History of suhewan

Famous cities in the world often have one or two famous rivers crossing them. There are Seine River in Paris, Thames River in London, St Lawrence River in Montreal and Hudson River in new york ... These quietly flowing rivers not only nurture a city, but also add infinite scenery to it.

Shanghai also has such a mother river of its own-"Suhewan". The winding and rushing all the way gave birth to the early prosperity of Shanghai and witnessed its historical changes. When it flows through Wuzhen Road in Zhabei to Zhebei Road, Suhewan gracefully draws a beautiful arc of 1000 meters.

"Suhewan" is the vein of the development of national industry and commerce in Shanghai. At the beginning of last century, it became a gathering place of national capital and a distribution center of important materials in Shanghai. There are 17 banks and warehouses in Jincheng, Zhongnan, Salt Industry, Mainland China, Zhonggong and Zhejiang Xingye, which are known as the "Golden Corridor". There are also the first China Silk Factory and Rongshi No.1 Factory, the pioneer of national industry-Fuxin Flour Factory, and the famous "Tianhou Palace". The "Suhewan" in the 1920s and 1930s was once called "Riverside Scene on Qingming Festival" in Shanghai at that time.
