Huangpu River


Nowadays the Huangpu River becomes a world famous tour bay. This river is a golden gateway of foreign trade as well as an important waterway to the Pacific Ocean from the Pudong new district. Cruising on the Huangpu river is an important traditional travel program in Shanghai. Riding a cruise boat along the Huangpu River, you will take a glimpse of Yangpu Bridge, Nanpu Bridge and Shanghai Oriental Pearl TV Tower on both sides. Various exotic architectural buildings on the west bank of Huangpu River stand opposite to various modern skyscrapers on the east bank.
Wusongkou Port, a convergent point where the Huangpu River joins the Yangtze River, is adjacent to the eastern sea. Therefore, it is a place where three streams combine.
Huangpu River, a symbol of Shanghai, originates in Dianshan Lake and empties into the Yangtze River at Wusongkou (mouth of Wusong River). It is 114 kilometers (71miles) long and 400 meters (0.25 miles) wide. Huangpu River is ice-free year round. It has also become a demarcating line between two Shanghais, east and west, past and future. On its western shore, the colonial landmarks of the Bund serve as a reminder of Shanghai's 19th-century struggle to reclaim a waterfront from the bogs of this river; on the eastern shore, the steel and glass skyscrapers of the Pudong New Area point to a burgeoning financial empire of the future.The Huangpu's wharves are the most fascinating in China. The port handles the cargo coming out of the interior from Nanjing, Wuhan, and other Yangzi River ports, including Chongqing, 2,415km (1,500 miles) deep into Sichuan Province. From Shanghai, which produces plenty of industrial and commercial products in its own right, as much as a third of China's trade with the rest of the world is conducted each year.
