The Haihe River in Tianjin was illuminated with a dazzling light show ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit from August 31 to September 1. The dynamic light display turned buildings, bridges, and piers along the river into a sweeping nightscape scroll, telling stories of China and the world throughout history and into the future.

Landmarks and cultural icons from the SCO member states were displayed in illuminated visuals, symbolizing nations working together for shared development and a brighter future.

The light show has become a regular feature since August 19.
