As dusk falls, the Canal Business District of BMC enters its most enchanting moment of the day. The golden glow of the evening sun spills across the Grand Canal, where the gentle flow of water shimmers like scattered gold. The surface becomes a flowing mirror, reflecting a symphony of past and present on both banks—to the left, the Tongzhou Randeng Pagoda stands solemn and tall; to the right, modern skyscrapers catch the glow of the sunset. The sharp lines of contemporary architecture echo the austere elegance of the ancient tower, composing a majestic harmony across time.
