PASSENGER TRAFFIC ON THE HUANGPU RIVER
Considerable water traffic sails along this broad and deep river throughout the day. Ferries transfer passengers between the "BUND" and Pudong. Tourists enjoy cruising the river vistas of Shanghai and Pudong. Some cruises sail to the Shanghai Docks while others continue to the junction of the Huangpu and Yangzi rivers. Wherever they travel, ships' Captains must be very alert to avoid the multitude of vessels sailing up, down and across the river.
