Part 1: A trip on the Shanghai river ferries traveling from Pudong to Puxi (east to west)

Summary: The river ferries cross the Huangpu River offer a faster and more colorful way to travel between the western Puxi and eastern Pudong sides of Shanghai. Popular with locals they are too often ignored by visitors. Reasonable in cost (just 1.5 RMB) with the terminal strategically located near many key points of interest, the ferries offer a genuine slice of life in Shanghai. In this part 1 we board the ferry on the eastern Pudong side and cross to Puxi.
