It is different to see the night view of Guangzhou on the shore and on the land. I originally had this idea because I was late that day. I didn’t plan to take a boat. I walked along the river. Later, I found that there was a ticket on the first floor. It was really beautiful. In fact, just look at the way to go. You can go back to the cabin to rest. In addition, the first floor can be on the second and third floors, so the difference is not big.
The service is very good, Trip.com There is information at any time, and there is a waiter to guide the ticket collection at the pier. There are four ticket gates, well managed and not panicked. When I arrived on the boat, I was lucky to have a table for four people, relying on the boat, giving milk tea and a small bag of peanuts. The taste is OK, don't ask too much. The itinerary is about an hour, there is a commentator about explaining, taking pictures and taking photos for 30 yuan, there is a face change and writing and painting performance on the second floor, did not go to see, it is estimated that it will be sold. The whole trip is slow, not dizzy, the river breeze is still a bit cold at night, you have to wear thicker.
During the Spring Festival holiday, a family of three is on vacation in Guangzhou, how can there be less Pearl River night tours. Check the Raiders, there are multiple piers with Pearl River night tour services, group purchase is close to the hotel, convenient Xiti pier, group purchase window is very convenient to pick up tickets. The lights on both sides of the Pearl River in the night are shining, the White Swan Hotel, the Concert Hall, the Grand Presidential Palace, the Pearl River New Town, the "small waist", and the eyes are not connected. The best thing is the bridge across the Pearl River in different eras. The style is different, such as a jade belt, pillowed across the Pearl River. The warm and wet river breeze blows on the face, and people feel drunk. A little suggestion, the broadcast of the boat to explain the attractions, can not hear clearly on the deck, hope to improve.
