Huangpu River Cruise
Shanghai, China

About
As the symbolic mother river of Shanghai, the Huangpu River traverses the city’s core urban area, perfectly dividing the classic old urban area and modern Pudong new district. It serves as the best viewing belt to appreciate the integration of century‑old exotic architecture on the Bund and towering modern skyscrapers in Lujiazui. River cruises and waterfront walks allow tourists to fully experience the unique charm of Shanghai's combination of retro style and modern prosperity.
