On the evening of August 22, an aerial view captured the Haihe River nightscape light show. Recently, Tianjin’s “Night of Haihe River” light show has been updated, featuring three major themes—”Jin Bell Show,” “Jin Gate Show,” and “Jin Eye Show”—displaying a variety of motifs from desert camel bells to cosmic starscapes. Through light and shadow, it tells stories of China and the world, history and the future. The 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit will be held in Tianjin from August 31 to September 1. This will be the fifth time China has hosted the SCO Summit and the largest since the organization’s establishment. Leaders from over 20 countries and heads of 10 international organizations will gather by the Haihe River. (Drone photo)

Haihe River

The Haihe River is a major waterway in northern China, historically formed through centuries of canal construction to connect five smaller rivers and drain the North China Plain. It flows through Tianjin, a key port city, and has been a vital artery for trade, transportation, and flood control for the region since the Ming and Qing dynasties.
