We decided to take the 7.15 PM cruise as the lights are usually turned on by 7 PM. Ticket price was 120 Yuan (about RM70) per person. The cruise lasted about an hour.
The scenery was breathtaking in addition to autumn weather, which was cool and breezy. However, the experience of waiting and queueing with the majority of the Chinese people was quite chaotic. They have no respect for personal space. They took advantage of having someone in a wheelchair to cut queue but the person in the wheelchair walked fine when he was on board.
Everyone was in a mad rush, as if they were there to get free gold bars. What was the rush about? After all, we were all going up the same boat. Did they not realize that? There was no need to rush for seats, the boat is big enough and there are several decks. Their despicable behavior left a nasty taste of the river cruise experience for me.
