Daytime is the city in fast-forward; nighttime is the Qiantang in slow-motion poetry. Boarding the cruise at Binjiang Wharf, you set sail gently into the night. The neon-lit Xixing Bridge parts the curtain of dusk, soon giving way to the dazzling light show at City Balcony, which spills across the water like an unfolding scroll. As you glide past, the futuristic silhouette of the Lotus Bowl stadium and the modern landmark of Hangzhou Icon slip by, while the imposing Qianjiang Long sculpture seems to converse across the darkness with the legendary scene of “Qianwang Shechao” Nearing journey's end, the majestic Fuxing Bridge etches the distant skyline.
