Shanghai
Shanghai is a city near the mouth of the Yangtze River in China.
The city is the largest in the People's Republic of China, and the seventh
largest in the world, with an estimated 18,670,000 people living in the metropolitan area as
2004.
During the Republic of China erea, Shanghai became one of the world's leading financial centers,
however following the communist takeover in
1949, the city was
cut-off from the world economy and went into relative decline. However, in
1992, the Chinese
government authorized the market-orientated redevelopment of the city, and Shanghai now leads
China's economic growth, ahead of early starters such as
Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Shanghai offers the adventurous tourist an across-the-board spectrum of the most activities imaginable, including sports centers, outdoor parks for peace and quiet, museums for both adults and children in mind, Buddhist temples, cultural and arts events and showplaces, and an array of malls and private shops that offer top, name-brand clothing, perfumes, accessories, and furnishings at reasonable prices.
You will also find ancient apothecaries where Chinese herbal remedies are still prepared and sold; an array of tree-lined streets that surround the city’s oldest mansions, galleries, and folk and antique shops that celebrate “Old Shanghai,” as well as the state-of-the-art business districts that focus on the burgeoning world of commerce and digital technology in this prominently positioned port city, perfectly situated for importing and exporting the world’s finest and latest goods and trends in fashion, food, entertainment, and luxury items.
Shanghai is without a doubt an absolute shopping paradise. In the 1930’s alone, four department stores opened in Shanghai, and today, the notable “Chinese No.1 Business Street” in Nanking East Road makes shopping a true event for visitors.
In more particular terms, All About Shanghai also describes the magnificent Oriental Pearl TV Tower, which serves as the emblem of Shanghai. The telescopes here constantly record the development history of Shanghai – as it is being made.
In addition, Jin Mao Tower is the highest building in China, with an impressive 88 floors, a fantastic place for viewing all of Shanghai, and the Shanghai Aquarium is a fascinating building of distinctive architecture. Shanghai Stadium can accommodate about 80,000 people and hosts many concerts, sports shows, and many other recreational events. You will enjoy and always feel comfortable in your “home away from home” in Shanghai, which boasts more than 30 international embassies and consulate offices.
