Huangpu River Ferry
The 2-yuan public ferry across the Huangpu from the south end of the Bund to Lujiazui — the cheap alternative to the tourist cruise and the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel. Ten minutes on the water with the whole Bund facade behind you and the towers ahead, then you are on the Pudong riverside. Pay with a transport card, a phone QR, or cash at the turnstile.
No ticket: tap a Shanghai transport card, scan a phone payment QR or Suishen code, or pay cash at the turnstile (unstaffed since March 2022; cash still confirmed at Dongchang Road in June 2026)Verified · 2022-03Source ↗
