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.
Guest User2026-05-30
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

We had a beautiful experience my mother and I, received by a companion named Nydia, who was more than helpful, a mastered English, kind, pleasant, a strong comfort in a city where English is little mastered. A gift was even offered to us from her, a pleasant person for a pleasant experience.

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!

Reviews: Shanghai Yu Garden + City God Temple Taoist Temple + Shanghai City God Temple + Huangpu River cruise
Guest User2026-07-15
A wonderful tour of Yunan Garden and surrounding areas, such as the market and Zhao Park. Christopher was a wonderful guide, fluent in the language and extremely friendly, even providing us with napkins in the heat. It was a very interesting tour; you learn a lot and get lots of recommendations. We had to wait a bit longer for the cruise, but it offers amazing views, and even after the tour, you'll still feel a bit energized. Overall, I definitely recommend this activity.

Reviews: Shanghai Tower + The Bund + Huangpu River Night Cruise: Shanghai Sightseeing Bus Join-in Half-day Tour
Guest User2026-06-22
Lily was helpful and knowledgeable. The visit to the Shanghai Tower was stunning. The evening boat ride with both banks lit up is a wonderful memory. I recommend stopping by the Liu Garden area on your way back for a true taste of China.
