creative products, creating another shopping hotspot.
