About this place

Tourist attraction is a bit of a misnomer, monstrosity might be a bit more appropriate. The tunnel transports you under Huangpu river in a cable car style pod. Unfortunately the gentle pace is by no means relaxing as you are constantly visually assaulted with a tacky light show.

The tunnel is divided into several zones such as Meteor Shower and Electrical Storm. Even Heaven and Hell are somehow represented through the medium of different coloured fairy lights. The Tourist tunnel is dazzling in both it’s brightness and pointlessness. It seems to be a by-product of China’s obsession with all things neon. If it’s bright and flashes then it must be good. Sadly in this case it falls short and should be avoided by anyone suffering from epilepsy or lacking a very strong sense of irony.

In saying that it is a relatively convenient way of getting from the Bund to Lujiazui, if you treat it as a bizarre form of transport you may be amused, as an attraction certainly disappointed and possibly slightly confused.

The entrance on Puxi is next to the Henan Middle Road subway stop (河南中路站) on subway line 2.  Buses No. 20, 22, 37 and 55 also stop near here.

The entrance on Pudong is next to the Lujiazui subway stop (陆家嘴站) on subway line 2.  Buses No. 81, 82 and 85 also stop near here.

I have been to Shanghai and the Bund many times, and every time i passes by the Sightseeing Tunnel, i always want to go inside and have a look, but as long as i saw the tickets price i will doubt if it``s really worth a visit.
