Shanghai's lifeblood river, which neatly bisects the city into east and west, is also one of its biggest tourist attractions. Here, families can amble along the Bund on the west bank as they learn about Shanghai's colonial heritage. Children can also let off steam in Huangpu Park (the city's oldest). One of the best and most fun ways for families to explore the Huangpu River, though, is by boat. Myriad cruises depart from the Bund every day and typically take in iconic attractions like the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Yangpu and Nanpu suspension bridges, and the Waibaidu Bridge, as well as the towering glass-and-steel skyscrapers that dominate Pudong on the east bank.
