Sparkling Pearl River at Night in Guangzhou

After an hour drive by bus from Nansha where we had APCCAL Expo 2011, finally we could reach the pier in Guangzhou. The scenery from the pier was very beautiful, so many boats with colorful lights were going through the Pearl river which was the third largest river in China. It's already very late for dinner, so we didn't have enough time to take pictures from the edge of the river.



Entering the cruise we welcome by four beautiful young girls in lovely white dress playing western music with violins. With three decks in total, the ship can hold 250 visitors. The first floor featured a coffee house and a small ballroom provided buffet dining. They also provided red wine in each table to accompany the meal. Because we were starving, we started to take meal without waiting for any further instruction.


The boat starting to sail after all of us finished eating. The cities at both sides of the river were very illuminated with colorful lights which made the scenery more magnificent. Some bridges were also decorated beautifully with the twinkle lights. After having dinner all of us were spreading out of the boat, busy taking pictures.


A Chinese style banquet hall on the second floor of the boat, there were also 4 beautiful girls with traditional Chinese red costume playing traditional music to entertain the passenger who ate on the second floor. A sightseeing platform on the third floor were attracted some of my friends to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. The night cruise is even more fascinating under the sparkling lights, some of the lights were reflected on the river.


Views along the Pearl River in Guangzhou City were charming and gentle. Historical sites and unique architecture scattered along the Pearl River were numerous and were a goodly reflection of the Guangzhou culture. It took around two hours for the cruise trip, it's a good option for you to enjoy the night scenery when you visit Guangzhou.
