People Also Ask
Q:Is the Pearl River near Hong Kong?
A:Yes, the Pearl River is near Hong Kong. It runs through Guangzhou, the capital of China’s Guangdong province, into the Pearl River Delta and out to sea at the Pearl River Estuary. Hong Kong and Macau sit on either side of the entrance to the Pearl River Estuary.
Q:Is visiting the Pearl River worth it?
A:It depends. If you’re already visiting Guangzhou, a Pearl River night cruise is a magical way to soak up this important city's high-tech skyline and spectacular light shows. But it’s not one of the world’s great rivers or a river that anyone would swap cities to experience.
Q:How much does a Pearl River cruise cost?
A:Prices for Pearl River cruises in Guangzhou vary according to the time of day, the boat, your position, and food options such as buffet dinners. Tickets can cost around 70 RMB and can be bought in person at the pier, with cruise packages including transfers costing US$70.
Q:What is the best time of day to visit the Pearl River?
A:Night is the best time to visit the Pearl River and take a Pearl River cruise. Spectacular lighting displays take over the Canton Tower and surrounding buildings soon after dusk, so timing your cruise for just before or after sunset will let you see the skyline with and without lights.
Q:What is the best time of year to visit the Pearl River?
A:Guangzhou has hot, rainy summers and cooler, dry winters. October and November are great months to take a Pearl River cruise, as the nights are still reasonably warm, but the weather is drier and clearer. Avoid the first week of October, China’s biggest week for tourism.
Q:Is the Pearl River safe to swim in?
A:No, Guangzhou’s Pearl River is not safe to swim in. It’s polluted, the water quality is poor, and there are currents and boat traffic to contend with. However, thousands of brave souls have swum across the Pearl River at organized crossing events and lived to tell the tale.
