Ferry across the Huang Pu

A short walk from our appartment is a ferry terminal which lets you cross the HuangPu River [huang pu jiang 黄浦江] for the tidy sum of 0.5 RMB [wu jiao 五角], if you are on foot, 1.3RMB if you are on a bicycle [zi xing che 自行车].

There are two ferrys constantly running from east to west side of the river, taking no more than 15mins from the time you arrive and buy your little token (if you are paying by cash) or tap your transportation card on the appropriate reader until you pop off at the other side. There are always lots of scooters, usually laden with their load rushing to get off, long with a good few people on foot enjoying the view while they cross.
