Shanghai, China: Huangpu River tour; things to do

Huangpu River tour 


The Huangpu River winds north from its source at Dingshan Lake for about 70 miles to Wusong Kou, where it meets the Yangtze River.  It passes through Shanghai in the middle for about 24 miles.  Though narrow and shallow, the river is important to China's international trade, city water supplies, and fishing.  It’s also a popular route for tourist boats to view the skyscrapers of Pudong and the buildings of the Bund, which are especially stunning when they are lit up in the evening.
