China\u2019s largest city by population and also its striking cultural and tourism hub is the breathtaking city of Shanghai. To experience the rich cultural heritage, the divine wonders, multiple tourist attractions, great structures and unique building of China at their very best, all you need to do is plan a trip to Shanghai and we\u2019ll be glad to assist you in doing so. Over the past 20 years, Shanghai<\/a><\/strong> has made its name when it comes to quality tourism and in developing brilliant tourist destinations. That is why we\u2019re rather glad to offer cheap airline tickets from the UK to the sensational city of Shanghai for a trip that you will never be able to forget.<\/p>\n

One site that is absolutely essential to visit whilst in Shanghai is the brilliant, the majestic and the glorious \u2018Huangpu River\u2019. Formerly known as the \u2018Chunshen River\u2019, this is a branch of the lower reaches of the magnificent Yangtze River. To watch its majestic flow and feel the calm switches of the water is guaranteed to give you an undeniable exhilarating feeling that is worth cherishing.<\/p>\n

Wriggling like an undulating dragon all the way from Wusong to the East Sea, this yellow ice free river is 400 meters wide and about 114 kilometers long with an average depth of about 9 meters. Not only is it a beautiful site worth seeing but all its functions must also be appreciated. Used for shipping, fishing, flood discharge, drinking water, tourism and plenty other things, what this offers is certainly unique and rare. It is also home to the ever famous Shanghai port and therefore also a trading and transportation hub.<\/p>\n

What tourists seem to love the most about this place is perhaps the traditional Huangpu River Cruise. Cruises along the river are available every day, be it a long unwinding trip or a relatively shorter one. These cruises start from the bund and then move upstream. Taking one of these will indeed be a fantastic idea and we recommend you take one at night time and one during the day. As you cruise along the river, under the bright sun, you will have a wonderful view of the Shanghai city and experience what it\u2019s all about. This will be a fun experience for you and your family and you will get to see a whole new side of the city, and that too, from above the water.<\/p>\n

At night time, it is a whole new experience. Feel the soft waves under your feet and appreciate the starry night sky as you drift along the well lit buildings and towers creating a truly breathtaking view. The soothing ambiance and the pleasant breeze will make you feel alive and refresh your senses. It is also a perfect getaway for you and your loved one to relax and rewind, away from the busy city life and in the calm surrenders of nature at its very might.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re lucky, you might even see the occurrence of the flood tide where you\u2019d see the sensational spectacle of three waters mingling together at one point; these include the blue colored water from the East China Sea, the blue-grey water from the Huangpu and the yellow colored water, accompanied by silt from the Yangtze River. If this isn\u2019t the definition of fantastic then we don\u2019t know what is! Moreover, you can also catch a glimpse of the \u2018Oriental Pearl TV tower\u2019 which is Asia\u2019s tallest TV tower in addition to many other spectacular views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
