Baoshan District is located in the north of Shanghai, reclining on the southern branch watercourse at the estuary of Yangtse River. The unique geographic position and superior port and railway transport have promoted the increasing soar of Baoshan's economy. Baoshan District, the ideal base and hinterland of industrial proliferation, is gradually becoming the largest centre of container manufacturing, storage and transport in the whole country and even the Far East.

There is also a ferry terminal which serves several destinations including the two hour ride to Chongming Island and the longer, 12 hour journey to the Buddhist island of Putuo Mountain.
