Excellent tourist
attractions can be seen on both banks of the
Huangpu River in Shanghai (Huangpu Jiang) whereby
cruising along the Huangpu River, visitors can
review the past, witness the present and look
forward to the bright future of the city. Vast
city skyscrapers, the International Convention Centre,
Jinmao Building, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the
emerging Pudong New Area can be seen coexist
nicely with traditional structures such as the
Huangpu Park, the Monument Tower to the People's
Heroes, the ruins of the ancient canon mountings
and the fortifications at Wusong.
What draws tourists here is the
magnificent views of the Bund, the riverfront
activities, the Yangpu and Nanpu bridges and an
opportunity to witness the ever-changing
contrast of historical and modern sites during
the cruise. The Huangpu River tour boats depart
from the dock on the Bund, near Yanan Lu,
everyday. There are different types of river cruise
ranging from one hour up to three-and-a-half
hour boat ride. Night departures may be more
scenic as the buildings are all lighted up
brightly.
Admission: 45
- 100 yuan
Transport:
Visitors may get there by public bus Nos. 20,
22, 42, 55, 65 and 71.
