TicketedTimed entry
The main departure point for Huangpu River cruises, at the south end of the Bund. The standard 45-minute loop gives the Bund and the Pudong skyline from the water; night sailings are the reason people come. Tickets are sold on site and through the operator's mini-program — a typical place where a foreign visitor may hit the QR-only payment wall.

How to book
Online: buy Shiliupu day/night tickets in the Suishenxing app, then redeem in the 'Huangpu River Tourism official ticketing' mini-program and board with the QR code (Transport Commission FAQ, Feb 2025); also the operator's own mini-program, cruise companies' WeChat official accounts and third-party platforms. In person: a ticket office at 131 Zhongshan East 2nd Road is listed by Yangpu district (May 2025), with exchange closing 10 min before departure and boarding 30 min early — not confirmed elsewhere, go by what the pier saysVerified · 2025-02Source ↗
ID details
No ID rule for standard entry; concessions require proof. Third-party (OTA) bookings are exchanged at the pier window with a valid ID; concession fares (children 1.3-1.5 m, over-70s) on ID — no real-name rule is stated for full-price walk-up tickets
Paying on site
Pier ticket windows (day tickets collected at Pier 1, night at Pier 2, per a 2025 district notice), or the operator's WeChat mini-program; payment methods at the window not officially stated
Beat the crowds
Night sailings between 18:00 and 21:00 are the crush, and holiday or light-show evenings mean long ticket-exchange queues. Daytime sailings rarely need a wait.
