A salt-lashed wind meets the car window as you cross Donghai (East Sea) Bridge — 32.5 kilometers of concrete that curves like a deliberate S across the mouth of Hangzhou Bay. From the deck, rows of wind turbines and the low, restless swell of the East China Sea push the view outward; gulls wheel and dare you to look away.

A salt-lashed wind meets the car window as you cross Donghai (East Sea) Bridge — 32.5 kilometers of concrete that curves like a deliberate S across the mouth of Hangzhou Bay. From the deck, rows of wind turbines and the low, restless swell of the East China Sea push the view outward; gulls wheel and dare you to look away.
This private day tour moves from urban Shanghai into engineered coastline: the Donghai Bridge (opened mid-2000s) that links the mainland to Yangshan Deep Water Port, the largest artificial island port in the world. Yangshan sits where the Yangtze meets the sea; berths can reach depths of roughly 15 meters to accept the world’s largest container ships. Nearby Dishui Lake — a 5.6 km² artificial freshwater basin in Lingang New City — provides a calm counterpoint to the port’s scale.
History here is modern infrastructure: the bridge and port were built in phases to extend Shanghai’s shipping reach and reshape the local coastline. Geology is simple — soft estuarine mud and reclaimed islands — but ecology is active, with migratory shorebirds and coastal fisheries adapting to rapid change.
Practical guidance: allow a full 8 hours for pick-up, transit and stops; bring photo ID for port access; wear stable shoes for a short, moderate shoreline hike and a light windlayer for exposed sections on the bridge. Timing matters — morning light is best for photos, and a local guide will handle permits and logistics so you can focus on the scale of sea and steel.
Yes — the itinerary notes admission to the port is included; your guide will handle access and any required permissions.
Public pedestrian access is restricted; the tour includes viewpoints and driving across the bridge so you can see turbines and sea without needing to walk the deck.
The tour listing indicates wheelchair accessibility for transport and many viewing areas, but some short hiking paths in the scenic area may be uneven—check specific needs when booking.
Yes — private hotel pickup and drop-off within Shanghai is included; confirm your pickup point when you book.
