The boat slips away from the Huangpu’s edge and the city lights sharpen: neon faces the calm black water, while colonial facades on the Bund watch the modern skyline light up across the river. Standing on deck, the current seems to push the city forward — skyscrapers rise like stages and the river dares you to look closer.
