The legend has it that when the heavenly weaving maid descended to the world and bathed in a pool, a cowherd hid her dress but was trapped, so they met and fell in love with each other. After they were married, they had two children – a boy and a girl. But the Queen of Heaven was upset. She retrieved the maid and even drew a line in the sky with a hairpin, which became a raging river (Milky Way) blocking the cowherd (Altair) from chasing the weaving maid (Vega). Afterwards, they were only allowed to be reunited on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month each year; hence the traditional Chinese festival Double Seventh Day. The festival was inscribed on China's National Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2006.

In 214 B.C., Qin Shi Huang (First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty) ordered General Ren Xiao to lead troops on an expedition to unify the southern regions. The triumphant troops then constructed a city in present-day Panyu area, which was documented as the beginning of the history of Guangzhou. Historically, Guangzhou was an important part of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, while in modern days, it is a pilot in China's reform and opening-up policie, and it serves as the host city of the 16th Asian Games. For a millennium, the graceful Pearl River has nourished this old yet vigorous city. When night falls, illuminated by the glittering neon lights on both banks, the river looks even more charming.
