The views from this tour...

Published on Feb, 2025

The views from this tour are amazing. Albert our guide was very informative and knowledgeable of the are and the scenery. The driver was also helpful getting us picking up and dropping off at each leg if the trip. If your taking the cruise in the winter, make sure to bring the jacket. Very windy and cold. If you want amazing pics if the night lights that make Chongqing famous, you need to take this cruise. Thanks Albert X and driver.

Great River Boat ride with spetacular lighted buldings downtown

Published on Jan, 2024

Once again China never fails to impress with the best. The boat tour and lights are nothing like anything else in my opinion. Yes LasVega has many lights, however if you want a fun, safe beautiful place to visit the 45 minute tour is great! Start at the top of the 7+ story complex and prepare to be among hundred of toursists mostly from Asia. The tour ranges from 100-200 RMB so shop around. The boat is clean and has restrooms, and drinks (Cash bar). There is a VIP area on the top of the boat for an extra 50 RMB, but for $7usd the fruit tray not my thing. However you get to board early. Plan to take lots of video as the photos don't show the same. The food is good in the complex but not much to eat on the boat but fruit. If your in the area of the boat ride on the river be sure to walk the 15 minute route to "central" plaza with many high end stores. There is also a nice hotel within the complex with rooms that oversee the river. Just a heads up that night is the best and during the day smog is common.

Lights galore, and cold wind

Published on Dec, 2023

I boarded the Yangtze River Cruise, one hour, near the Hongyadong, so it really was an amazing experience. I love the cold wind, the lights and you could see so many of the beautifully lit buildings, Chaotianmen (or Raffles city)... Definitely worth the experience. Just watch out for the crowd, coz there are many waiting for the lift, so finally many ended walking down the stairs. Do get the tickets early and board the ship so you have a good seat and good view

Get on board - really great

Published on Nov, 2023

Booked by our personal guide - so did just the night cruise. Worth the price of ticket. Guide was worried we may have to wait in line for an hour as it is usually packed but we were lucky, only waited 10 minutes to board. Go for the VIP lounge if you can once on board - only extra RMB80pp (pay on board) and you have a less crowed space and some refreshment. Really great night view with all the lights on the buildings and the bridges. Get out the bug spray beforehand - not a major but got bitten on the legs quite badly - my bad luck. Hubby was fine.
