It s naturally beautiful and located right at the end of Metro Line 10 in the city s northeastern Yangpu District. New Jiangwan City s name, which translates to estuary, stems from its location right by the Huangpu River. Real estate development started, and Fudan University extended its campus in the area. Back then, this place was like a gem in the city, Yao said. Now, there s residential buildings and shopping complexes. Before there were these buildings, many birds stopped by here on their migration path south. Now, there are fewer, said Yang Deqing, a lecturer at Fudan University s school of computer science and enthusiastic bird watcher. Though the campus has fewer people than a park would have, it s still an islet, and a few rows of tall buildings outside the campus have blocked the birds path, he said. There s two easily accessible locations to enjoy nature in Jiangwan City. One is the Fudan University campus, situated by a small creek and dotted with tree, while the other is the corridor along Zhengyue Road ( 政悦路 ), right across Jiangwan Road. (Source from China Daily)
