A regular hop-on, hop-off cruise on the Huangpu River is to be launched, stringing attractions along the banks of the river, the city's Huangpu River cruise operator said on Wednesday. A timetable is yet to be announced, while a cruise ship sailing between the Shanghai International Fashion Center, once the largest textile mill in Asia, in Yangpu District and Jinling Road E. dock in Huangpu District is expected to start operation next month, according to the Shanghai Huangpu River Cruise Control. "Only a single ticket is required and people can take the ship multiple times a day," said Wang Yi, general manager of the company.
