Hu Qiaokun, a tourist from Kunming, Yunnan Province, said he was amazed by the beautiful view of the Huangpu River when he boarded the first cruise ship to resume operations since the coronavirus outbreak on Sunday night.

There will be four tours each day between March 15 and 22, with ships departing from the No. 1 cruise pier at Shiliupu from 5:30pm at one-hour intervals, the Shanghai Huangpu River Cruise Co announced. Each trip lasts 50 minutes.

Hu and his wife were the first passengers to board on the first ship at around 4:45pm.

"We just arrived in Shanghai this morning and took a stroll on the Bund in the afternoon," Hu told Shanghai Daily.

He said the travel plan was set late last year and they felt lucky that tourist attractions are reopening.

"The night view of the Huangpu River is glamorous and the skyscrapers on both sides of the river look magnificent," said Hu. "The tour is very pleasant."

Lin Haiqing, a Shanghai resident, bought ticket at the scene with his son.

"The weather is good and we want to breathe some fresh air onboard," said Lin, who lives in Hongkou District.

"I only visited places near my home during the epidemic," said Lin.

"I took a river tour many years ago which impressed me and the view is even more beautiful now," he said.

“I learnt the news of the resumption when I took the hop-on and hop-off bus today," said Xi Qing who works at a medical company in Shanghai. "

"We haven't dared to go out for almost two months so I took my son out today to enjoy Shanghai's spring," he said. "The Huangpu River's night view is more beautiful than daytime from the ship, and it is really worth a visit."

Si Nan who works in suburban Jinshan District boarded the ship with his son and wife.

"My son said he wanted to take the ship because we have been kept at home for almost two months," he said.

"I am excited about the tour and I am eager to get out," added the 8-year-old boy.

"The disinfection on the ship is thorough, which eliminates our concern," said Si.

The number of passengers is kept below half capacity, or 125, for now. The actual number on the first ship was only 20.

"We currently only operate form the No. 1 dock at Shiliupu with four tours daily," said Hou Wenqing, chairman of Shanghai Huangpu River Cruise Co.

"Passengers must make real-name purchases to ensure their information can be traced," he said.
