Standing on the promenade of the Bund,\u00a0 you are hooked by the magnificent Pudong Skyline ( also known as “Lujiazui Skyline<\/a><\/strong>“).\u00a0 The temptation is so great that you are eager to explore further the forest of the avant-garde megatall buildings in Pudong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wonder if there is a ferry taking you from the Bund across to the east side of the river while having wider views of the riverside buildings in the course of ferry – old art deco buildings on the Bund and futuristic on Pudong. The answer is yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is said that there are totally 18 ferry lines on the both sides of Huangpu River and all of them are operated by the state-run Shanghai Ferry Company. Don’t be scared by the numerous ferry points. There is only one ferry wharf on the Bund, namely Dongjin Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the ferry line on the Bund is officially known as “Dongjin Line”. The ferry starts from the Dongchang Road on Pudong to Jinling Road on the Bund, hence “Dongjin Line”.  Still sounds too complicated to you? Then just remember “The Bund Ferry”, forget the so-called “Dongjin Line”. That’s okay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get to the Bund Ferry ( Dongjin Ferry Line) ? \u4e1c\u91d1\u7ebf\u8f6e\u6e21<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just keep walking on the Bund to the south and soon you will find a pier home to two ferry boats shown on the picture below, then you have hit the\u00a0 Bund Ferry Wharf ( or Dongjin Ferry Line Pier \uff09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is the ticketing office?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you see the wharf above, then you try to find a passage down from the elevated promenade to the road on your right side. Below the promenade and on the left side of the road, you can find the English characters – Tickets – that’s the ticketing office for the ferry line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You wait in line and only need to pay 2 yuan for the ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Notice:<\/strong>
If you keep on walking in the south direction, you will soon get to the box office for cruising on Huangpu River. Check out the link “How to Book Huangpu River Cruise Tickets<\/a>” for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After purchasing your ferry ticket, walk ahead to the place with iron handrails where you enter by through your ticket ( a plastic coin ). The condition of the waiting hall is very basic with very few seats available for passengers. In most cases you have to wait for your ferry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ferry is air-conditioned, two-deck, upper and lower. If you prefer to take pictures, you’d  better go up to the upper deck.The upper deck is covered on the top, but open-air above the one-meter high fence surrounding the edge of the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to grab a space next the fence and take clear pictures of the views on both sides of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
