Hotel pick-up from downtown Shanghai in the late afternoon. Private vehicle transfer to Expo Culture Park for Twin Mountains. Twin Mountains is located inside Expo Culture Park; moderate short uphill walking is required for the mountain viewing spot, so comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended.

Hike up to the viewing platform of Twin Mountains — Shanghai’s iconic man-made twin peaks. Witness the sunset descending over the city, enjoy the golden sunset glow and blue-hour twilight, and watch the city gradually turn on its first lights. A panoramic city skyline photography opportunity at the blue-hour moment.

Private transfer to the Huangpu River cruise terminal. Guests must arrive at the cruise terminal on time per the guide’s instruction; the cruise departs strictly following the official published timetable.

Board the official sightseeing cruise when all riverside landmark illuminations are fully lit. Sail along the Huangpu River and admire the lit historical Bund buildings and the glittering Lujiazui skyscraper cluster from the water perspective, with unobstructed deck views of the brilliant riverside night panorama. River breeze on the cruise deck can be cool at night — please bring extra outerwear if needed.

Private transfer to the water-town district, switching from the modern river skyline to a relaxed canal-side night atmosphere.

Wander along lit canals, stone arch bridges and waterfront blocks. Enjoy the soft night lighting, water reflections and casual street-side atmosphere. Guests can freely observe local night life, browse waterfront shops or grab casual snacks at their own expense. Please keep track of personal belongings during the free stroll period.

Private car transfer back to your downtown hotel. Tour service ends.
