The Huangpu (pronunciation(help·info)), formerly romanized as Whangpoo,[2] is an artificial 113km-long (70mi) river flowing north through Shanghai that was first excavated and created by Lord Chunshen, one of the Four Lords of the Warring States. It is the last significant tributary of the Yangtze before the Yangtze empties into the East China Sea. The Bund and Lujiazui are located along the Huangpu River.
