The Qingpu District, shaped into land in 5,000 B.C. and inhabited by its ancestors 6,000 years ago, boasts a long history. The ancestors labored and lived on this land, giving birth to a gorgeous civilization. Qingpu is the earliest human habitat in Shanghai thanks to the Songze Culture, a typical ancient culture during the Neolithic Period in the Taihu Lake area. Qingpu County, established in 1542, the 21st year of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, was revoked on 16 September 1999 when the Qingpu District was set up upon approval by the State Council, with the administrative division unchanged. The Qingpu People’s Government of Shanghai Municipality was founded in due form on 12 January 2000.
Location - Qingpu, located at east longitudes from 120°53' to 121°17' and north latitudes from 30°59' to 31°16', lies in the western suburbs of Shanghai, the lower reaches of the Taihu Lake and the upper reaches of the Huangpu River. It adjoins Minhang District on the east and borders Songjiang District and Jinshan District of Shanghai as well as Jiashan County of Zhejiang Province to the south. It borders Wujiang and Kunshan of Jiangsu Province in the west and is connected with Jiading District on the north.
Area - The total area of Qingpu is 669.77 km2, or one-tenth the total of Shanghai. Among them, the water area is 124.49 km2, or 18.6% of the district’s total. In Qingpu lies the largest freshwater lake in Shanghai, the Dianshan Lake, crossing the Qingpu District of Shanghai and Kunshan of Zhejiang Province, with a total area of about 62 km2, among which 75.3% or 46.7 km2are in Qingpu.
Topography - Like a butterfly, Qingpu District, with wide terrain in its east and west wings, is narrow in the central area. The land is flat at an altitude of 2.8 - 3.5 meters.
Climate - Mild and humid, Qingpu belongs to the northern subtropical monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons, abundant sunshine, ample rainfall and long frost-free period. In 2006, the average temperature was 17.6°C. The mean temperature in January was the lowest at about 5.6°C, while that in August is the highest at about 29.8°C.
