Not far from Fangbang Lu is the Huang Pu Ferry terminal. For less than US$0.10 you can take a ferry across the Huang Pu river and, from the Fangbang Lu area, its actually the fastest way to get across. If your legs are still working after a day of shopping and eating, have a relaxing boat ride to Pudong. Walk down Dong Men Lu to the Ferry terminal, currently nestled beside a new construction project. Give the teller a 5 Mao piece (the small brassy one) and she will give you a plastic coin which you deposit at the entrance (subway cards work too). Wait for the next boat with the bicycles, motorbikes, and people and sit back and relax as the boat plays 'Frogger' dodging the fast moving freighters and other tour boats. The whole trip takes about 10-15 minutes as you can hear in the recording and offers nice views of both sides of the river. Walk north to the Pudong promenade and end the day at the Paulaner Brauhaus, Starbucks, Haagen-Dazs, and other small cafes as the sun sets over the Bund Skyline. 81 1.0
