Old Shanghainese can still recall the heyday of Shiliupu Bus Terminal: "There are more than 40,000 passengers every day and more than 6.7 million passengers every year ... There is a queue to buy tickets ... There is an average flight every half hour during the day ... There are 1 3 ships on the Shanghai-Chongqing1route." Until more than a decade ago, roads, railways and aviation began to divert more and more passengers. Shiliupu Wharf has played a vital role in the modern development of Shanghai. For a long time, it has been the only node for the exchange of people, information, logistics and capital, and has gradually established the status of Shanghai as a shipping center.
