We all know that the Guangzhou Tower is the symbol of Guangzhou, so the Guangzhou Tower must not be missed when you come to Guangzhou.

The Guangzhou Tower has a graceful figure and gives tourists from other places a distinctive image. Therefore, when you come to Guangzhou, you must come to the Guangzhou Tower to climb the mountain and have a long view and enjoy the city scenery of Guangzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that if you didn't visit the Guangzhou Tower, you would have wasted your trip to Guangzhou.

When we came to Guangzhou Tower during the National Day, the crowd was naturally more than usual, but the queue to buy tickets was quite smooth. We bought the set ticket at the River Tower Tour Ticket Office on the first floor of the Guangzhou Tower, next to the Xideng Tower Entrance, which is very convenient.

We enter from the entrance of Xideng Tower, and the bright hall inside will excite you immediately. Imagine the upcoming journey to the cloud, and then look at the model of Guangzhou's new central axis to give you a deeper understanding of Guangzhou.

The Guangzhou Tower is located in the center of Guangzhou City, at the intersection of the city's new central axis and the Pearl River landscape axis. It faces Haixinsha Island and Zhujiang New City in the 21st Century CBD District of Guangzhou City across the river. It is the tallest tower in China and the third tallest tower in the world.

There are still quite a lot of people queuing during the National Day, but because the Guangzhou Tower has a total of 6 high-speed elevators, 4 elevators can accommodate 48 passengers at a time, there are still many tourists that can be transported at a time, and the waiting time will not be too long.

It takes about a minute to climb to the cloud. This is probably something you have never thought of. The most important thing is that the sightseeing ladder is still transparent at this height. We can hold our mobile phones while recording the shocking scenery outside.

In addition to the sightseeing areas we mainly visit today, there are many delicious and fun places in the Guangzhou Tower. There is a cinema and a popular science tour hall in the Guangzhou Tower. In addition to sightseeing and entertainment, you can also taste delicious food at the restaurants in the Guangzhou Tower. There are Lutes French Revolving Restaurant, Huiyuexuan Chinese Restaurant, Xuanji Mediterranean Buffet Restaurant, Chopsticks Club Restaurant, Sky Bar, etc. You can slowly enjoy the good times in these places.

If the buildings in Zhujiang New City seem to have hundreds of flowers blooming, then the East Tower is a handsome young man. His face is handsome and simply handsome. Then we came to the Star Sightseeing Hall and Baiyun Sightseeing Hall of the Guangzhou Tower, where we could follow the instructions and savor the beautiful scenery of Guangzhou.

The 107th floor Baiyun Sightseeing Hall takes us back to the most primitive blue scenery, like a sky city in a fairy tale world. At this moment, you can have a panoramic view of urban buildings and beautiful scenery along the Pearl River along the new central axis.

Let me take you to the most spectacular and beautiful viewing platform of the Guangzhou Tower. The most unexpected thing is that there is also a Ferris wheel around the viewing platform!

The world's tallest horizontal Ferris wheel, with a detailed view of the 360-degree Pearl River scenery, the most romantic place in the city is probably here! The Ferris Wheel has 16 "crystal" sightseeing ball cabins that slowly rotate around the tilted oval top. You can see the most complete and beautiful scenery in Guangzhou.

Next, let us sit in and feel it.

The Ferris wheel can be said to be completely transparent and can accommodate 6 people at a time. Don't be afraid when the cabin door opens. When you walk in, you will feel like you are in the air.

Each sightseeing capsule has a diameter of 3.2 meters and can "hold" 4 to 6 passengers; the capsule shell is made of new polymer materials, which is crystal clear, allowing you to see clearly.

If you choose to come in rainy weather, you will even see the clouds fluttering around you. It is very beautiful, and Guangzhou can also turn into a fairyland.

In fact, there is a more exciting project in the Guangzhou Tower, which is high-altitude rapid descent. The Guangzhou Tower downhill seat is the real choice for super brave people to challenge the limits of high altitude and experience exciting amusement! Free fall for 30 meters at an altitude of 484 meters brings the ultimate crazy fun experience and challenges your psychological limits!

