Yangpu and Nanpu Bridges are the No.1, No.3 Cable suspension bridge
in the world by thier span lengths, respectively.
In recent years the government has made much efforts in improving Shanghai's
infrastructure construction, especially with emphasis on easing the traffic
situation. The establishment of the two great bridges over the Huangpu
River, the inner and outer ring roads, and many overpasses, and the metro-subway
radically changed the city's outlook.
Shanghai is also a city full of historic sites and tourist attractions. The below is
