The Huangpu River is known as the ‘Mother River of Shanghai’. Pudong and Puxi are separated by it. Respective famous landmarks such as the Bund and Lujiazui Financial Center have been formed. Viewing the glorious night view of the Huangpu River is an indispensable stop for tourists coming to Shanghai. You can also take a cruise on the river and have a panoramic view of the scenery on both banks. The Huangpu River, which is about 113 kilometers in length and 300 to 700 meters in width, flows through various districts of Shanghai. It is a symbol and emblem of Shanghai, gathering the essence of Shanghai’s urban landscape. The Bund and Binjiang Avenue by the Huangpu River are excellent viewing spots. There are relatively fewer tourists on Binjiang Avenue than on the Bund. Strolling along the river, the row of exotic-looking architectures on the west bank of the Puxi River, known as the World Architecture Expo on the Bund, forms a sharp contrast with the modern skyscrapers rising one after another on the east bank and reaching into the clouds. From this, you can catch a glimpse of Shanghai’s century-long development history. The night view of the Huangpu River is also a must-see. At night, the banks of the Huangpu River are ablaze with lights. You can start from the Shiliupu Pier on Zhongshan East 2nd Road in Huangpu District and take a cruise on the Huangpu River. The beautiful scenery along the way is unobstructed. The Yangpu Bridge and Nanpu Bridge spanning the Huangpu River, the classic Waibaidu Bridge like a jade belt, the beautiful Pudong Binjiang Avenue, and the uniquely shaped Shanghai International Convention Center form a beautiful scenic line under the gorgeous lights, which is a feast for the eyes. On board, Chinese food, Western food, buffets and other services are provided. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River while enjoying delicious food. The cruise operates from 11:00 to 21:30 every day. There is one departure every hour from 11:00 to 13:00 and one departure every half an hour from 13:00 to 21:30. The single voyage takes about 60 minutes. If you don’t want to spend too much time on a cruise, the ferry shuttling between Pudong and Puxi is also an economical choice to experience the charm of the Huangpu River and is more nostalgic. The ferry ship shuttles between Jinling East Road Ferry Terminal next to the Bund and Dongchang Road Ferry Terminal in Pudong. It operates from 7:00 to 22:00. The one-way journey takes about ten minutes and there is one departure every 15 minutes. There is also a ferry shuttling between Fuxing East Road Ferry Terminal and Dongchang Road Ferry Terminal.
