Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Drone and Fireworks Show available every day?

Any evening show is subject to the published schedule and weather conditions and is not guaranteed.

What should I prepare for the visit to Yangshan Port and Donghai Bridge?

Since we will be crossing the 32.5km Donghai Bridge and visiting the mid-hill viewpoint, we recommend bringing a light jacket as it can be quite windy at sea. Also, don't forget your camera (drones are not allowed) or smartphone, as the rows of offshore wind turbines and the automated terminal offer incredible photo opportunities. 

How do we get from the Maritime Museum to the bookstore?

The distance between the China Maritime Museum and Duoyun Bookstore is approximately 1.2 kilometers. You can choose to enjoy a leisurely 15-minute walk along the lake or use a shared bicycle for a quick 5-minute ride, allowing you to soak in the modern atmosphere of the Lingang area.

Can we enter Yangshan Port?

No. Yangshan Port is not open for visits on this tour. We view it from a distant viewpoint, with expert explanations of port infrastructure and logistics. Visibility depends on the weather.

Do we visit research facilities in Zhangjiang?

No. Zhangjiang is primarily a drive-through part of the route, rather than a research-facility visit.

Is a particular season best for this tour?

The experience is not tied to a particular season. Clear weather matters more: fog, rain and other adverse conditions can limit views of the bridge, offshore wind turbines and port.

Is this suitable for families, schools or company groups?

The tour is designed for engineering enthusiasts and curious learners, including families. It includes extended driving and some walking. The standard group size is up to six guests. Larger custom groups may be accommodated for schools and companies. Please contact us before booking to discuss your group size and requirements.
