What to expect

Coming to Guangzhou and want to quickly experience the beauty of this city in a short time? Then a night cruise on the Pearl River is definitely the best choice! The Pearl River includes tributaries such as the East River, West River, and North River, converging in the Guangzhou section. As night falls, the dazzling lights on both banks reflect on the river, and the shimmering colors ripple with the river, creating a very charming scene. Start your journey from Haixinsha Wharf and embrace a wonderful night. Cruising along the river, you can admire famous attractions such as Zhujiang Danxin and Canton Tower, as well as many cultural and historical sites like Nanfang Building, Aiqun Building, Guangzhou Hotel, Huaxia Hotel, Jiangwan Hotel, Ersha Haizhu Square Garden, and Shamian European-style buildings, giving you a panoramic view of Guangzhou's urban beauty. The 70-minute cruise offers choices of first and second floors, as well as VIP open-air top-deck seats, making the journey incredibly comfortable!

Review for: Themed Cruise

I almost ended not showing up as I was still at Canton Tower APM station 5 mins before the call time. Thankfully, the staffs are very helpful to let me join the tour even if I am already late for 10 mins. The tour was amazing, we cruise for an hour at the Pearl River. They also gave us a complimentary snack. Overall, I enjoyed the night river views and got my money's worth.

After picking up the ticket at the pier, I waited to get on the boat. The seats on the second floor were beautiful and I could see all the night views. It was a good experience, and there were also small cookies to eat.

Review for: Themed Cruise

Go to the Zhongda Wharf... I almost missed it. The product details page says Canton Tower, but ignore that. It was so great. I almost missed it, so it'll be an even more memorable trip. Haha. Everyone should ride it at least once. Haha.

Review for: New type of cruise ship

night views were very nice esp the light up of canton tower. cruise was crowded and noisy on the upper deck cos there were groups of foreigners from various countries which were talking loudly amongst themselves and also others who were on video calls at their loudest possible voices. can’t enjoy any peace n quietness at all even tho night views were very nice. perhaps there shd be some staff or signage that can inform passengers to keep their volumes down as i think this is basic civic mindedness and minimum consideration that people should have at public places.
