Halo, I’m Haha ya💞 The Bian River boat cruise is truly the soul of Kaifeng! It wasn’t until I boarded the boat that the prosperity of Tokyo really dazzled my eyes! . 🈯 There are many boat cruises on the Bian River, here are a few popular ones: 1️⃣ Painted Boat: The king of cost performance 💰68 RMB ⏰️ One-way 25 minutes, round trip 50 minutes Unlimited rides on the same day ⭐ Recommended Royal River Line 👉【Baogong Lake ➡ Royal River ➡ Longting West Lake】 ✔️ Use as daytime public transport, enjoy the night view of the Eleven Bridges of Bian River at night ✔️ Many docks: Hanyuan Qingyuan Dock → Qishengjiao Dock → Xisi Dock → Baogong Temple Dock, plan your route in advance ✔️ NPC interactions on the boat, you can earn Jiaozi (ancient currency) ❌ Bug: Long queues when crowded! . 2️⃣ Dragon Boat Bamboo Raft 💰120 RMB/seat (can seat 2 adults or 2 adults and 1 child, child height around 110cm) ⏱️ About one and a half hours around Longting West Lake ⭐ Recommended between 7:30-8:30 PM, the performances are concentrated and great to watch! ✔️ Choose seats in the last few sections of the bamboo raft to see the dragon boat’s tail movements ✔️ Book in advance on WeChat official account 【Bian River Boat Cruise】, no need to queue, just arrive 10-15 minutes early to board ❌ Bug: One-time ride per ticket For ticket details, see the pictures? . 3️⃣ Flower Boat (or called Rowing Boat) 💰120 RMB/boat, seats 5-6 people, suitable for families or group outings ⏰️ One round takes about 20-30 minutes ⭐ Recommended to ride during the day, wearing Hanfu for photos is highly photogenic . 🈯 Different boats board at different docks, refer to the pictures? 🈯 Painted boats have many docks, can travel between attractions, no traffic jams on the boat, but boarding queues when crowded 🈯 Off-season often offers many unlimited ride combo tickets, keep an eye out in advance, very cost-effective!
