Everything you need to know about Minpu Bridge
Shanghai Minhang Wanda Reign Hotel is ideal, located just a 10-minute walk from Minpu Bridge's scenic viewing platform. Its floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking views of the Huangpu River and the bridge’s elegant steel structure. Nearby, Pujian Riverside Park provides a peaceful retreat for morning walks or evening strolls.
For a more luxurious option, consider InterContinental Shanghai World Expo, slightly farther but featuring a river-view terrace restaurant perfect for dinner with panoramic views of the bridge’s illuminated night display. Both hotels provide complimentary parking and private shuttle services, ensuring seamless access to the bridge and surrounding attractions.
Take Metro Line 5 to Xidu Station, then walk 800 meters south to reach the Minpu Bridge viewing platform. Alternatively, drive via the Outer Ring Expressway to Hongmei South Road—approximately 30 minutes from central Shanghai. Visit during sunset to witness the stunning contrast between the setting sun and the bridge’s first illuminated lights.
The platform features benches, photo zones, and shaded areas ideal for capturing the full span of the bridge and its reflection on the Huangpu River. Some visitors rent bicycles to ride along the riverside path, enjoying a serene "bridge-and-river leisure ride" experience.
Don’t miss the Huangpu River night cruise departing from the Puxi side—passing beneath Minpu Bridge to experience the dramatic interplay of steel structure and ambient lighting. For adventure seekers, try paddleboarding along the riverbank guided by certified instructors, offering dynamic perspectives of the bridge’s silhouette.
Winter brings organized cross-bridge walking events, covering about 2 kilometers along the pedestrian path with safety support. The area also hosts outdoor yoga sessions and community art exhibitions, blending nature, wellness, and culture into a distinctive "bridge-side slow travel" atmosphere.
Minpu Bridge’s night lighting features a dominant warm golden hue, powered by smart-controlled LED systems that adjust brightness and color temperature by season and festival. From 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM daily, the structure displays dynamic light patterns—especially during Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year’s Eve, when themed light shows like "Moon Over the Bridge" or "River of Stars" illuminate the skyline.
Side walkways and illuminated pillars create a glowing corridor mirrored in the river below. For photography enthusiasts, use drones or long-exposure camera techniques to capture the contrast between the static bridge and flowing light effects.
