About this activity

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Huangpu River, Headstreams from Dianshan Lake, Zhujiajiao Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai 201700 China

Your guide will pick you up in your hotel lobby at 6:00 pm when the sun is just about to go down, and the city prepares to turn on all of its lights. Then you will start the first activity by going on board the Huangpu River cruise.

The cruise offers an extraordinary view of both the Bund and Pudong area, landmarks of Shanghai’s architecture. The Bund is an impressive area of neoclassical buildings, dating back to Shanghai’s grandest days, while Pudong offers one of the world’s most iconic night skylines.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: The Bund (Wai Tan), Zhongshan East 1st Road, Shanghai China

After disembarking from the cruise, there is an opportunity to walk along the wide boulevard of the Bund to see the western architectural influence.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Jin Mao Tower, No.88 Century Avenue, Pudong New Area, Shanghai 200121 China

Continue to visit with the Jin Mao Tower, once the highest and biggest observation deck in all of China. The tower is filled with offices, a shopping mall, and the Grand Hyatt Shanghai Hotel. The tower comprises part of the Bund’s skyline that you saw earlier from your river cruise. When it was built, its proportions all revolved around the number eight, a number which is associated with prosperity in Chinese culture. That’s why there are 88 floors that can be divided into 16 segments, each of which is 1/8th shorter than the 16-storey base of the building. The building was even built upon an octagon-shaped concrete shear wall core.

After this the tour ends and we will bring you back to your hotel.

Our guide was punctual and spoke good English. He picked us up at 6:00 p.m. in a car at our hotel and we were driven to the Jin Mao tower. The size of the crowds everywhere in Shanghai boggle the mind. Throngs of people lined up at the elevator to go to the 88th floor, which offers spectacular views of the city, at least of the surrounding area because of the smog. We were then driven to the dock from where the Huangpo river cruises depart. Again, hordes of people lining up for a cruise. Our guide went to buy tickets for the 7:45 p.m. cruise and then came back to tell us that all the tickets were sold out. He got into a fight with the ticket agents who said they would never sell him tickets again. We would have to wait for the next cruise at 9:00 p.m. He then suggested we have a continental dinner at the hotel nearby (our tickets didn't include dinner). We replied that weren't interested in a continental dinner but wanted Shanghainese food, whereupon he took us to a Chinese food court close by and returned at 8:30 p.m. Well, the boat was very crowded and had no seating! When I asked the guide about this, he said seating wouldn't enable so many customers aboard. There were plenty of other cruise boats around us with nice seating easily visible.

A very enjoyable tour, our guide was amazing and spoke very good english. The tour included visits to Jin Mao Tower, this was a great view of Shanghai and a must see! The Bund is also a great view looking back on Shanghai city for you to get the perfect pictures! and the river cruise was amazing, be sure to pay the extra 10 to get to the VIP area, well worth it to get out of the hustle and bustle of tourists.
