Pudong is a district of Shanghai located on the east bank of the Huangpu River in China. The name originally referred specifically to the land directly across from Puxi, which serves as the city's historic center. Today, the term refers to the broader Pudong New Area.
The Pudong New Area is a state-level new area that extends toward the East China Sea. It represents a significant geographic and administrative expansion of Shanghai's urban landscape beyond its traditional core.
