Introduction
The Huangpu River is Shanghai's mother river, ~113 km from Dianshan Lake through the city to the Yangtze at Wusong, splitting old Puxi from new Pudong. Its banks gather the Bund's 'Exhibition of International Architecture,' Lujiazui's skyscrapers (Oriental Pearl, Shanghai Tower, SWFC) and lively riverside walks — the natural axis of Shanghai's 'ancient-modern, East-West' character. A night cruise mirrors neon on the water, bridges glowing — the romance of the 'Magic City'; morning ferries and freighters tell of its role as a golden waterway and economic lifeline.
