Where is the end of Wusong River?

At the end of Wusong River (estuary) is Huangpu River.

Wusong River, known as Songjiang or Wujiang in ancient times, is also known as Songling River and Lize River. It originates from the Hangjingkou of Taihu Lake south of Songling Town in Wujiang District, Suzhou City, crosses the Jiangnan Canal from west to east, and then flows into Huangpu River east of Waibaidu Bridge on the north side of Huangpu Park in Shanghai today.

Wusong River was originally the last tributary of the Yangtze River before it entered the sea, and the Yangtze River estuary was also called Wusongkou. After Huangpu captured Songkou in Ming Dynasty, Wusong River became a tributary of Huangpu, but the mouth of the Yangtze River was still called Wusongkou.

Wusong River flows through Wujiang, Suzhou, Kunshan, Jiading, Qingpu and Shanghai. Bounded by North xin jing, the upper reaches of Wusong River are called Wusong River by ordinary people, and the lower reaches of Wusong River are east of Beixinjing. After entering Shanghai, Shanghainese called it Suzhou River. Wusongjiang's nickname "Songjiang" is the naming source of Songjiang House, an ancient administrative building in Shanghai. Suzhou River gave birth to almost half of ancient Shanghai, and it took 100 years to become the water framework for building an international metropolis Shanghai. The lower reaches of Wusong River are called "Lake Capital", which is the naming source of Shanghai abbreviation.

Wusong River is an important shipping hub of Wudi. Wusong River is 125 km long, 54 km in Shanghai, with an average width of about 40 to 50 meters and a total drainage area of 855 square kilometers. This is a beautiful scenery.
