Yangcheng Evening News reporter Fu Chang, intern Huang Ziqing, and correspondent Cao Yichun reported: On August 10, the 2024 "Yuan Man Zhujiang" Han-style collective wedding co-organized by the Tianhe District Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports Bureau of Guangzhou and Guangzhou Tower Tourism and Culture Development Co., Ltd. was grandly held at Haixin Bridge, with 14 couples participating.

At 9:50 a.m., 14 couples dressed in traditional wedding attire came in a leisurely procession. The grooms went up the bridge from the north side of the bridge, and the brides went up the bridge from the south side of the bridge. They met in the middle of the bridge, realizing the meaningful "Magpie Bridge Meeting". The couples completed various ceremonies in turn.

"I am very happy that the organizers gave us this opportunity and gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience, which left us with many precious memories and no regrets," said participant Ms. Sun.

Citizens along the Pearl River witnessed this beautiful and romantic moment. Aunt Li, a citizen, said that this was her first time to participate in such a large-scale Han-style wedding, and she was both happy and relieved.

According to reports, the event will be held at the cultural landmarks of Guangzhou, such as Haixin Sand Beach, Haixin Bridge, and Guangzhou Tower. Haixin Bridge may become a "new magpie bridge" with unique Lingnan characteristics. According to the relevant person in charge of the organizer, on the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day, all the newlyweds will also serve as "new wedding customs envoys" to attend the launching ceremony of the "Our Festival·Chinese Valentine's Day" themed cultural event at Zhucun Chinese Valentine's Day Square.
