Docking at 7.30pm, we made our way down to Canton Wharf where the Primary social was being held. I have heard that these river cruises are worth doing, and if you want to do it on a  budget you can just take the boat taxi along the river. However, this was a special affair and our boat (not the one in the picture but this is an example of the other ones) was donned with fairy lights and a buffet of food and drink delights. There was the option to sit downstairs in the dining area with the windows and roof looking out across the river to the skyline of GZ, especially lovely was the City's most recognised landmark, the Canton Tower.

As we made our way under Liede bridge, we turned and headed back on ourselves and down towards Shamian Island. Along the way we saw some fantastic buildings and lights to highlight what a remarkable place we live in. All this with a few glasses on wine and enjoying catching up with people you don't often see.

Probably my favourite buildings were nearer the end of the trip, towards Shamian Island before we doubled back. There was a group of them showing the same visual display, but in sync with each other to show a bigger picture altogether. For example, the fish below would swim across one building and then end up on the next... very clever!

The two hours sailed by and before you know it we were back to the start again... unfortunately we had to work early the next day so didn't continue on the party with the others but navigated the metro and bus home :-) Great night and well worth doing if you come to GZ.
