Is the Chongqing Liangjiang Cruise worth taking?
As is well known, Chongqing is a magical 8D city. During the day, people climb slopes and take photos at various popular spots, experiencing its three-dimensional space. However, if you don't enjoy the night view, the legendary 8D magical experience will be at least halved.
"If you haven't seen the night view, you haven't been to Chongqing," this is not an unfounded slogan, but a sincere exclamation from many people captivated by Chongqing's night scene.
The best choice to enjoy the night view of the two rivers is undoubtedly taking the Chongqing Liangjiang Cruise. As night falls, the neon lights along the banks of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers light up one by one, and the cruise ship sails between the two rivers.
The stilted buildings of Hongya Cave are stacked layer upon layer, dazzling with colors; the red Qiansimen Bridge's lights dim and brighten with the rhythm of breathing; every few minutes, you can see the light rail shuttling through the belly of the bridge; the night view of the Grand Theatre is orderly and its contours are clear; the Raffles City building stands tall like a raised sail at Chaotianmen Dock; the Yangtze River cableway carries tourists back and forth overhead; the twin skyscrapers shine golden during the day and sparkle with seven colors at night; on the river, the water police driving speedboats add a dynamic touch to the night scene...
The riverside of the mountain city has a gentle evening breeze; and the night scenery is bright and vivid. How can such a beautiful view not be worth a visit?

Excellent experience to enjoy Chongqing at night. It is really worth it and I fully recommend to do this river trip
The ingenious workmanship of mankind is so stunning and beautiful. I recommend it to everyone. The ingenious workmanship of mankind is so stunning and beautiful. I recommend it to everyone.
A walk on a luxurious ship along the two rivers of Chongqing is an unforgettable experience! It was very pleasant to see the main attractions from the water. The tour organization was top-notch. I especially want to highlight the opportunity to reserve a VIP table for 80 yuan per person - it adds a special charm to the walk. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see the beauty of Chongqing from a new perspective! It's a must-see! Be sure to take this tour, you regret !
Chongqing Two Rivers Tour is the most comfortable and fastest way to explore the prosperous Two Rivers scenery. The boat departs from Chaotianmen where the two rivers meet, passing through Hongyadong, the Grand Theater, Ciyu Temple and other famous attractions. You can tour during the day or at night, and the night tour is more charming.
At dusk, chase the red sun and go to the center of the river to see the shimmering waves dyed red by the setting sun. Before the night falls, rush to a sunset appointment. If you don’t see the night view, you haven’t arrived in Chongqing. At night, Chongqing is gradually waking up, the lights are on, and the whole city is brightly lit. Looking at the four banks from the two rivers, it seems like being in the embrace of neon. Going up the river, it’s like swimming in the brilliant starry river. The reflections of the winding and undulating buildings fall into the water. The lights of thousands of houses gather into a river world, all in the two rivers.
Night cruise ships have nine wharfs, each docking cruise ships are different, fares are also different, we bought a face value of 158 tickets, because we live in Yubei District, far away, looking for travel agencies to pick up and deliver a total of 100 yuan, rather than according to the fare, I heard that this 158 tickets on-site purchase seems to be only 780 yuan, it is better to consult in advance before buying. Our ship at wharf 5 is the Queen Kimberley. There are seats on board, but in the morning, the night is gone. The top floor is vip, which requires an additional charge of 60 yuan. It feels unnecessary. There is a free performance on board. We just meet the Evolutionary Face. It's not bad. It's better not to eat anything on board. It's too expensive. A fruit platter costs 48 yuan. About an hour's journey, the night scenery on both sides of the river is still very beautiful, especially near Chaotianmen Wharf and Hongyadong Commercial Street. If you come to Chongqing, you must have a look at the night scenery of Jialing River and Yangtze River. The price is not too expensive, but it is still worth seeing.
Chongqing Two Rivers Night Tour is still highly recommended. I bought the boat ticket on Taobao, the lowest price in history. Locals said it couldn't be so low, 32 yuan per person, (Manjiang Tour) There are many kinds of boats, and the prices are different, but I think there is no need to buy expensive ones, because the scenery is the same anyway! It is recommended to go to the boat early, you can choose an excellent position, about 50 minutes, the night view is really beautiful!
To Chongqing, how can we not take a Two-river cruise ship! ___________ In the ticket bought by Ctrip, the Manjiang Red Cruise Line is 40 persons. It is situated at the Fourth Pier of Jiefangbei River. It takes about 40 minutes to travel along the Jialing River and the Yangtze River. The night scenery of both sides is beautiful. The night scenery of Chongqing is one of Chongqing's business cards. The tall buildings set off by the terrain are more magnificent and excellent.
