Perhaps the finest of all attractions within this city is the sensational Pearl River itself. Spread over 2000 kilometers, this river is the third longest river in China and combines together four different river systems namely the Xi River, the Bei River, the Liuxi River and the Dong River. Watching as these four rivers come together at one point is a site of its own. Great history attaches itself to the river and it is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating attractions for not only the tourists but also the locals who visit it often and enjoy it more each time.

The name ‘Pearl River’ has been given to this river due to a huge boulder in the river bed which is so round and smooth that it actually looks like a river pearl and is named the ‘sea pearl’. Today, the river stands as a pearl amidst the modern city and its busy life. Surrounded by large buildings such as the beautiful and tall Star Gate Hotel, shopping malls and plenty of other business centers and retailing outlets, this place is certainly a glamorous site, worth every bit of admiration.

THE site is even enhanced further at night time when the sky turns dark but the surrounding building shine amidst their bright lights which are perfectly reflected in the waters of the Pearl River. Some parts of the river itself are lit beautifully and provide a view that might as well take your breath away. The serene river glowing in the lights of a modern urban city and providing such an exceptional view is definitely something to look forward to. As night falls and the river appears to have gone to sleep, the bright lights of the city seem to awaken it and refresh its might.

Taking a walk along the river during the day time is also a feast. One can stroll along the fabulous ‘scenery corridor’ and enjoy the exceptional water scenes. In addition to that, people could point out and admire the beautiful buildings and historic landmarks that surround the river. Not only will it be refreshing and soothing but also a great learning experience for you and your family.

If travelling with your loved one or that special someone, feel free to take a cruise ship along the river at night time. Watch as the lights shine as brightly as the night sky above you and the calm waves soothe your nerves. It will be a delightful experience, one that will be exceptionally difficult to forget. There is so much to do here and even more to explore, so get ready as we take you on an experience of a lifetime, for fun like never before.
