A bit off the beaten track in the northeast of the city, Yangpu district borders the banks of the Huangpu River. It is another part of the city that has developed in no time at all: In addition to the large well-respected universities of Fudan and Tongji, historic factory sites, futuristic industrial complexes, and the large Gongqing Forest Park, new attractions are popping up like mushrooms and are well worth a visit.
