Night Cruise on the Jinjiang River Jinjiang Night Cruise

Chengdu is like two different cities by day and by night. Take a boat ride to see the night view of the Jinjiang River, where lights and shadows are reflected on the water’s surface, and the lights of Lan Kwai Fong blend with the ancient charm of Hejiang Pavilion—this is the quintessential way to experience Chengdu’s nightlife.
