Jinjiang River Night Cruise (Dongmen Wharf)
锦江夜游
Board a night cruise on the Jinjiang River at Dongmen Wharf and pass Hejiang Pavilion, Anshun Covered Bridge and the lights of Jiuyan Bridge, with a taste of the classic verse “Windows frame the eternal snow of the Western Ridge; ships from distant Wu moor at the door.”
The Jinjiang River night cruise departs from Dongmen Wharf and sails along the Jinjiang to the Jiuyan Bridge and Anshun Covered Bridge area before turning back. The trip takes about 40 to 60 minutes. At night, the lights of the buildings and covered bridges on both banks are reflected on the water, and some sailings feature Sichuan opera or qingyin (folk ballad) performances. Dongmen Wharf is also a food street themed on old Dongmen city life. Tickets cost around 100 yuan (confirm with the official operator), and it is wise to book ahead for weekends in peak season. From Dongmen Bridge Station, it is a short walk. You can link the cruise with Mengzhuiwan and Jiuyan Bridge for a full night route.
