“If you want to watch the spectacular Dragon Bridge fire and water show from the water, we highly recommend booking your tickets for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night. Make sure to choose the 08:00 PM or 08:30 PM departure time to be perfectly positioned on the river when the show begins at 09:00 PM. Since these weekend slots sell out very quickly, booking 1 to 2 days in advance is essential!”
