The first double-deck bus featuring comedy shows is to be launched along the Xiangjiang riverside on July 18, offering residents and tourists a fresh night tour experience. 

More than a sightseeing bus, it will be an on-the-move stage for improv comedy shows, combining the spectacular night views of the Xiangjiang River with hilarious performances to create a unique new cultural tourism IP for the city. 

The bus was modified from a sightseeing double-decker. Its lower deck features a retro theme, creating an ideal spot for appreciating Changsha's night views and taking photos. The upper deck is a comedy show stage, where passengers can enjoy live improv shows and may even have the opportunity to join in. 

Unlike ordinary sightseeing buses, this bus features improv comedy shows which are created and performed live based on passengers' interactions. 

During their rides, passengers may receive various gifts based on their tickets, such as specially designed paper tickets, Changsha-themed stamped postcards, and discount coupons for well-known scenic attractions. 

The bus offers special night tours. It departs from the initial stop of the Xiangjiang sightseeing buses, located next to the Exit 5 of Bishahu Station on Changsha Metro Line 4, and ends at the Youth Square, or Qia Tongxue Shaonian Square. The journey is non-stop and takes approximately 70 to 90 minutes.

Early-bird tickets are on sale currently, being priced at 49 CNY per person. From July 23, the price will increase to 59 CNY per person, applicable to both adults and children, with one ticket required per seat. Once regular operations commence, the bus will operate two trips every day, departing at 17:00 and 19:30 respectively.
