Shanghai Huangpu River Night Cruise

Shanghai at night is a different city. From the deck of a Huangpu River cruise you see the Bund's colonial facades glow on one bank while the Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower blaze on the other — the single most iconic view in China.

The plan

• 17:30 Hotel pickup, optional early dinner en route
• 18:30 Board the cruise, best photo spot on the upper deck
• 19:00 Depart — about 50 minutes on the water
• 20:00 Disembark, optional rooftop drink or return to hotel

Good to know

The upper deck is open-air — bring a light jacket in spring and autumn. We pre-book tickets to skip the pier queue. Want to combine this with the full-day city tour? We can arrange both in one day.

Highlights

• The classic Shanghai view — the Bund lit up on one side, the Pudong skyline on the other
• Private driver plus pre-booked cruise ticket, no queueing at the pier
• Optional pre-cruise dinner or post-cruise rooftop drink
• A guide who points out the landmarks and their stories