In addition to seeing the Pearl River New City and the bustling urban scene in the distance, our nearest landscape is an ancient tower. Chigang Tower is located at Xinshitou, southeast of the Guangzhou Bridge. It is one of the existing ancient towers in Guangzhou City. It is located in Chigang, hence the name. Founded in 1619 in the 47th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, it is the third "Fengshui Pagoda" built after Pazhou Pagoda and Lotus Pagoda

You can also see a very beautiful bridge on the Pearl River. It is the Liede Bridge. The scale of the Liede Bridge adopts a stable and feminine design method to avoid overtaking the lead with other more magnificent and powerful landmark buildings in the surrounding area.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery in the two halls of the Guangzhou Tower, we were all hungry and our friends were thinking about where to go for dinner. In fact, there is a good dining place under the Guangzhou Tower. It focuses on Cantonese specialties. Friends who want to eat authentic snacks should not miss it.

Gold Medal Shrimp Dumpling King and Ming Shrimp and Crab Seed Shaomai are both famous noodle delicacies in Cantonese cuisine. As a senior foodie, my first staple foods are rice rolls and fried beef river, which taste good.

The golden durian crisp makes people craving it.

After visiting the Guangzhou Tower, we will of course experience the soft night of the Pearl River. The lights on both sides of the Taiwan Strait add a lot of color to this journey. The Fortune Pier under the Guangzhou Tower is the next point for our cruise ship. If we board the boat here, we will first drive to the north gate of Sun Yat-sen University. On the right side is Ersha Island, which can be seen from Xinghai Concert Hall and other buildings.


Although there are many people on National Day, the boarding speed is still very fast because there is a smart ticket checking system, which is still very convenient.


Seeing the scenery from Fortune Wharf is more intuitive. In addition to the tall Guangzhou Tower, looking at Pearl River New City from the river will look even more perfect.


After boarding the boat, I realized that the interior of the cruise ship was so spacious, and the tables and chairs were neatly placed.

Although the Pearl River night tour is already a very classic event, the cruise ship still looks very new and has good lighting. It is surrounded by large areas of falling windows, making it convenient for you to watch the night view outside.

In order to get a better view, we went to the outdoor deck on the top floor, where some snacks were also sold. While looking at the beautiful night view and blowing in the gentle river breeze, everything became very warm and soft.

If you don't visit the cultural and historical sites along the Pearl River, you can say that you have never really visited Guangzhou. The cultural and historical sites along the Pearl River can be visited both day and night. From west to east, the Pearl River is like a sightseeing corridor in Guangzhou. At night, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery with bright lights on both sides.

We can see the very beautiful peony pattern appearing on the projection on the Guangzhou Media Port, and the blue spotlights also make the building more charming.

If you are on the third deck, you can look around and say that you can see the beautiful scenery without dead corners, and you are truly in the river scenery.

The third floor is an unobstructed outdoor sightseeing platform with an open-air bar, which is very suitable for sightseeing and taking photos, allowing you to experience the fun of flying between Tianshui and Water in 360 degrees.

The lighting of the East Tower is mainly silver-white, and the entire top of the tower is lined with streamlines, adopting a zigzag design and divided into three different styles of lighting to outline the outline of the East Tower.

Some people say that Xinghai Concert Hall is like a swan about to fly by the river. It is located on the beautiful Ersha Island on the bank of the Pearl River. Its high-pitched eaves and peculiar appearance is full of modernity, like a swan about to fly by the river., integrated with the blue sky and clear water, forming a magnificent scenery. This building, which has been in Guangzhou for some years, still seems to be charming.

After seeing the beautiful scenery outside, the wonderful Sichuan Opera face-changing event has begun indoors. Friends who like to watch the performance should quickly prepare your camera!

During the return journey, you must have seen many buildings before. We can come to the first floor of the cabin at this time. There is a very wonderful Peking Opera performance in this location. Every ship has such a program regularly.

