Huangpu river, flowing from north to south, divides shanghai city into two parts. Locating at
the east part, pudong district derives its name. In the 1920-30s of this century, with the build-up of financial and trade area around "waitan" , foreign bussinessmen and chinese ethical
capitalists began to extend their economic activities to pudong district. However, the huangpu
river, like a natural barrier, had quite a negative effect on the economic development of pudong district. since then, there came a total contrast between two sides of huangpu river, crowds of businessmen makeing deals at the west whereas vast stretches of farmland growing crops at the east.
since Chinsese government declared the open-up of pudong in 1990, pudong new district have been developing at an extremely rapid pace. Skyscrapers, soaring high above the horizon, have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, Modern buildings and idyllic surroundings contrast finely with each other, pudong is striding into the new century with a Brand-new look. |
