What come into the eyes of tourist along the Huangpu river five or ten year later will be all-new visage: the dull factories and inanimate warehouse has gone,and there come instead spacious Greenland, smooth building, elegant hydro-bus…etc. Huangpu river, the mother river of shanghai has started a new round of development and construction. This century campaign will be carried out on both sides of the Huangpu river of 2,260 hectares south from Lupu bridge and north to Xiangyin road——Wuzhou avenue. A new dream of shanghai is to emerge from under the“river”. Let's take the blueprint of the both sides of Huangpu river, from north to south, to long for the future new appearance of the mother river and experience the future beautiful view in this place.

Yangpu Bridge: ramble on the greenland to enjoy the river view </STRONG>

Supposed we start from near the Yangpu Bridge, right now, the factories, warehouses and loading yard previously set up on the both side of Huangpu river have been transformed into the Binjiang housing zone, featured in the tradition of this city, office park and yacht dock. It mixes multiple functions of the residence, leisure activities and tourism. On the both sides of the bridge are wide-field bridge park, you can visit the travel base of Antarctic exploratory search. In order not to prevent the enjoying of the grand appearance of the Yangpu Bridge, no high building surrounding the park is permitted. You can ramble on the small Greenland in Bingjiang zone, enjoying the riverside view and sightseeing some retained boatyard dock. As you walk a little further, you can also see the ancient trails in shanghai of the warehouses and offices in Yangjing port. A commensal area of residence and work will be created in Yangpu Bridge district. The factories, docks and warehouses along the river will be transformed into locations of residence, leisure activity, tour places and offices, stimulating“multiplier effect”of commensal activities. In respect of landscaping, it is emphasized to exert the effect of vision porch of the waterside road, highlight the symbol status of the Yangpu Bridge with the road network 45°angled to the riverside and incorporate the history building and community center into newly featured public architecture in vision focus.

North Bond and shipyard belt: approach water platform and feel the breeze from the river

Head for south to north Bond——Shanghai shipyard belt. The berth the shanghai shipyard left has been changed to a comprehensive location for shopping, entertainment and museum. After happy shopping and appreciation of the art in the museum, you can either go to the dock to take the yacht to travel on the river, or step down the water platform to touch the water of the Huangpu river. Don't forget to visit the symbolic architecture of international passenger transportation center, its primary building looks like magnolia, and the whole appearance looks like old sail. Striking landscaping effect will be created in the future north Bond district parallel to that of the Central Bond and Lu Jiazui central zone based on the construction of international passenger center and reconstruction of shanghai shipyard as well as the geographic feature of the intersection of the bend of Huangpu river and Suzhou river. Arch stayed-cable pedestrian bridge, artificial island, telpher, all these elaborate works of international architect in shanghai will emerge on the Huangpu river. As the extension and supplement to the Lu Jiazui center, shanghai shipyard district will absorb the experience of entertainment facility construction in Montreal Bingshui zone and mix together the museum, business office, commercial and let & service apartment.

Shiliupu——Dongchang road : take hydro-bus for nostalgia

Keep heading for north, you will arrive at the familiar Shiliupu——Dongchang area. The 16th Pu has been reconstructed into water tour terminal where you can try the hydro-bus. The warehouse built in thirties of 20th century on the north part of Dongchang port now has been reconstructed into featured holiday market with a value of modern shopping center. It is said that it referred to the practice of legacy industrial warehouse protection in Sydney lithosphere zone, reminding you of the retained cultural aroma around the side of Huangpu river when you linger in the market. The Jinling road——Dongchang road ferry station and East fuxing road——Yangjiadu ferry station in this district have also been retained. Shiliupu——Dongchang is north adjacent to the Bond and Lu Jiazui center zone, west adjacent to the Yuyuan old city shopping and touring zone, east adjacent to newly developed high-end housing zones such as Renheng Bingjiang zone and Juyuan zone. Since its location in between the Bond & Lu Jiazui center zone and the reconstructed zone, the Shiliupu and Dongchang dock will link the history and future, while the old and new will coexist in this district. To the north of East-gate road in Puxi is the comprehensive zone of travel, restaurant, entertainment, while to the south of East-gate road is commercial business zone, and to the south of Shangcheng road is planned to be high-rise housing.

Nanpu Bridge: Ramble in the riverside island

Head for south further, you'll approach the Nanpu Bridge, vast of open Greenland extend to the hinterland, large culture, teaching and sport facility spread out in front of you one by one. The Jiangnan shipyard and Qiuxin shipyard with hundred years of history have been transferred and reconstructed, only some buildings and architecture of historical value have been retained. On another hand, a great idea of an architect may have been brought into reality: excavate an inland river on the Puxi end of South Xizang road to form a huge artificial island. The former berth and dock of Jiangnan shipyard will be reconstructed into a comprehensive location for shopping, entertainment and service. You'd better not miss the unique opportunity to ramble in the riverside island. Near the Nanpu Bridge, a comprehensive community of life, entertainment and work is established based on the current modern housing zones to attract dwellers of multiple levels to live in and carry out activities. Once the river-center island is established, the Bingshui coastline will be extended and turn to be an activity center of metropolis charm. If it is honored to hold the 2010 Expos in this place, the construction of the both side of the river will be further facilitated based on the large international exhibitions.
