Located in the middle point of China's coastline from north to south,
Shanghai is not only the largest port city on the Chinese mainland, but
also boasts the third biggest port worldwide as well as the world's most
famous port. The city owns the only passenger wharf in China which has
the functions of sea shipping, river shipping and inner river shipping.
Shanghai has developed ocean passenger shipping lines with Inchon and
Busan ( Pusan ) in Korea as well as Osaka and Kobe in Japan. From
Shanghai, the international passenger and cargo ships can leave for more
than 400 harbors in over 160 countries. As the city's important
gateway, Shanghai port is also the pivot for passenger shipping in East
China, for the passenger ships could go up through the Yangtze River to
the important city of Jiujiang, Wuhan and Chongqing and also could go
along the coast to the city of Qingdao, Dalian and Ningbo . Shanghai
port now is consisted of Shi Liu Pu Passenger Transportation Terminal,
Gongping Road Passenger Transportation Terminal, and International
Passenger Transportation Terminal.
