If you wish to reside in Guangzhou luxury apartments make a reservation at the Ascott Guangzhou. Conveniently located in close proximity to several of the city’s attractions and transport hubs, this luxury residence is furnished to perfection and is fully equipped with amenities and conveniences.
Guangzhou is located on the banks of the Pearl River, which happens to be China’s third longest river. One of the major attractions and most iconic experiences offered by Guangzhou is the tour of the Pearl River. Due to the many iconic landmarks along the river and the breathtaking skyline of the area, such a tour allows you to witness beautiful sites of the city. However, the most rewarding experience is the night tour of the Pearl River.
At night the area surrounding the river takes a completely different outlook as buildings and attractions are lit up, giving the area a magical and glistening look. The night tour starts from the White Goose Pool and goes on until the Guangzhou Bridge, passing a wide range of attractions. The waterway at night is beautiful, with the jade waters of the river reflecting the multitude of colourful lights from its banks, making the atmosphere blissful and romantic.
While taking the tour one can witness many iconic buildings of Guangzhou, such as the Tower Shadow Building, the Guangzhou Tower and the Aiqun Mansion. However, the true highlights of the tour are the many landscapes and vistas on show such as the Red Heart of the Pearl River, Night Moon over the Goose Pool and the Clean Waves on the waterway. Further the cruise is considered as one of the most mesmerising and amazing experiences of the area.
