Balloon ride for Dragon Boat Festival in Dianshan Lake town
(chinadaily.com.cn)
Flowing in midair as everything looks smaller and dreamier underneath is what a hot air balloon ride offers. The picturesque view around Dianshan Lake and the sentimental feelings aroused because of the Dragon Boat Festival perhaps will make the ride even more romantic, for family, friends or lovers.
The balloon ride will start by the lake early in the morning. Tethered balloons will be set to 50 meters above the ground for visitors to admire the sunrise from the air. The experience will last for five to 10 minutes.
The event will be organized on the actual festival day, June 9, and the day after. The tickets will be 60 yuan, but the first 30 visitors on each day will enjoy free rides.
Location for gathering: Lakeside Ring Road, near Yinghu Road
