Pearl River night cruise
Pearl River night cruise

Compared with daytime cruises on the Pearl River, night cruises are more attractive. The sparkling lights on both banks of the river and the moon reflecting on its waters create a magical atmosphere. It starts from the White Goose Pool and end at either the Guangzhou Bridge in the east or the Baihedong (White Crane Cave) in the south.

During the two hour cruise every visitor will be entranced by the beauty of the river and sights such as the White Goose Pool, Zhuhai Square, Aiqun Mansion, the Guangzhou Hotel and the European architecture of Shamian Island buildings. The ship also passes under ten famous bridges including Renmin Bridge, Haizhu Bridge, Guangzhou Bridge, and Jiefang Bridge.

Questions & Answers on Night Cruise on the Pearl River
Asked by AH Phang from MALAYSIA | Nov. 10, 2019 00:37Reply
I am staying at Beijing Road. Is it more convenient to go to Tianzi Wharft compared to DaishatWharf?
I will arrive on 16th Dec 7am. Is it advisable to purchase the cruise ticket if I intend to cruise 6.30-8pm on the same day? Perhaps, it's advisable to purchase online prior to my departure?
