Night cruises on the West Lake are available from May 5 through October 31, the Hangzhou government said on its official WeChat account.

People can take a night cruise at five ferries around the lake.

At Hubin No. 5 Park, visitors can choose either an impressive dragon boat or a small bar boat for a 50-minute sightseeing cruise on the lake. Cruise services run from 6:30pm to 9:30pm from May to August and from 6pm to 9pm from September to October.

Tickets cost 90 yuan (US$14) for adults and 45 yuan for children and include Longjing tea and some fruits.

At Hubin No. 1 and No. 2 parks, visitors can take a round-the-lake cruise at 50 yuan per adult and 25 yuan per child. Services are available from 5pm to 9:30pm, May to August, and from 6pm to 9pm, September to October.

Rental boats are available at the ferry near Broken Bridge. Tourists can also hail for a boat paddled by a worker along the bank.

All boats are equipped with a GPS system and life saving appliances.
