The one-kilometer long bridge has been turned into an amazing place for entertainment and food. There are many places to eat, with a total of 40,000 square feet of indoor space. You'll also find kiosks and 11 different restaurants. They offer all kinds of yummy Pakistani and international foods, plus lots of drinks.
To make things even more exciting, you can even go on speedboat rides! These rides take you along China Creek. You can see the mangroves planted there, which are special trees that grow in saltwater. The people who run Port Grand hope these rides help everyone understand why it's important to protect mangroves and keep our oceans clean from pollution.
