Hangzhou's CityFly Night Tours debuted on New Year's Eve, offering a dazzling 15-minute journey covering landmarks like the Olympic Sports Expo City, Liuhe Pagoda, West Lake, and the Qiantang River bridges.

Tours operate daily from 7 pm to 8 pm, accommodating four to five passengers per flight, with prices ranging from 1,980 yuan ($271) to 2,980 yuan. The New Year's version includes a special version letting guests capture exclusive moments from the sky.

This innovative "low-altitude + cultural tourism" concept aligns with Shangcheng district's recognition as the "2024 China Nighttime Economy Preferred District". The district plans to expand aerial tours to other key landmarks and integrate "water-land-air" tourism to improve visitors' experiences.

By combining cultural heritage with cutting-edge tourism, Hangzhou continues to reinvent its role as a destination for modern travelers.
