Take a ferry to enjoy the prosperity on both sides of the Huangpu River

Mondo Tourism Updated on 2024-01-31

Shanghai, the highly prosperous first-tier city of China, the world's financial center and shipping center, has 13 bridges on the Huangpu River, including Lupu Bridge, Yangpu Bridge, Songpu Bridge, Nanpu Bridge, and Xupu Bridge, connecting Puxi Pudong, as well as crossing the river tunnel, and taking the subway to cross the river from the bottom of the river, but it still maintains 17 ancient ferries, which is very unexpected and gratifying.

Taking the Shanghai ferry from Lujiazui to the Bund and taking the ferry on the Huangpu River is not the same as the scenery from the bridge by car, and there is no scenery to cross the river by car and subway through the tunnel. So we decided to take a ferry from Lujiazui Dongchang Road Wharf to the Bund Wharf on the other side of the river, and enjoy the scenery of the most prosperous part of the Huangpu River from the river.

Braving the strong wind blowing on the day before the winter solstice and the cold air at least minus 6 degrees Celsius, Lao Huang and Lao Liu, the "Three Musketeers", and I climbed to the top of the Lujiazui Jin Mao Building for sightseeing, walked for more than ten minutes, and arrived at the Dongchang Road Wharf.

This is the ferry terminal, which can be taken to the Bund Jinling East Road ferry terminal on the other side of the Huangpu River.

Take a ferry from Lujiazui Dongchang Road Wharf, located at 3528 Binjiang Avenue. There are two routes to take the ferry from Dongchang Road Wharf, one is to the Fuxing Road Ferry at No. 1 Fuxing East Road in Puxi. This line crosses the Huangpu River, between Lujiazui and the old wharf, if you take it at night, you will have other charming scenery: the lights are brilliant, the river breeze is blowing, the magic capital three-piece set and the surrounding Lou Ningyu night scene is dazzling and colorful.

The ferry we took was another one from Dongchang Road Pier to the Bund Jinling East Road Ferry at No. 141 Zhongshan East 2nd Road, Puxi. I heard that this line only runs during the day.

When I arrived at the Dongchang Road wharf, I entered the wharf and was stopped by a row of interpreters.

The fee is only 2 yuan, and you can use your mobile phone to scan the code to pay, but WeChat is not good, you must use the mobile phone Alipay travel code or Shanghai's traffic travel code to pay. Lao Huang's mobile phone did not install Alipay, and we didn't have any change coins, so we couldn't get in for a long time. It's really a hero for 2 yuan. Lao Liu and I came in and waited on the dock for about ten minutes, I said that I used my mobile phone to help him scan the code to pay, Lao Huang said that he always had to install it before it was convenient. With the help of the staff, Lao Huang successfully installed the relevant AP software on his mobile phone, and scanned the code to pay in.

Waiting for a boatload of people to disembark from the ferry, we lined up to board the boat. The cabin was empty, with only one or two benches by the window, and the vast majority of the cabins, which could accommodate more than a hundred people, had to stand.

I.

Woo-" The steamer whistle sounded, and the ship sailed, sailing from the right bank of Pudong on the Huangpu River to the left bank of Puxi. In order to see the scenery of Lujiazui and the Bund on both sides of the Huangpu River, the passengers all invariably went up from the cabin to the top deck, standing in the wind and looking at the railing. The river wind was cold, and the face hurt when it blew. Although there was sunshine, I felt that my hand holding a picture of my phone camera was numb and stiff from the cold.

Our eyes first fell on the "three-piece suite" in Lujiazui and high-rise buildings such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Aurora BuildingThen move to the Huangpu River, the river is surging, the waves are surging, the sound of the water is loud, the boats come and go, hundreds of boats compete for the stream, and occasionally there is the sound of the birds on the river "cooing";Then take a look at the Bund International Architectural Complex, the City God Temple, and the characteristic architectural ...... around the Yu Garden

On the Huangpu River ferry, look up at the modern buildings of Lujiazui, look up at the World Expo buildings on the Bund, the scenery of the boat changes, the scenery moves with the ship, the buildings on both sides of the strait are lined up one after another, layer upon layer, such as mountains and mountains, showing the prosperity of the magic capital for a hundred years. Shanghai's century-long vicissitudes, century development, history and today, are all surging with the rolling torrent of the Huangpu River.

It takes about six or seven minutes to get to the other side of the river by two-yuan ferry, but I feel that it is across the long river of history and traces the century-old elegance of Shanghai.
