Century-old Yuyuan Road & Suzhou Creek Boat Trip Day Tour
Stroll along century-old Yuyuan Road and cruise Suzhou Creek on one route linking Shanghai’s historic river, streets and lanes.
Product Introduction
Suzhou Creek is Shanghai’s mother river, and Yuyuan Road is one of the city’s most storied roads. This route neatly links the two, with an alternating pace of “walking exploration + sightseeing cruise” so visitors can experience the city’s historic fabric in depth without getting too tired. Starting from the bell tower lawn on the century-old campus of East China University of Political Science and Law, the route follows the river to the university’s historic building complex. In the afternoon, walk beneath the plane trees of Yuyuan Road, moving between former residences of famous figures and independent cafés. Finally, board a Suzhou Creek cruise and travel east from the former Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce pier to Waibaidu Bridge, arriving at the Rockbund area in the glow of sunset. With a well-balanced pace and many photo spots, this is an excellent choice for WorldSkills guests to understand Shanghai’s urban heritage.
