Two hour boat cruise to Taiwan border

The thing about a Chinese boat cruise is everything has an upsell. We paid $20 each for a ticket and you would think we can roam around all 3 levels of the boat. Well you would be wrong.

2nd floor cost $10 more each for so call tea service and 3rd floor cost $17 more each since it's the top floor for more tea service.

First floor is dark and inside an air conditioned room with just rows of seats. It looked Pretty depressing. One good thing is though with price hikes like this, things are also negotiable since if we don't go upstairs they would not make any money.

My cousin and I put our bargaining skills to good use and got 9 of us up there for $50 more total. We were happy and they were as well. We got the perfect corner spot for many nice photos as well as a quick nap on the way back. ;-)
