At around 8 pm on July 26, the largest and most luxurious cruise ship “Junjian” on the Jingjiang River officially set sail. In the darkness of the night, the riverside view and bright lights on the ship complemented with each other and looked so beautiful that residents at the riverside and tourists on board could not help but take photos.

"Junjian" is 48 m long and 10 m wide and can accommodate more than 200 tourists. Its maiden voyage started from and finally back to Heshun Ferry Port in Jingzhou along a route of 10 km which passed by the Jingzhou Yangtze River Bridge and the Yanka Wharf. In the future, it also will be dedicated to another travel route on the Jingjiang River which boasts the most gorgeous and wonderful views among all sections of the Yangtze River.
