The Expo Park is too big to walk around in a single day but by taking the bus, ferry or metro, visitors can see the Expo from different angles while saving precious time and energy.

Ferry

A relaxing way to tour the Expo Park is by taking an air-conditioned cruise on the Huangpu River, taking in panoramic views of the river and the Expo pavilions.
