Abstract

Guangzhou, as a famous cultural city with rich history of opening to the outside world, has experienced many changes in its urban landscape. From the appearance of the city to the meaning of the landscape inside, Guangzhou landscape shows the other and the gaze in the earth in the context of globalization from the perspective of documentary reality and fiction of drama. Since the new century, Chinese films have presented their Lingnan characteristics and increasingly converging urban culture. The constructed landscape society conveys a deep logic of urban life from the perspective of film.
