Other Night Views
Yalu River Night Cruise
Taking a boat ride, admire the nightscape of the Broken Bridge, where reflections and lights intertwine. This popular attraction has been popular since the beginning of summer.
Rafting offers the dual feeling of "swimming in a painting" and the exhilarating feeling of riding the wind.
Anton Old Street
This national-level tourist and leisure district, ablaze with lights at night, features ancient buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles blending with modern light and shadow, making it a perfect stroll.
It brings together traditional businesses like traditional dim sum and intangible cultural heritage handmade crafts, showcasing a century of commercial culture.
Moon Island Night Market and New District Ferris Wheel
The nightscape of neon lights intersects with the riverscape, and the Ferris wheel is a city landmark.
The surrounding area is densely populated with dining and entertainment facilities, making it a great choice for families.
We recommend combining a night banquet with a Yalu River cruise to create a complete nighttime itinerary combining sightseeing, dining, and interaction.
