The Shanghai Port International Cruise Terminal is located north of the Bund in the Hongkou District in Puxi. It’s close to a number of popular Shanghai attractions, including the Bund, Nanjing Road, and the modern skyscrapers of Pudong. Taxis, buses, and trains are available for those traveling farther afield, while many shore excursions offer port pickup and drop-off.
The official language in Shanghai is Mandarin Chinese, but you may hear many other dialects and variations. English is not widely spoken, so if you venture away from the port on your own, it’s best to have your destination and cruise port written down in Chinese to show to taxi drivers. The official currency is the yuan (or RMB). ATMs are plentiful, and you can also exchange money at banks by showing your passport.
