Private Transfer to Donghai Bridge & Yangshan Port from Shanghai

Drive across China's longest sea bridge to watch container ships at the world's biggest port.

A private transfer from Shanghai to the Donghai Bridge, China's first sea-crossing bridge, and Yangshan Deep Water Port, the world's largest deep-water port, with hotel pickup and drop-off. The viewing platform at Yangshan Port opens after 5:00 PM, so this tour departs in the afternoon and takes six to eight hours.

The experience

Your driver picks you up from your Shanghai hotel in the afternoon and drives 1.5 hours to the Donghai Bridge, a 30-kilometer sea-crossing bridge and the first of its kind in China. The route itself is the draw here: you cross one of the world's largest bridges over open water, with views of the East Sea the whole way. After crossing, you head to Yangshan Deep Water Port, where container ships move through what is officially the world's biggest deep-water port by cargo volume.

At Yangshan, you get a short walk along the viewing road and time to photograph the port and the ships. The access road and platform are closed during daylight hours, so entry typically opens after 5:00 PM. This timing is not guaranteed, and the operator notes it as a condition of booking. After your time at the port, your driver takes you back to your Shanghai hotel, completing the six- to eight-hour outing.

Your driver speaks basic English only. If you need information or have questions during the drive, you can use the driver's mobile phone to reach the local operator. The tour runs in all weather, so bring appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes for the short walk at the port.

Is this one for you?The afternoon departure and six- to eight-hour duration mean you'll spend the day on the bridge and port. This works best if you have a full afternoon and evening free, or if you're building the outing into a longer stay in Shanghai rather than squeezing it between other plans.
