  • Join me as I travel on a revitalized Suzhou Creek by ebike from the 1000 trees development near the M50 art space all the way to the Bund. The weather was very good again.
    Suzhou Creek (or Soochow Creek), also called the Wusong (Woosung) River, is a river that passes through the Shanghai city center. It is named after the neighboring city of Suzhou (Soochow), Jiangsu, the predominant settlement in this area prior to the rise of Shanghai as a metropolis.[citation needed]
    One of the principal outlets of Lake Tai in Wujiang District of Suzhou, Suzhou Creek is 125 km (78 mi) long, of which 54 km are within the administrative region of Shanghai and 24 km within the city's highly urbanized parts. It flows into the Huangpu River at the northern end of the Bund in Huangpu District.
    Since 1992, the Shanghai Municipal Government has been pursuing a redevelopment of the area. In 1998, authorities launched the Suzhou Creek Rehabilitation Project, a 12-year-program to improve the water quality, mitigate flood impact, introduce wastewater and water resource management and push for urban revitalization and a higher living standard in the desolated areas along Suzhou River. In the meantime, Suzhou River is considered clean enough to host annual rowing competitions.
    Due to its location in the former International Settlement, a number of landmarks from that period can be found along or close to Suzhou Creek. Following the river westward from its confluence, important or famous places include:
    Huangpu Park and the northern end of the Bund
    Astor House Hotel
    Consulate-General of Russia
    Shanghai Mansions (previously Broadway Mansions)
    Shanghai General Post Office
    Suzhou Creek Art District ("M50")
    Sihang Warehouse
    Fotografiska Gallery
    Beer Lady
    1908 Art Space

    The lane along the river bank is perfect for running/jogging.

    I'm always impressed with how bicycle friendly Shanghai appears to be. Is that accurate?

      Suzhou creek riverside paths are a standout, the main roads with cars and pedestrians can be … difficult at times

    can we go to Suzhou Creek by the Metro. We are staying at Nanjing East Station

    • @timmytumbler
      @timmytumbler  23 години тому

      Yes you can, there are several metro stations close to the creek, probably the closest being Xinhua on line 1, but if you are at Nanjing east then just take line 10 north by one stop and walk 2-300m south
