Reviews: Shanghai Huangpu River nightlife sightseeing cruise ticket + English boarding assistance
Guest User2026-08-16
This was an excellent boat trip with really helpful and attentive guides. The boat trip took in all of the amazing lights on display on the buildings down the river and gave us plenty of time to enjoy it. Our guides helped us navigate the on boarding and ticket process and meant we knew exactly where we were going. Highly recommended. Top tip: pay the extra fee for the VIP section once you get on board. Not expensive and you get a seat and some snacks.★

Reviews: Shanghai Huangpu River Night Cruise Ticket includes a buffet dinner; you can choose between the Dragon Boat or the Crystal Princess cruise ship at Pier 3, Shiliupu.

If you're visiting Shanghai, a night cruise on the Huangpu River is something you simply shouldn't miss. My partner and I booked the evening cruise with buffet dinner, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our time in the city. From the moment we boarded at Pier 3, Shiliupu, the experience felt special. As the ship pulled away from the dock, Shanghai's skyline began to light up around us. Seeing the illuminated skyscrapers of Pudong on one side and the historic buildings of the Bund on the other created a stunning contrast between old and new Shanghai. We spent much of the cruise on the outdoor deck taking photos and admiring the views. The city looks completely different at night, with colourful lights reflecting across the river and famous landmarks glowing against the skyline. It was easily one of the most impressive urban views we experienced anywhere in China. The buffet dinner was a welcome addition to the trip. There was a good variety of dishes available, allowing us★

Good afternoon - it was a good tour. We'll have to walk a lot. The guide speaks perfect Russian (we called him "Vasya"). He showed us a nice cafe where the three of us, my daughter and I, had a good and inexpensive meal.★

Reviews: Shanghai Huangpu River nightlife sightseeing cruise ticket - 45 min essence route (Bund + Lujiazui panoramic night tour)
Guest User2026-07-15
Great! I highly recommend it! The views are incredible! I really enjoyed it for a change of pace! Book on trip.com, they send you a code, exchange it for a ticket at the pier, choose a departure time, and it's amazing! Everything went smoothly. I warned them that the text message wouldn't arrive, wrote to the tour organizer, and they sent it to my email and also sent it to me in the trip.com chat. Pier 1, Terminal 1, is easy to find; it's on the maps! For evening trips, leave for the boarding point 1.5-2 hours in advance; traffic jams can occur! Or take the subway without traffic. On the boat, we bought extra seats at a table for ¥100 per person, and the price included ice cream and biscuits!★
