The Jinjiang River has been the historical lifeline of Chengdu for over a thousand years. At night it becomes a quiet corridor of light and reflection. Unlike standard sightseeing boats, this is a fully private experience: an exclusive Chinese-style painted boat, an onboard banquet, curated cultural narration, and a silent cruising route away from tourist traffic. It is not a sightseeing cruise — it is a floating private dining experience.

Onboard Dining
This is a curated culinary experience rather than a restaurant on a boat. The kitchen focuses on light Sichuan cuisine (reduced oil and spice), seasonal freshness, and elegant modern plating, served course by course with premium Chinese tea, selected wines, or signature cocktails. Menus can be adapted for European, Southeast Asian, vegetarian, or other dietary needs. The focus is harmony between taste, atmosphere, and setting — not intensity.
