Shanghai's River Cruise is About to Become Longer

If you've taken visitors on the Huangpu River Cruise only to find yourself disembarking dissapointed due to a short time afloat, we've got news for you. The sightseeing trip is going to be extended by 21 km.

Setting into motion later this year, the new trip will extend from Fuxing Island to Xupu Bridge. The current tours are only 9km long and stick between Yangpu and Lupu bridges.
