Shapingba hotel to Chaotianmen Dock

My wife and I will be staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel Chongqing Sha Ping Ba in mid-April.
We would like to leave my hotel at about 6:30 pm for the Chaotianmen Dock. We want to take a night cruise on the Yangtze and Jialing rivers and then visit Hongyadong.

I know I can take Metro 1 to Xiaoshizi and walk to the dock, but I am not sure exactly how to get to the dock from the Metro station.
What buses should I take from my hotel to the Metro 1 line in Shapingba?

I would also need to get back to my hotel from Hongyadong. Can you help me with the buses I should take?

I am not sure how to recognize the correct buses. Do the buses in Hongyadong have numbers or writing in English?
Thank you
