Station slated for Zhujiajiao Water
A new sightseeing
bus center is expected to be built in Zhujiajiao Water Town in
Shanghai's Qingpu District before the 2010 World Expo.
The center, near
the A9 highway, will occupy more than 123,000 square meters. It will
run buses to surrounding cities within two hours' drive of Shanghai,
such as Shaoxing, Ningbo and Wuxi. Buses will also run to downtown
Shanghai, said Zhujiajiao Tourism Development Co Ltd.
The center will
also connect scenic spots in Qingpu including the Oriental Land Park
and those in surrounding districts, such as Sheshan Hill National
Holiday Area in Songjiang District.
A parking lot
will hold 3,200 cars, 40 times larger than parking at the Shanghai
Sightseeing Bus Center beside Shanghai Stadium.
The bus center
said it has several branches in the city, such as in Yangpu and
Hongkou districts, but an official said it was too early to say
whether it will operate the bus center in Zhujiajiao.(CRI June 10,
