Puxi witnesses how Shanghai have evolved in the last century while Songjiang is the place to go if you want to know what Shanghai used to be a thousand years ago. Let’s enjoy the early sun at the largest artificial lake in Songjiang, Huating Lake and Shenjingtang, the most important south-north waterway in Songjiang that flows through Huating. Within five kilometers above or below Huating, you will find four prominent examples of historical evolutions undergoing in Songjiang: Cangcheng (Warehouse Town), Thames Town, Songjiang University Town and Guangfulin Heritage. River has watched for thousands of years here: Songjiang, literally Pine River, is named for and blessed with water. With the “Songjiang 2035 Master Plan” that promotes “technological innovation, humanity and ecology” getting approved by the municipal government recently, the Huating area is expecting new opportunities. The district government intends to create a tourist ferry service between Thames Town and Guangfulin Heritage Park that integrates riverside promenades into a network. Along the river, one may appreciate the natural sceneries of Huating Lake, explore the pre-historic heritage at Guangfulin, experience youth vitality and creativity at the University Town and have a bite of Britain in Thames Town.
