Beijing will open a new cruise line on Liangma River in the future, the third night river cruise in the city.

By the end of 2019, the construction of a 5,575-meter landscape corridor by Liangma River in east Beijing will be finished, and the new cruise line will let tourists enjoy the dazzling night view by the river, Wang Chengzhi, deputy head of the water authority of Beijing's Chaoyang district, said Thursday.

The Chinese capital currently features two night river cruises on Kunyu River and the Grand Canal in Tongzhou.

The construction plan of the corridor was developed based on ideas the city collected from across the globe. By renovating facilities and adopting ecological methods like diversifying river species and laying fish-nest bricks, it will strive to build a safe and pleasant ecology around the riverway.

According to the plan, different areas along the corridor will be developed based on four themes: leisure and recreation, international exchanges, business activities, as well as nature and ecology. Each of the four areas will take on a different look with unique landscape features.

In addition, more recreational space and facilities will be set up along the corridor.

Facilities to be used in the corridor construction will also be highlighted by high-tech designs. For example, a luminous running track will be constructed along the bank—its surface will absorb solar energy in the day and give out diffused light at night.

According to Wang's introduction, companies along the banks will get actively involved in the construction and share the benefits brought by the beautiful landscape.
