Evening Cruise on Xin'an River
Originating from Huaiyu Mountain the Xin'an River was regarded as the"Mother River"of ancient Huizhou (today's Xidi and Hongcun areas), which was very famous for its flourishing business in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During that period, streets there were filled with prudent merchants from around the country. The river has a long history and it has nourished the local culture for centuries. The evening cruise on the river is one of the highlights offered here.
In the evening, both the banks are colorfully lit accompanied, occasionally, by the bright moon hanging in the sky. Full of passengers the beautifully decorated pleasure boats, luxurious stylish double-decked yachts and speed boats shuttle to and fro on the river, like playing happy melodies all together.
Xin'an River is characterized by clear water, cool breeze and mystical mist which veils the river even during the clean summer nights. Water in the river keeps a constant temperature of 14 centigrade.
The section from Laoda Bridge to the Suspended Bridge is one of the evening cruise highlights.
Along your way, you will enjoy the brightly coloured city scenery on the river banks, feel the cool breeze off of that river and view the mist-capped river scenery.
