The project will be developed by property developer Hongkong Land, China Travel Service (Hong Kong) and West Bund, which is backed by the government of Shanghai’s Xuhui district.
“The cable car will facilitate transport between the Puxi area on the western bank of the Huangpu and Pudong on the eastern side, and can create a new level of excitement and adventure for both Shanghai locals and tourists from around the world,” Cao Liqiang, the party secretary of Xuhui district, told the Post on the sidelines of an investment promotion briefing held recently in Hong Kong.
The cable car project, called “The heart of Huangpu River”, will link the West Bund Financial Hub project in Xuhui district on the west bank with Expo Cultural Park located in the Houtan area of Pudong district.
“We are aiming to debut it in three years,” Cao said. “We hope the iconic project provides a further boost to West Bund Financial Hub and the entire Xuhui district.”
