Returning regularly to the city more changes were obvious through the mid-90s, with high-rise structures going up in the Tianhe area close to the much-enlarged East Station, which provided regular services to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. However nothing can compare to the stunning contemporary images of a City of Lights stretching along the Pearl River - areas that were simple farming villages a few years back.
