About this activity

Combine two of Guangzhou's quintessential experiences in one evening: authentic Cantonese dim sum at a celebrated local restaurant, followed by an illuminated Pearl River night cruise showcasing the city's skyline. This curated 4-hour experience pairs culinary tradition with modern urban scenery.

At 6.00 pm, your friendly guide and drive will pick up you at your downtown Guangzhou Hotel lobby. Then you will be transferred to famed Diandoude Dim Sum Restaurant for a very traditional dim sum in Canton style. Try out the tasty shrimp dumplings, shaomai dumplings, walnuts bun, steamed ribs and many other yummy dim sum items.   

Afterwards you will be transferred to the dock on the Pearl River to hop on the night cruise. Cruising on the Pearl River is listed as one of must-do things in Guangzhou. You will be able to see the amazing city night view along the river on the cruise. 

After your tour is finished, you will be transferred back to your hotel or somewhere that you prefer to be dropped off in the city.
