Highly recommended night cruise for those who are in Guangzhou. The ferry was easily accessible via didi ride. very easy to redeem the ticket on site with very clear directional signages. ferry depart punctually on time. the whole ride is about 80 mins long. recommended to take the 3rd floor open deck for the fantastic view and cooling and windy weather.

Incredible views, especially if you go on the Ferris wheel. It was a little scary, but the view is spectacular, especially at night when the whole city sparkles! If you have a stroller, you can bring it up, but you'll need to leave it before entering the fair. Access is relatively easy. Before entering, there are ticket booths, including electronic kiosks where you enter your Klook reservation number to print your tickets.
