In the hustle and bustle of 25+ million people, I took an afternoon cruise along the Huang Po River, getting a bird's eye view of the architecture that I missed from the Bund. For me, it was a nice, quiet break.

nice ride and very good views of the lit up buildings. the ride was way too long for such a small harbor and most all of us left the upper deck after one round and we all went downstairs to get a seat at a table and never looked out the window again. got great pics!

Our guide recommended this after a very busy day touring...it was wonderful! The only problem we had to stand the whole trip as there were not any seats on the top deck. With an unobstructed view, the neon lights were spectacular! Glad we went!

This was the highlight of our trip to Shanghai. For a few dollars more, you can upgrade to the top deck, private area, at the bow of the ship. The view and the experience were priceless.

You shouldn't miss this if you're in Shanghai. It's romantic and extravagant. We paid RMB100 each and it's worth it. We went to the roof deck and the view is much better than the air-conditioned lower deck where the view is obstructed by glass windows.

It says 40min but we got a 1.5 hours ride. Not that we are complaining but we went without dinner and were all hungry. Just remember to pack a picnic basket if you are not planning to take dinner on board!

it gets really crowded but spectacular view on river cruise. people just move along regardless of "exixting" queue. Stay with your group or plan where to meet if one of u gets lost in the 'jump queue' crowd.
