Changsha is about to get it's very own submarine tour service! You may have have seen Changsha's new double decker tourist bus which follows a route along the riversides of the Xiangjiang, but now you will have the amazing opportunity to not only see the Xiangjiang, but also dive into it. You can also rent out the vessel for an hourly rate.
The submarine is newest edition to the city's efforts to attract inward investment. The service is located in the Orange Island Scenic Area. Tourists can take the tours along the Xiangjiang River Golden Tour Route or self-drive it within Changsha City limits after a short crash-course in working the controls. Perfect for group bookings and birthday activities! Not only can they have a panoramic view of Changsha's underwater treasures, boat wrecks, corals and rock formations but they can also appreciate the different marine life and may even be able to catch glimpse of the rare finless porpois.
The tours last around 50mins and depart from 9:45am every Saturday and Sunday, until 4:30pm, when daylight viewing finishes due to darker river depths than above water. Prices are set to a special discount of 208RMB with sailings determined by the weather.
