Huangpu River Cruise
黄浦江游览
Take a boat cruise along the Huangpu River at night to enjoy the lights of the Bund's historic buildings and the skyscrapers of Lujiazui.
The Huangpu River is Shanghai's Mother River, and a night cruise is the classic way to take in the views of the Bund and Lujiazui on either bank. Tour boats mainly depart from Shiliupu Pier on the Bund and Oriental Pearl Pier, and the trip lasts about 40–60 minutes, typically running between Yangpu Bridge and Nanpu Bridge. Tickets cost about 100–200 yuan, and you should book ahead on public holidays. For a budget option, ride the ferries that cost only a few yuan (such as the Dongjin Line or the Lujiazui–Bund route) to cross the river and see the night views. The lights on the Bund usually switch off around 22:00.
