- Shanghai Huangpu River Head – Scenic Overview
The Huangpu River Head is located in Dongxia Village, Shihudang Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, adjacent to the G1503 Shanghai Ring Expressway. It marks the zero-kilometer origin of the Huangpu River, which is widely recognized as the mother river of Shanghai. At this location, two rivers—Xietang River and Yuanxie Creek—flow from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and converge to form a delta-shaped landmass. This area then connects to the Huangpu River via Hengliao Creek, making it a geographically and hydrologically significant site. The convergence of three waterways creates a distinctive riverside landscape: expansive mist-covered waters, boats navigating the currents, fishing nets rising and falling along the banks, reeds swaying on the river beach, and seasonal blossoms such as willows and peach trees lining the shore. These features reflect the traditional scenery of Jiangnan water towns and are the inspiration behind the name “Huangpu River Head.” The scenic area includes both above-ground and underground structures. Above ground, visitors will find the Shuliu Liyun Pagoda and Chunshen Hall. Underground, the Water Culture Exhibition Hall presents historical and cultural insights into the region’s water heritage. Architecturally, the site combines classical Chinese elements—such as arch-style structures and bracket sets—with modern features like floor-to-ceiling windows and glazed tiles, offering a blend of tradition and contemporary design. The landscape design follows Jiangnan-style garden principles and incorporates native plant species including ginkgo, locust trees, and weeping willows, highlighting the essence of traditional Chinese horticulture. While the Huangpu River flows through central Shanghai, its source lies in Songjiang. Historically, the Wusong River nurtured ancient Shanghai, and the Huangpu River has supported the development of modern Shanghai and its surrounding water culture. The Huangpu River Head embodies the dynamic relationship between the city and its river—coexisting and evolving together. Huangpu River Head is not only a geographical landmark but also a cultural symbol, where the legacy of the past meets the aspirations of the future.
