Buy a ticket to the sunset

Is it worth it to take a night cruise on the Xiang River in Changsha? I went to Changsha and took the night cruise on the Xiang River that very evening. To be honest, I personally don't think it's very worthwhile! The price is a bit expensive, and there's always a queue! However, for those who are visiting Changsha for the first time and want to check out Orange Isle, it's still worth experiencing. After all, I refuse to go to Orange Isle in such hot weather during the day, haha, just sharing my itinerary with everyone~ 🛳️Travel Tips: Night cruise times: 19:00-19:30-20:30-21:00 Route: Orange Isle Wharf→Statue of Mao Zedong at Orange Isle→Du Fu Pavilion→Wanda Plaza→Fisherman's Wharf→Orange Isle Wharf (I personally recommend the 20:30 slot, as it's completely dark by then, and the main attraction of the night cruise is the lights and night view~ The whole journey lasts about an hour, and if you go at 21:00, it ends quite late) 🎫Ticket purchase: 💰180 RMB per person, sisters who want to go should try to buy tickets 1-2 days in advance, as it's very likely you won't be able to get them on the day! Note: The night cruise ticket includes the Orange Isle train ticket. Specific itinerary: Be sure to arrive at least half an hour in advance, as you need to take the train to the wharf where you board the ship! Otherwise, you won't make it! If you have plenty of time, it's best to arrive an hour early, so you can take the train leisurely and enjoy Orange Isle in the evening~ 📍Transportation: You can take Metro Line 2 to 'Orange Isle' station, and following the crowd when you exit the station is basically correct 📍Ticket collection: Note that if you purchase tickets online, you can directly scan the electronic code to take the train and board the ship! There's no need to exchange tickets at the window!!! Silly me queued for a long time... 📍Taking the train: Walk inside from the ticket exchange, where you queue for the train. After boarding the train, move forward, and the staff will remind you where to get off for the cruise ship wharf; 📍Boarding: Queue for boarding, the ship has 3 levels, the first level is indoors (viewing outside through glass windows) but has seats and air conditioning~ The second floor is a small platform, but personally, I think the smell of gasoline is quite strong; the third floor is a more open platform. ⭐️I suggest everyone first take pictures of the night view on the third floor, then go back to the first floor to find a seat and rest~ There are performances downstairs~~. 💥Pitfall to avoid: The best area on the third floor is cordoned off, and you have to pay to enter, with seats, mineral water, and some snacks provided, the price is about 200 RMB for 3-4 people (we didn't buy, not sure), which feels quite expensive, and the staff's attitude is very bad!!! Overall feeling: The night view is just that, a view of the lights at night, and you can see it without taking the cruise!!! On the contrary, I feel that just taking the train around Orange Isle is quite a good deal~
