Huangpu River Cruises - Shanghai Boat Trip

Highly recommended and suitable for the family tour - Cruising down Huangpu River is a wonderfully romantic experience for visitors to Shanghai. Huangpu River is Shanghai's mother river.

Cruising down the Huangpu River, Shanghai's mother river is a wonderful experience. The cruise begins at the Bund, which is known as a "museum of architecture" and slowly cruises toward the Nanpu Bridge.

At the bridge, the ship makes a U-turn and passes under the Yangpu Bridge. The ship then cruises to the Wusong Kou before returning to the bund. Wusong Kou is the confluence of the Huangpu and Yangtze Rivers, and the East China Sea.

During flood season, the yellow water of the Yangtze River meets the Green water of the East China Sea and since the two water is so distinct, you can watch the two colors flow side by side.
