Shanghai Ferry
The Huangpu River running through Shanghai, divides the city into two parts - Pudong New District (east of the river) and Puxi Area (west of the river). The three islands of Chongming, Changxing, and Hengsha under the jurisdiction of Shanghai are separated from the main by the Yangtze River. As a result, ferries play a very important role in the city's transportation.
Huangpu River Ferry
As many bridges, tunnels, and subways are built, people have much more choices when traveling across the Huangpu River. However, ferryboats with 100-year's history are still popular choices for pedestrians and cyclists because of their convenience and low price. At present, there are in total 17 ferry lines serving nearly 40 ferry stations along both sides of the Huangpu River, providing links between Pudong and Puxi.
Ticket Price:
Pedestrians: CNY2; free for children under 6 or 1.3 meters (4.3 feet)
Cyclists: CNY2.8
Motorcyclists: CNY4
Notes:
1. All the ferry stations offer self-service ticketing, and the ticket can be paid for by Alipay, WeChat Pay, Shanghai Public Transportation Card or cash. For cash users, it is advised to prepare loose change in advance.
2. Within the same day, pedestrians and cyclists with Shanghai Public Transportation Card will enjoy a discount of CNY 1 on the second journey. Here is more information on the Huangpu River ferry lines for your reference:

Where can we get local street food and where normally locals go to, not the touristic place for food.
Where can i take a ferry to experience a nice view at night without spending too much time on the boat?

You can take the Dongfu ferry line at Dongchang Road Ferry Pier at No. 3510 Binjiang Avenue or Fuxing Road Ferry Pier at No. 1, Fuxing East Road.
Reply00ReplyReply00ReplyReplyJust wondering, is the river cruise worth the money? Or does the ferry offer the same views? Looking for advice, thanks!
00ReplyReplyWhere could I find a timetable on a ferry from Wusong port to Hengsha island?
I can see above is a query on a ferry to Chongming Island. Is it the same situation? Is easier go from Baoshang port?
