The traditional Spring Festival Flower Fair in China's southern city of Guangzhou has begun. This year, 11 city districts have their own flower fair. Guangzhou is expected to welcome about 2.6 million tourists to the main event in the first three days, a new record high. The New Year light show also started at the Guangzhou Tower. This iconic building stands at the central axis of the city. Its lights are coordinated to change to the live music from the nearby Flower City Plaza. The tower's light show marks the start of the official new year festival in Guangzhou.
