HuangPu River carved the lovely Bund, the prime financial real estate since China leased this area to Britain in 1870s. It slices the city into halves.<\/p>\n

ShangHai City started from the west side (PuXi) and expanded east, toward the sea. The river exacted a distance tax<\/i> to PuDong, or the east of HuangPu river. It accepted to be the lesser part of ShangHai.<\/p>\n

No more. Its rural land provided growth space for high-tech industries. The adjacency to the new airport and sea ports makes it a better choice of trade, light manufacturing, and the steel industry. PuDong is now rich, modern, and vibrant. PuXi, however, remains charming, classic, and the choice location for the best restaurants.<\/p>\n

The necessity of crossing the river is a daily nightmare. Subway network is not yet mature. Tunnels are frustrating. Bridges are inconvenient detours. Then, I found the lovely alternative: the ferry. I like ferries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

There are two commuter ferry lines (and many tourist ones). The shorter one costs 0.50 RMB and the longer one 2. A short wait beacons the boat and begins the leisure crossing. I soaked in busy river activities and understood the role this river plays to the prosperity of this biggest city of China.<\/p>\n

Then the taxi thrusted me back to the mega-city’s arteries.<\/p>\n
