    2. Huangpu River

      At night, when the lights of buildings on both banks of the Huangpu River are illuminated, the Bund displays its most fantastic side. It is worth appreciating the florid Bund night view from a Huangpu River cruise. The dazzling lights fully exhibit the magnificence of the various buildings and make up the best night scene of Shanghai together with the colorful light shadows floating in the river and the flashing lights on the far side of the river.

    Tour was good . Buffet...

    Tour was good . Buffet was terrible! When we arrived the buffet entrees were almost gone! Terrible taste!

    Response from the operator: We’re truly sorry and apologize for the delay due to traffic and appreciate your feedback about the dinner and overall service - we’re already reviewing these points with our local partners to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you for sharing your impressions with us!

    Don't waste your money with this tour

    Price Service ratio is very poor They passed us at the hotel 30 minutes late They hadn't bought the cruise tickets. We arrived at the dock, bought the tickets and had to run because the boat left us The restaurant combined it and is average quality The presentation of the lousy, totally unwelcome guide It is better to go to the dock and buy the ticket on your own, cheaper and without bad times

    Response from the operator: We’re truly sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations, Felipe.

    Shanghai Skyline River Tour with Great Dim Sum Dinner

    We selected the option to eat at the Dim Sum restaurant and were so pleased with the food and the market area surrounding the restaurant. The river cruise was a great experience to enjoy the Shanghai skyline and city lights.

    Shanghai Night Tour to Huangpu River Cruise +Dingtaifeng or Buffet at Cruiseship: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.

    How much does Shanghai Night Tour to Huangpu River Cruise +Dingtaifeng or Buffet at Cruiseship cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Shanghai Night Tour to Huangpu River Cruise +Dingtaifeng or Buffet at Cruiseship take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.

    Is Shanghai Night Tour to Huangpu River Cruise +Dingtaifeng or Buffet at Cruiseship worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Shanghai Night Tour to Huangpu River Cruise +Dingtaifeng or Buffet at Cruiseship?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Shanghai Night Tour to Huangpu River Cruise +Dingtaifeng or Buffet at Cruiseship suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Shanghai Night Tour to Huangpu River Cruise +Dingtaifeng or Buffet at Cruiseship?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Shanghai Night Tour to Huangpu River Cruise +Dingtaifeng or Buffet at Cruiseship start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Shanghai?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Suzhou Private Day Trip from Shanghai with Bullet Train Option, 4-Hour Flexible Private Shanghai City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Shanghai?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Shanghai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
