It's generally held,at least by me,that a great city has to either have a river or be by the coast-think Sydney,Paris or Budapest.A body of water lifts the spirits,brings a breeze,breaks up the monotony of the buildings,and provides areas for recreation.It's why Shanghai's famous Huangpu River,with the Bund and its curve of old European buildings on one side,and the buzzing financial district of Liujiazui,home to several of the tallest buildings in China on the other,is one of the country's most popular tourist attractions.
