Photos for Guangzhou Pearl River Night Cruises

The Pearl River is the convergence of its three  tributaries - Xi Jiang ("West River"), the Bei Jiang ("North River"), and the Dong Jiang ("East River"). These rivers share a common delta, the Pearl River Delta. The Pearl River is China's third longest river, 2,400 km long, after the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Guangzhou Star Cruises Company has about 10 evening cruises on the Pearl River.  The night cruise normally lasts 90 minutes operating between 18:40 and 22:00.  Boats leave from Tianzi Pier (天子码头), Just east of Haizhu Bridge. To get to Tianzi Pier , you may take subway line 2 and get off at the station of Haizhou Square (海珠广场), then walk along the river to the east direction.  Soon you will see Tianzi Pier by the river.

At the ticketing office, you will find about 10 cruise boats with different prices. Personally, I would like to choose Information (信息时报).  Take the Information for example, the first floor costs RMB 80 (fruit and coffee), the second floor RMB140( including buffet dinner ) and the top open air floor RMB128 (fruits,  coffee, snacks ).
