Shanghai has a new river: Yongfu Lu

So how about that rain, huh? At around 1pm today, the heavens above Shanghai suddenly opened up and poured its heart out, not stopping in intensity for the next two hours. It seems to have slowed to a drizzle now (thankfully), but not before creating a brand new river for the city… right in the heart of the French Concession.

Yep, that’s Yongfu Lu you’re looking at. We guess that if you were planning to go to JZ Club tonight, you’d better invest in a boat.
