Huangpu River in Shanghai

The Huangpu River (simplified Chinese: 黄浦江; traditional Chinese: 黃浦江; pinyin: Huángpǔ Jiāng; Wade-Giles: Huang-p'u Chiang; literally "Yellow Bank River") is a 97km-long river in China flowing through Shanghai.

Huangpu River is the largest river in Shanghai, and Suzhou Creek is its main branch.

It is an average of 400 meters wide and 9 meters deep. Shanghai gets most of its drinking water from the Huangpu, which thus plays an important part for the metropolis. It divides the city into two regions: Pudong (east) and Puxi (west).
