Huangpu River and the Bund
Cruising
on the Huangpu River, one can enjoy a sight of rows of magnificent buildings
on the banks and ships of different sizes briskly plying the Huangpu River.
Originating in Dianshan Lake in Shanghai, it runs its way for about 114
meters and finally flows into the East China Sea in Wusongkou. With a
width of 400 meters, the river is an important transporting waterway.
Boating along the Huangpu River, visitors could take a glimpse of the
yesterday and today of Shanghai. On one side of the river is the bund,
which is regarded as a landmark as well as the birthplace of Shanghai.
With a length of 1 km, the bund is dotted with various grandiose, solid
buildings of western style dating back to the early 20th century. Due
to these imposing buildings, the bund is also reputed as "an international
exhibition of architecture". Compared to the west, east of the bund
is a newly developing Shanghai.
Now, a 646.7-meter-long sightseeing tunnel, connecting the bund to the
Oriental Pearl TV Tower is complete and was opened to the public in October
2000, through which visitors can experience a marvelous trip under water.
