Suzhou River generally refers to the Shanghai section of Wusong River, starting from Beixinjing, Changning District, Shanghai in the west and reaching Waibaidu Bridge in Huangpu District in the east, with a beautiful coastline of 42 kilometers. Before the Suzhou River was connected, many waterfront areas on both sides of the Suzhou River belonged to residential areas, enterprises and institutions. People's cities are built by the people, and people's cities serve the people. After the Suzhou Creek Connection Plan was launched, Shanghai has done all kinds of coordination work, and has also received the cooperation of residents in residential areas and some units. Therefore, Shanghai citizens and tourists can feel the more beautiful scenery of Suzhou River.
There are many buildings with a long history on both sides of Suzhou Creek, among which Sihou Warehouse is one of the most famous. In addition, there are the Postal Museum, Binjiang Building, Shanghai Building, the former site of the General Chamber of Commerce, Fuxin Flour Factory, etc.

Yu Zidao, a professor of history at Fudan University and one of the planners of the reconstruction of the Temple Lane Warehouse Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, told the reporter of International Finance News that at that time, the Temple Lane Warehouse was located on the bank of Suzhou River and took a fancy to the shipping capacity of Suzhou River.
In order to experience the beauty of Suzhou Waterfront after its completion, the reporter personally visited the beautiful scenery along Suzhou River by bike, which can be said that seeing is believing. The completed Suzhou Waterfront is definitely one of the best routes to visit Shanghai and an excellent way to understand the history of Shanghai.
The story of Suzhou Creek
The manhole covers on both sides of Suzhou Creek are specially designed, incorporating distinctive Suzhou Creek elements.
Although the Suzhou River has not been open for a long time, many citizens along the line have come to rest and take pictures. There are middle-aged and elderly people living nearby, photographers who come to "punch in" across regions with photographic equipment, and couples who are close to each other come to take wedding photos. A middle-aged female citizen told reporters, "Suzhou River used to stink, but it has been much better in recent years. I also heard that it is connected here, so I came to take photos with my friends. "

Suzhou River is "narrow and tight, with dense buildings and dense roads". In the future, according to the spatial planning and resource endowment of the riverside area, we will build more functional nodes with rich types, vitality and fireworks according to local conditions, and gradually form a spatial pattern of "long vines and long melons" on both sides of a river.
It is reported that the Huangpu section will combine the transformation of old areas and urban renewal to build the South Suzhou River into a Shanghai-style Expo with 2.9 kilometers of content, memory and vitality.
Hongkou section is nearly 1 km from Waibaidu Bridge to Henan Luqiao, which is the most representative waterfront of Suzhou River. With the goal of "the most beautiful living room on the beach", we will create a high-quality waterfront public space with historical and cultural charm. The observation deck of Shanghai Building at the intersection of one river and one river has been completed and opened, and many historical buildings along the route, such as the Postal Museum and Binjiang Building, will be slightly updated one after another, which will become one of the best photographic attractions of "One River and One River" in Shanghai in the future.
The design concept of Jing 'an Plate is "Shanghai's new landmark, dreaming back to Suhewan". Through comprehensive transformation and upgrading, the whole line will focus on creating waterfront public spaces such as waterfront balcony, riverside pearl and historical corridor. The "Butterfly Bay" on the south bank is embedded in sports facilities such as basketball courts when the land is relatively cramped. The new sports venues have enriched the space functions, and important nodes such as the former site of the General Chamber of Commerce, the four-row warehouse and the Fuxin flour mill on the North Shore have also re-appeared with a brand-new look.
Putuo section undertakes the reconstruction task of about 2 1km of the "half of the country" where Suzhou River flows. Around the four theme plates of changshou road, Caojiadu, Changfeng and Long March, the integration of residential quarters along the river, Wenchuang Industrial Park and waterfront public space will be realized.
The whole line of Changning section is about 1 1 km, which is a riverside fitness trail with Changning cultural landscape characteristics, connecting Kong Lin Park, Fengling Green Space and Hongqiao Riverside in series.
The outer ring road and the east coastline of Jiading section are about 700 meters long. In the future, it will be combined with the urban renewal of "South Four Blocks" to create a compound waterfront with post-industrial humanity and leisure ecology.
The beautification project of Suzhou Creek is still in progress.
