Suzhou Creek cruises set sail

Cruises returned to Suzhou Creek yesterday when two types of vessels went on a pilot run following an opening ceremony. Scheduled services resume today, following a year’s gap while the waterway was dredged. The 19-kilometer trip through downtown takes three hours. (Shanghai Daily)

The Shanghai Port International Cruise Terminal encompasses a massive 630 thousand square foot site in the very center of the bustling metropolis of Shanghai. It exists beneath a public park that forms its roof, thus conserving precious land for green, public use. Below rests a vast, underground, three-level concourse lit by a unique, earthform bridge forming a gateway to the city. (ArchDaily)
