Party buses hit the road in Guangzhou

To mark the one year anniversary for the operation of the city's double-decker sightseeing tour buses, Guangzhou put special party buses on the road on Sept 24.

The first floors of the double-deckers have been changed to become an open platform decorated with colorful balloons where snacks and beverages are served. Passengers are now able to have a party on the bus while enjoying Guangzhou's beautiful views.

According to Hu Shijia, a manager for the double-decker bus provider Guangzhou Twin City Sightseeing Bus, the routes can be customized and extra services provided to meet customer demands. The price for chartering a double-decker is 1,200 yuan ($181) per hour.

The tour buses have also been equipped with audio guides of the routes in eight different languages, and feature an advanced automatic orientation system to provide the right tour guide services to visitors wherever they are.

The buses tour past city landmarks such as the Canton Tower and the Museum of the Western Han Dynasty Mausoleum of the Nanyue King.
