2. Huangpu cruise

Cruising on the Huangpu River has always been an experience for tourists in Shanghai as they get to take in the views of the sightseeing spots located on the river's two banks, including the Bund, the skyscrapers in Lujiazui and several famous bridges. The cruise tour, which was comprehensively upgraded recently, now offers more routes.

"Our 1,000-person Dragon Cruise and 380-person Crystal Princess Cruise will be ready for Spring Festival, and provide both reunion dinner for families as well as Western-style buffets," says Tao Meng, the deputy manager of the marketing department at Shanghai Huangpu River Cruise Co Ltd.
