The Aurora, an international luxury passenger liner, arrived at Shanghai's Waigaoqiao port at 6:00 am Tuesday for a 10-hour stopover in China's most prosperous city before departing for Hong Kong at 8:00 pm.
The 200-meter long, 30-meter wide liner came from Japan with more than 1,800 British and Australian passengers and nearly 900 crew.
Local customs officials finished the exit and entry procedures for the passengers in a short time in order to let them disembark as quickly as possible.
The passenger transport authorities said eight international luxury passenger liners would make stopovers in Shanghai this month.
