For many tourists, spending a hundred yuan on a dedicated Huangpu River cruise may not be as practical as purchasing a two-yuan ticket at the Jinling East Road Ferry Terminal next door. As long as it’s before the last ferry of the evening, a boat will take you across to Dongchang Road. The ‘Dongjin Line’ is currently one of the more cost-effective modes of transportation on the Huangpu River. However, compared to the old ferries where one could stand on the deck and enjoy the river breeze, today’s air-conditioned boats only allow for viewing and photographing the night scenery through glass, which is a small regret. Open all year round, 24 hours a day.
