The 113km Huangpu river, known as Shanghai’s mother river and the city’s largest river, flows through Shanghai and is the last tributary of the Yangtze river before empties into the east China sea.
This magical river runs through downtown Shanghai and divides it into two areas: Puxi (west bank) and Pudong (east bank). Puxi is home to the “international architecture exhibition”, with a wide variety of international architectural styles and historical tourist attractions. The east or Pudong is the development of recent decades and is a new business and financial district, boasting many stunning glass and steel towers such as the Shanghai Oriental pearl tower, Shanghai tower, Shanghai world finance tower and Jin MAO tower.
