What to Expect

As a modern international metropolis, Shanghai perfectly shows how old and new things coexist with each other harmoniously. Taking a Huangpu River cruise is definitely the best way to enjoy the traditional yet open culture of this century-old city.

Reserve a Huangpu River cruise ticket to feel the gentle breeze onboard. As the cruise sails down, you will pass the Bund, where colonial banking houses of various western styles dominate the skyline. It feels like that you are travelling back to one hundred years ago when Shanghai was a financial center as well as a busy port in China.

On the opposite bank, high skyscrapers densely towering up to the sky form a beautiful landscape. On the deck of a Huangpu River Cruise ship, you can take a close look at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Jin Mao Tower, the four best representatives among all high rises in Shanghai.

As night falls down, the city is lit up by colorful dazzling lights. You can find the best spot to admire the night piece of Shanghai on a Huangpu River night cruise.

    The booking process was fast, easy and flawless as well as the regular updates per mail and the issuing of the tickets. The QR code provided could be exchanged for paper tickets at the pier (which can be a bit tricky to find -> Apple Maps are quite helpful in that regard and people in the area can be asked for directions if necessary) and where then collected when boarding the ship - everything smooth and without issues. The ship is really nice and the crew is friendly and helpful, there is plenty of space and one can walk around the ship on several decks and take photos easily. The food served as part of the dinner package was plentiful and everybody could eat as much as they want, also soft drinks were provided. The quality of the food regarding freshness and taste, however, (depending on the dish) varied between ok and subpar. The cruise itself was wonderful and the duration as promised and therewith significantly longer than with other tours / packages, that's a real plus. All in in all, we have enjoyed our four hours on the ship, we ate quite a lot and have lots of magnificient photos. ...More

    Booking with Travel China Guide is excellent. We also booked high speed rail. For the Huangpu river cruise most tour sides only advertise the short cruise (45 minutes no dinner). I would not have booked the crystal princess cruise where there is a buffet dinner served first if I have not booked at Travel China Guide.

    The instruction on the booking confirmation was exactly as they are. Picked up ticket at window 1. The buffet was as advertised and the tour operator called us in the morning to advise the departure of the night. the cruise was exactly 2 hours os we got to see the bund twice and from much different angles....More

    The pier was a bit difficult to find at first as the address was not accessible in google maps. However, as most people are super kind to support you I found the entrance very quickly. The cruise itself went very smooth and was stunning. The bund just looks amazing at night.
    I would also like to share big thanks to the organizers who are always willing to help in case of questions or concerns. Thank you for this incredible experience with you, I highly recommend it

    Very easy to book! They simply emailed me the QR code and I could redeem at any time at the pier.
    The cruise was fun, aprox. 45 minutes of the actual sail. It was lovely to see all the buildings lit up.
