Summary

[edit]
Description

Our cruise on the Shanghai river casts off and here is a far shot of the Pudong skyline from the Bund. The unmistakable Oriental Pearl TV tower is prominent there- more on that later. The Huangpu River is a tributary of the mighty Yangtze and is the largest river passing through the city. The Huangpu is honored as the mother river of Shanghai. It stretches for 113 km with an average width of 400 mtr (some sites say 600mtr) and a depth of 9 mtr. The Huangpu snakes its way through Shanghai and divides the city into two sections: Pudong in the east (which you see up ahead) and Puxi in the west.

It is also the source of most of Shanghai's drinking water, after it goes through a purification process. We are supposed to be passing the water purification plant now but I did not notice it. Today, the Huangpu River is the site of a bustling tourist business in the form of river cruises. It is also an important waterway linking Shanghai to several neighbouring towns further upstream.
