Your private day tour of Shanghai begins at 9:30 am when your local guide picks you up from your centrally located hotel. The tour starts with a visit to the famous Bund, a scenic waterfront area along the Huangpu River that beautifully contrasts Shanghai’s colonial-era architecture with its modern skyline. A stroll along the Bund offers a perfect view of the city’s blend of history and progress. Nearby, you’ll explore Nanjing East Road, one of Shanghai’s most vibrant commercial streets, filled with shopping malls, local eateries, and bustling city life. Next, you’ll head to Yu Garden, a beautifully preserved classical Chinese garden that was once a private residence. With its traditional architecture, pavilions, and peaceful courtyards, it offers a glimpse into the elegance of Ming Dynasty design. Outside the garden, the bazaar is a lively spot where you can browse local snacks, crafts, and souvenirs.
In the afternoon, your guide will take you to Xintiandi, a trendy district set within the former French Concession. The area features well-preserved European-style buildings that now house cafes, restaurants, and cultural spots. Here, you’ll learn about the area's colonial history while soaking in the lively, modern atmosphere. Afterward, you will visit the Jade Buddha Temple, a peaceful Buddhist sanctuary where a revered jade statue of the Buddha—carved from a single piece of Burmese jade in 1882—is displayed. It’s a tranquil spot amidst the urban energy of the city. As the day winds down, you’ll enjoy a relaxing cruise along the Huangpu River, a must-do experience that offers spectacular views of the illuminated Bund and the futuristic skyline of Pudong. After the cruise, you will be transferred back to your hotel, bringing this enriching and scenic day in Shanghai to a close. Please remember to bring your passport for the tour.

Nice 1-hour cruise with great Shanghai skyline views, especially at night. Good price and on time, but the meeting point is a bit tricky to find. Worth it for the lights and atmosphere!. You can buy drinks but I didn’t do this time
It was a nice one-hour cruise ride where we could see Shanghai skyscrapers. I would recommend buying tickets in advance, but it can depend on the day.
This was $30/pax in our group tour. It was enjoyable and fascinating. First floor has indoor viewing area with tables and chairs facing large windows. You can buy snacks and beverages here. Second level has private rooms I think, toilets, and limited outdoor view deck. Third floor was the roofdeck- everyone was here as it offers 360 degree view of the Oriental Pearl Tower side and the Bund. Such majestic colors, esp the golden lights along the Bund.
I followed some social media recommendations and took this RMB 2 one way cruise from the west bank of Huangpu River to the east bank. It was a short few minutes trip but the views were nice and the fare was so attractive. I believe the evening views will be stunning. I also took the cruise back from the east bank to the west bank. Come and enjoy this very economical cruise.
One of the tourist attractions in Shanghai. It is a good event, offers a good ride along the river with sightseeing of major attractions in Shanghai. The buffet was nice with a number of different dishes. Had to buy beer though, not complementary. If you’re in Shanghai, do plan for the cruise, it is relaxing
