The Changning section runs from South to North along the outer ring road close to Hongqiao Airport. The Greenway then runs East to West along the Suzhou Creek starting with the new, specially-constructed Linkong Music Park running almost uninterrupted to the Waibaidu Bridge by The Bund.

There is a section along the Huangpu River which has pedestrian, cycling and mixed stretches.^[2]
