"Beijingers are enjoying a warm evening by the Liangma River," said British photographer Bruce Connolly in a post in his WeChat Moments, expressing his affection for the city.

Years ago, the Liangma River was a quiet and secluded waterway that had largely faded from public attention. Today, boats constantly glide on the river while the banks are colorfully illuminated. People come here to take boat rides, stroll along the waterfront, and enjoy the evening breeze. It is a place where summer nights become even more relaxing and enjoyable.

This time, let's discover the charm of the Liangma River on a summer evening through the photos taken by Bruce.

A happy afternoon on the river
