The city of Shanghai is home to many tourist attractions and by being the most popular
city in the Peoples Republic of China, people from all parts of the world are seen in great numbers here. The Huangpu River is one of the citys foremost attractions as well as a watercourse that provides a great amount of drinking water to the people of the metropolis.
The Huangpu River also known as the Huang Xie River or the Chun Shen River that flows around most parts of Shanghai is a place where many are gathered to either see its beauty or sit beside it and reflect on its awe inspiring beauty. The 114 kilometre long river is almost yellow in colour and is ice-free all year long. This picturesque watercourse is also 400 meters wide and 9 meters deep.
Huangpu River is further an important water resource for Shanghai thus the population strives to protect it and keep it from being polluted. Some years ago, the city and the people of Shanghai suffered a severe water shortage and began consuming polluted water that flew through their domestic water resources; however, in 1996 the government initiated a project to divert water from the Huangpu River to resolve the issue.
Visitors travelling to Shanghai will be in for a delightful experience as the Huangpu River offers a number of activities. Some of these activities which can enthral you are the river bank tours on board a cruise boat or a paddle boat to suit your fancy. You will also be taken on a guided tour around the long river that overlooks a great number of picturesque sceneries and attractions.
Another spectacle among the river is the exclusive luxurious cruise along the golden waterway at the Wusong Mouth to witness the glorious three layer waters. Travellers can also stop over at the Grand View Garden to complete a great day of sightseeing.
Visitors looking for Shanghai executive apartments for accommodation will be offered a spacious and private Shanghai serviced residence that boasts luxurious settings, facilities and services at the Somerset Xu Hui, Shanghai for a memorable holiday full of pleasant memories.