Now the boat has swam near Haixinsha. This hulk-like building is the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games. Together with other buildings in Zhujiang New City that borrow a large number of river-sea related things, it forms a series of dynamic spaces, implying the theme of "Jiang-sea Sports". The Liede Bridge not far away echoes landmark buildings such as the Guangzhou Tower and the Opera House, making the entire river shine.

Finally, the cruise ship will pass by Padi, where you can see some old factories that have been decorated with glory. The former brewery has now become the most famous bar street in Guangzhou. How much joy is there?

At this time, the moon has also climbed into the sky. I am afraid that there are not many such beautiful nights in the country. If you feel that this night tour of the Pearl River is not enough, I would like to recommend you to come to Haixinsha's Boat Festival. Here, you will encounter an unparalleled show.


We originally thought that the Pearl River Red Boat was an ordinary performance, but we were actually guided to the stern and stood with the seats closed. This was completely unlike a regular performance. What surprises are waiting for us next?

Different from the existing Pearl River cruise ships, the Pearl River Red Boat is also a mobile theater. During the voyage, it tells a love story of "drama is like life, life is like drama". While interpreting Guangzhou's profound humanistic history, it provides the audience with dynamic, multi-point and interactive viewing experience, allowing the audience to gain unique and memorable novel experiences that cannot be enjoyed at all on other cruise ships and theaters.

This ship, which is 52 meters long, 15 meters wide and 8.4 meters above the water, looks like a pavilion floating on the water from the outside. It cleverly penetrates and integrates the cultural elements of Lingnan Cantonese opera, draws on Lingnan classic architectural decoration, and details. The design has far-reaching meaning.

Different from the existing Pearl River cruise ships, the Pearl River Red Boat is also a mobile theater. During the voyage, it tells a love story of "drama is like life, life is like drama". While interpreting Guangzhou's profound humanistic history, it provides the audience with dynamic, multi-point and interactive viewing experience, allowing the audience to gain unique and memorable novel experiences that cannot be enjoyed at all on other cruise ships and theaters.

The Pearl River Red Boat is not just an ordinary Pearl River cruise ship with a beautiful appearance. It subverts the layout concept of traditional ships. It is equipped with theater-level complex stage equipment and can be moved and rotated. For the first time, a theater has been miniaturized into an inland river tour ship.

The performing arts theater inside the ship is completely different from the existing Pearl River cruise ships and all domestic and foreign tourist theaters. Before the play starts, you will think you are in a beautiful theater, but when the stage continues to change, you will be surprised by the power of technology.

The audience will board the Pearl River Red Boat and travel to Guangzhou City a century ago. They will be in real scenes such as the magnificent mansion of a wealthy businessman in Xiguan and the backstage stage of a Cantonese opera theater with ancestral costumes hanging. They will be surrounded by red boat disciples, rich maids, journalists and other figures from a century ago. The main characters such as Miss Xiguan, Cantonese opera Hua Dan and Xiaosheng are within reach.

In traditional theaters, the content of the auditorium and stage is fixed, but the stage inside the Pearl River Red Boat is mobile. Any place can be a stage, and any place can be an audience. All the audience's sensory dispatch comes from a 360-degree close-up viewing with no dead spots. Perhaps they are looking directly at one second and need to look up the next, or they are placed into a re-segmented and synthesized space, and their whole body is devoted to a drama. suspense, 3D stimulation come in a spectacular environment.

In order to meet the circulation space of interactive performances, the interior of the Pearl River Red Boat adopts a hollow and fully connected design. Through stages, partitions and other devices, the space inside the boat is divided into 4 scenes, each scene has a protagonist's clue and plot.

At this time, the actor was less than a meter away from her. The stage lights changed, making her feel like she was a person in the drama.



We entered different spaces inside the ship according to our respective ticket tickets and watched different interpretations. As the plot progresses, the partitions will unfold and hide, and the stage will move forward and backward. As these mechanical devices are activated, the four spaces will undergo different transformations and combinations, and finally merge into one. Four groups of audiences followed different routes and finally gathered in one space. While watching the play, my scattered friends and I met in the play. This feeling was really wonderful.

