Although the boat is a bit old, the boatmen are incredibly friendly and provide commentary in Chinese throughout the trip. They sell souvenirs on the return journey; you can buy everything on shore except for the black-packaged seaweed, but the prices are all the same. I recommend this boat trip for tourists; while the scenery isn't spectacular, it's a good value for money.
