Come to Haixinsha, don't miss the Red Boat, Haixin Pavilion, and Haixin Bridge
Haixinsha East Wharf (also known as Haixinsha Red Boat Wharf, Boat Story. Haixinsha Wharf) is an important legacy of the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, serving as the docking wharf for the Asian Games flower boat parade. The Haixinsha East Wharf boasts beautiful scenery and complete facilities, mainly accommodating large luxury Pearl River cruise ships and the Pearl River Red Boat, providing Pearl River cruises, tourism theater, and conference and exhibition services.
The Red Boat is a symbol of Cantonese opera, which flourished in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Cantonese opera troupes used the Red Boat as a means of transportation, traveling through the waters of the Pearl River Delta, docking, and performing to great acclaim. 'Boat Story' tells the tale of a Red Boat opera troupe from a century ago. The show lasts 45 minutes and integrates various art forms such as opera, drama, dance, music, and acrobatics. Characters like the Western District Lady, the young man Qiu Ge, the Cantonese opera lead actress, and the Red Boat disciples all make their appearance on the Pearl River Red Boat, taking visitors back a hundred years to experience the dramatic lives of the Cantonese opera performers of the Red Boat opera troupe.

Haixinsha, is a small island on the main channel of the Pearl River on the central axis of Guangzhou New City Center. Before the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, it was just a nondescript sedimentary land. It was transformed into an ocean boat due to the shape of the island. At the Asian Games, it turned into the main venue for the opening ceremony. The pavilion, with the surrounding Guangzhou Tower, Liede Bridge together constitute a beautiful picture.
