It's not just a visual feast but a cultural journey through Guangzhou's past and present, letting you feel the unique charm of this millennia-old commercial city in the river breeze.

There are 3 distinctive piers to choose from, so you can pick the perfect spot to admire Guangzhou's stunning night views, taking in both historical buildings and modern landmarks. Our exclusive open-air deck seats offer unparalleled views, ideal for visitors wanting to fully immerse themselves in the iconic Pearl River scenery.

Routes are generally divided into East Route, West Route, and Full East-West Route. Most regular sailings follow the East Route, heading towards Canton Tower and Haixinsha. The best viewing time is 7-9 PM, when Guangzhou is lit up in all its glory, offering the most spectacular views.
