My apartment isn't far from the Huangpu River, the biggest river in Shanghai. I guess some of you already know this via my cycling videos.
Last Sunday, I met two of my classmates near the bund, which is just on the other side of the river.
I arrived at the appointment restaurant by subway because it's the most punctual way in Shanghai. As I said goodbye to my classmates, I remembered that two ferries would take me to the wharves near my home, which was the shortest route back. Normally, I wouldn't choose the ferries because they are always crowded with travelers.
That day, on Sunday, I was so relaxed that I told myself "Just being a traveler". Then I took the ferry for 2 yuan.
It was as fun as I remembered.
I took a video before and when I was on the boat. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hj4EN63s4bM
At the beginning of the video, you can hear a voice from a little girl saying bye-bye to the people on the wharf. I didn't know her. She was a happy girl who stood in front of me with her grandma.
我的公寓离上海最大的河流黄浦江不远。我猜你们中的一些人已经通过我的自行车视频知道了这点。
上周日,我在外滩附近见我的两个同学,就在河的另一边。
我乘地铁到达约会的餐厅,因为这是上海最准时的出行方式。当我和同学们告别时,我想起有两艘轮渡可以把我送到我家附近的码头,这是回家的最短路线了。通常情况下,我不会选择渡轮,因为那里总是挤满了游客。
那一天,星期天,我非常放松,我告诉自己“做一个旅行者吧”。然后我花了2块钱坐渡轮。
和记忆中的一样有趣。
我在上船之前及在船上的时候都拍了一段视频。你可以在这里观看:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hj4EN63s4bM
在视频的开头,你可以听到一个小女孩对码头上的人说再见的声音。我不认识她。她是一个快乐的女孩,和她的奶奶一起站在我面前。

Takeing a fFerry Across the Huangpu River
“Take a ferry” would be correct if you were ordering someone to do this.
My apartment isn't far from the Huangpu River, the biggest river in Shanghai.
I guess some of you already know this viafrom my cycling videos.
Last Sunday, I met two of my classmates near the bBund, which is just on the other side of the river.
“Bund” is capitalized but “the” is not.
I arrivtraveled ato the appointmented restaurant by subway because it's the most {punctual | reliable} way in Shanghai.
“Arrived” is odd, because it focuses on the moment of your arrival, but this sentence is about your means of transportation. “Punctual” isn’t wrong, but I think “reliable” would be more natural.
As I said goodbye to my classmates, I remembered that {two ferries would take me | I could ride a ferry} to the wharves near my home, which was the shortest route back.
To me, your sentence could mean that you would have ride on both ferries: board one ferry, ride on it, transfer to the other, and ride it to the wharves near your home. My correction means either of them could get you there.
Normally, I wouldn't choose the ferries because they are always crowded with travelers (tourists?).
“Travelers” could mean commuters on their way to/from work. Do you mean tourists?
That day, ona Sunday, I was so relaxed that I told myself, "Just being a travelerourist".
“Tourist” makes more sense here than “traveler,” since you would still be a traveler even if you took the subway.
Then I took the ferry for 2 yuan.
If you’re going to mention both ferries earlier, and if you’re only going to take one them, not both, then change this to: “Then I took one of the ferries for 2 yuan.”
It was as fun as I remembered.

Nice video! It reminds me how much time has passed since my last trip to Shanghai. It looks like the skyline hasn’t changed much in 10 years. :-)
Takeing a ferry Aacross the Huangpu River
Since this is about you doing the action, i changed the verb to a progressive verb.
Last Sunday, I met two of my classmates near ta district called "The bBund", which is just on the other side of the river.
Because you are talking about a river I thought you meant at first 'the bend' which is a natural curve point in the river. But you're referring to a region in Shanghai with European influence and has its own Wikipedia page, so I capitalized it.
