Shanghai acts as an impressive backdrop to the River Huangpu. Enjoy views of the old façades of the Bund, the city’s port dotted with cranes and derricks, and a procession of passenger boats, junks, barges, luxury cruise ships and warships on a memorable 3hr 30min cruise. This historic waterway is the scene for an incessant coming and going of traffic between Shanghai, which it crosses from one side to the other, and the Yellow Sea.
