As the cruise boat passes by the Bund, you will relive the simplicity of old Shanghai, as if you have gone back to that historic era. The Bund, which began to be built in the middle of the 19th century, is the starting point of the whole concession area and even the whole modern urban development of Shanghai. In 1848, Chinese people used this area as a wharf, and soon a number of British companies such as Jardine Matheson and American companies such as Russell & Company were established here. Later, it gradually became the sovereign center of various concessions.
Along the way, there are Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and other styles of architectures, so that you can enjoy the charm of Shanghai architecture. Then you can see the Lujiazui financial district, which has some international influence. Not only that, you can also have a close-up view of the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai International Convention Center, Jinmao Tower, Shanghai International Finance Center, Shanghai Tower and so on.
Here you will also be provided with an elegant dining environment. For example, “Captain 8” cruise ship has 7 independent private rooms in different styles, which can support you to customize all kinds of banquets. The boat can also be changed according to different dining needs and habits for you. The deluxe business rooms on the third floor are characterized by luxury and elegance, which are widely favored and sought after by Chinese and foreign diners.
