Practical guide
Shanghai ferry: choose a pier, then check the live route
Use the ferry as a Huangpu crossing only after confirming the exact line and day’s service.
Shanghai’s municipal transport guide identifies Taigong, Dongfu and Dongjin as regular ferry lines that can be useful for sightseeing, with different Puxi and Pudong piers. It specifically says to check updated operating information through the official Shanghai Ferry WeChat account’s online-routes feature. Treat listed timetables, prices and line availability as live information.
A clear next step
- Choose the river crossing and pier pair that actually fits your route.
- Confirm whether the line’s pedestrian or vehicle rules fit your trip.
- Check the official 上海轮渡 / Shanghai Ferry online-routes information for current operation before going to the pier.
