Overview

The Bund is the cultural section of Shanghai that best represents the blending of ancient and modern influences. This renowned waterfront district is the city’s most famous landmark. You’ll experience the definition literally with a feeling of space and openness that you won’t find anywhere else in Shanghai. The tour starts with an evening cruise on the Huangpu River, which divides the Bund into two sections, Pu Dong and Pu Xi, which mean “east of river” and “west of river”. Local people honor the Huangpu as Mother River, and as you view the lights and spectacle from the deck of your evening cruise, you will understand it. After the cruise, we will enjoy a walk along the Bund on our way to the historically famous Peace Hotel, which served as the center of Shanghai’s nightlife in the 1920’s and 30’s. Then we will take a trolley tour to enjoy the magnificent night view of Nanjing Road.

Shanghai lights

Published on Mar, 2025

Great little tour for small groups. Tom was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about the area’s history. With the hotel collection and drop off it was very relaxing and enjoyable. Got some great photos as Shanghai is very impressive at night. I would recommend.

A must do!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was by far the best was to enjoy the city in all its glory at night, we were so lucky to have a perfectly clear night to enjoy unobstructed views across both sides of the river, old meets new, the river splitting them, allowing them both to shine respective of one another. We were able to get really good spot on the boat so we didn’t need to move at all, be sure to get there early as everyone rushes to the edges of the boats to get the best views and the locals don’t hesitate to push, especially in the so-called queue area, which is rather chaotic. But it’s so worth the madness to take in the views.

Spectacular

Published on Nov, 2024

As part of our tour, we ended the day with a picturesque evening cruise on the Huang Pu River, featuring breathtaking views of the city skyline and the iconic Bund. The 45-minute cruise included an upgrade to a 'VIP' private area on the boat, which we paid extra for to avoid the pushy crowds.

A Great Way To See The City

Published on Sep, 2024

We took this boat cruise as part of a China tour. The night we went was particularly hot and the boat was quite full. We paid a few extra dollars and we were able to be in an area that had fewer people and the extra $ gave you a drink and something to nibble on. The cruise takes under an hour and gives a great view of the modernity of buildings and lights in Shanghai. Highly recommended and do your best to get a spot at the side of the boat so you can get great photos.

A Cruise You Shouldn't Miss

Published on Aug, 2020

None other than any other cruise as was thrilled over the many attractions of Shanghai's architecture and modern skyscrapers especially in the limelight of the night with the amazing sparkling neon lights while cruising along the bunks on the top deck of cruise enjoying the cooling breeze and the overwhelmed beauty.
