At the head of the Pujiang River, the Huangpu River winds out from here

The Huangpu River, known as the mother river of Shanghai, is the last tributary of the Yangtze River before it rushes to the East China Sea. It is about 113 kilometers long and cleverly divides Shanghai into Pudong and Puxi. As for the origin of the Huangpu River, it is closely related to Huang Xie, the Lord of Chunshen during the Warring States Period, so it is also called Chunshenpu or Huangxiepu. Two of the three major tributaries of the upper Huangpu River converge in a village in Shihuadang Town, Songjiang, forming a magnificent delta, which is the starting point of the Huangpu River, so it is called 'the head of the Pujiang River'. In the 'Head of the Pujiang River' park, people set up Chunshen Hall to commemorate Lord Chunshen Huang Xie. In front of Chunshen Hall, there is a tall 'Shuliuyun' pagoda, which enshrines the Water Dragon King and faces the vast Huangpu River majestically. In front of Chunshen Hall, there is a huge stone, a stele, and a nameplate. The stone is engraved with the four characters 'Head of the Pujiang River', the stele details the historical changes here, and the nameplate marks the special sign of 'Zero Kilometer of the Pujiang River'. This historic river is not only the water source of Shanghai, but also a witness to the city's prosperity and development. The beautiful scenery and rich historical and cultural background of the Huangpu River attract countless tourists to appreciate and visit.
