Huangpu River

The Huangpu River, stretching for over 71 miles (113 kilometers) and averaging 1,312 feet (400 meters) in width, flows through the heart of Shanghai, dividing the city into two distinct areas. Puxi, on the western bank, is known for its historical, cultural, and entertainment landmarks, while Pudong, to the east, is the bustling business and financial hub. Visitors can experience the contrast between the traditional and modern aspects of Shanghai by exploring both sides of the river, each offering a unique glimpse into the city’s rich tapestry.
