Part of panoramic view of the expansive and densely populated city of Guangzhou, with the Zhu Jiang River, also known as the Pearl or Canton River, visible on the center right area of the image. A two-story, colonial-style building and its surrounding garden can be seen in the center. The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, still under construction and lacking its twin spires, is visible in the distance on the center left area of the image.
