📸🗺️ 观光 = observe + light — touring around to take in the highlights
观 means to observe or watch, 光 means light or brightness. A sightseer is literally someone observing the bright and notable things a place has to offer.
光 — fire 火 (top) + person 儿 (bottom)
Originally a pictograph of a person with fire above their head, depicting a torchbearer or the radiance from a flame. The character evolved to mean 'light' or 'brightness' in general, and by extension 'glory' and 'to shine.' The modern top component is a stylized form of 火 (fire).
