The tour included enjoying Guangzhou's famous tourist attractions and sampling Cantonese delicacies. It culminated with a Cantonese Opera-themed boat cruise, where the guests were treated to an opera performance which included a fun interactive session afterwards.

"The performance was amazing and the stage background and settings were innovative," said Krzysztof Gierat, president of Krakow Film Festival. He added it was not the first time for him to visit Guangzhou but the tour did leave him great memories.

Held by the information office of the people's government of Guangzhou, "Guangzhou Night" has become a highlight of GZDOC and a great occasion to showcase the city.
