Port Wusongkou is on the estuary of the Huangpu River, and functions as the Shanghai Port Terminal for domestic passengers, taking the place of 130-odd-year Shiliupu at the bund.

A transportation hub

The terminal serves as the water gateway to the city and a transportation hub, which is expected to drive development in the north of the city. The port will serve the regular routs that now run through Shiliupu Wharf, such as boats to Dalian of Northeast China's Liaoning Province, the Zhoushan Archipelago of neighboring Zhejiang Province, Shanghai's three islands of Chongming, Changxing and Hengsha, and cities along the Yangtze River. Disenbarked visitors to the city can be delivered to any part of the city via buses or taxis or to neighboring Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces via long-distance buses.
