Huangpu cruises all sail the same stretch of river, so this list is really about picking your boat and your hour. Most depart from wharves near the Bund and stay out for about an hour. Book after dark, when both banks switch their lights on.
Discover Shanghai’s stunning skyline on a 45-minute Huangpu River cruise. Learn what to expect, tips for booking, and authentic traveler insights.
