Description	The foreign community in Shangahi enjoyed a rowing club from 1863 to 1940, situated just off the Bund near the old British Consulate. Regattas were held in the Wangpo River and at Henli, a magical summer retreat 40 miles inland on Soochow Creek. Our rowing historian Chris Dodd went back during the Beijing Olympics to kick over the traces of an institution that was once the centre of social life in old Shanghai.
