The ultimate night tour in Hangzhou! The Grand Canal at night is 10 times more beautiful than during the day!

Who would have thought Hangzhou’s nights could be this amazing! The night tour route of the Grand Canal is so romantic it makes you want to fall in love~ First, go to Wulinmen Pier to take a cruise (100 RMB/person), departing at 7 PM. The boat moves slowly, and the lights on both sides create a great atmosphere. The ancient-style buildings lit up make you feel like you’ve traveled back in time! Get off the boat at Gongchen Bridge, then walk around the Gongchen Bridge West Historic and Cultural District. There aren’t many people at night, and the small shops along the street are very unique, selling handmade crafts and coffee. When you get tired of walking, sit down for a drink and enjoy the river breeze—it’s so relaxing~ Key point! You must take photos of Gongchen Bridge at night! Stand by the bridge, capture the full view with the lights—it will make your social media legendary! Tips: Buy your cruise tickets online in advance (no need to queue), wear a light jacket (it’s a bit chilly at night), and bring a small camera for clearer night shots~