Although each group of viewers sees different clues, they will not affect their understanding of the plot. This depends on the theater's unique sound source and the full three-dimensional image array. The Pearl River Red Boat adopts a holographic projection method, which not only generates three-dimensional aerial illusions, but also allows the illusions to interact with the performers, presenting a shocking performance effect.

A very big feature of such immersive performances is that the actors and props are very close to you, as if he were your tour guide, making you feel as if you were at the scene rather than on a boat.


Even those who don't understand the connotation of the performance can actually have a general understanding of the story of "Boat Talk" through the subtitles everywhere.



Unexpectedly, you can feel such a huge change on the stage inside the ship. As the audience, we also stood from a spectator angle throughout the journey. There are areas upstairs and downstairs, and even in the sky that tourists can watch. Even this area can rise, rotate, and fly in translation... Looking at the exquisite drama in front of you, and sighing at this extraordinary technological stage, this red boat is really amazing!

Sea Heart Sand Red Boat, Mobile Theater on the Pearl River

Sea Heart Sand Red Boat, Mobile Theater on the Pearl River

It is estimated that when it will become the next online celebrity check-in point. In the past, night tours in the Pearl River just sat quietly. This red boat with sound, light and dance beauty is worth experiencing. There are also many young people on board. Come and see.


The love and hate of the Cantonese opera actors continued to play out. Actors in vests began to guide the audience to the second floor. At this time, waves appeared on the ground on the first floor, and the actors seemed to be in the middle of the water. The rocker arm rises, and the inner world of the male protagonist is vividly expressed in the man-machine dance.

When the protagonist slowly stood up wearing colorful clothes, it was so amazing that it made people express heartfelt admiration.

The Pearl River Red Boat is a brand-new cruise ship tailored for the drama "Boat Talk". There has never been any precedent in the world. In order to achieve the best sightseeing performance effect in the shipboard environment, the design team has made great efforts in technical design and achieved various innovations in the field of ship design and construction.

"Dear viewers, please follow me into the theater." Many audiences were still immersed in the performance and did not realize that there was a woman in costumes waiting behind them. They guided the audience to move to another space to watch. "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats." At this time, the background board on the first floor began to move, and the audience was surprised to find that there was a small theater behind the original stage.

The red boat is the symbol of Cantonese opera. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, during the most prosperous era of Cantonese opera, Cantonese opera troupes used red boats as a means of transportation to travel around four townships in the Pearl River Delta waters and perform on shore. They were extremely prosperous.

The "Play within the Play" we watched "The Moon Flowers", a pure Cantonese opera, is the climax of "The Boat Talk", which lasts for 14 minutes. The actor's beautiful figure and wonderful singing made the audience fascinated. It introduces the lingering love story between three legendary women and Cantonese opera young students in the early years of the Republic of China. Around the plot, we keep moving our footsteps, and all this seems to be happening around us.

After the wonderful performance, the curtain on the window was wide open. The audience instantly returned to modern times from a century ago and enjoyed the dazzling night view of the Pearl River outside the window. Only then did the audience return to reality. We had been watching the drama before. Still on the Pearl River.

After watching the Cantonese opera, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Pearl River, which is "an extraordinary enjoyment."

After the performance, we can also take photos with various actors dressed in fancy costumes. When you see the costumes of Cantonese opera up close, you will be shocked.

I believe that this Pearl River Red Boat, which combines unique exterior design, novel stage equipment, and diversified performance forms, will surely allow every audience boarding the boat to have an unprecedented sensory experience and leave unforgettable memories for a lifetime!

"Boat Talks" not only tells the story in the play, but also uses various high-tech means to make the stage very dreamy, allowing more people to want to understand Cantonese opera through "Boat Talks" and go to the theater to watch Cantonese opera. While retaining intangible cultural heritage, people can also enjoy the night view of Guangzhou. The past and the present are so perfectly connected. Isn't it amazing?
