Nanbin Road Promenade
南滨路
A long riverside promenade on the south bank, lined with restaurants and looking directly back at the north-bank skyline.
Why visit
Dinner with that view is the reason to come. It is also the calmest way to walk beside the river, and the only stretch of waterfront where the whole skyline is laid out in front of you rather than around you.
Terrain warning
The promenade level is flat and step-free along most of its length. The difficulty is the connection up to the street level above it.
What to expect
Busiest around sunset. The further you walk from the restaurant clusters, the emptier it gets.

The wider Nanbin Road area behaves like this: The promenade itself is flat and generous. The difficulty is the connection between the promenade and the streets above it, which is where the stairs are.

How to get there
Nearest metro
The promenade is long — several kilometres. Work out which section you want before you arrive, because walking the whole thing is its own outing.
Walking the last stretch
The promenade level is flat and step-free along most of its length. The difficulty is the connection up to the street level above it.
