Huangpu River

The Huangpu (pronunciationⓘ), formerly romanized as Whangpoo,[2] is a 113 km-long (70 mi) river flowing north through Shanghai.

The Huangpu is the biggest river in central Shanghai, with the Suzhou Creek being its major tributary.

It is on average 400 m (1,312 ft) wide and 9 m (30 ft) deep, and divides the city into two regions: Puxi ("west of Huangpu"), the traditional city center, and Pudong ("east of Huangpu").

In March 2013, some 16,000 pig carcasses were found floating in the Huangpu River in Shanghai.

[5] Some of the pigs carried ear tags saying they were from Jiaxing, so that city in Zhejiang may be the source; One news agency indicates that dead pigs are often dumped into rivers in China to avoid the disposal cost.
