Taking a tour along the Huangpu River (also known as the Pujiang) is the best way to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river. On the eastern side of the river stand the magnificent architecture of the buildings along the Bund, as well as other sites like the Monument to the Peoples' Heroes; on the western side are the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the rapidly developing Pudong New Area, and the skyscrapers of the Lujiazui area, including the Jinmao Building. Ships of all size travel the river passing under the magnificent Yangpu and Nanpu Bridges that span the river. Going upstream, you may also catch sight of bustling ports and Bao Steel works (the largest of their kind in China). At the river's mouth, you can see the great river merging with the sea.
