Shanghai is the most populous city in China (in terms of urban population). It is also one of the largest megacities in the world with more than twenty-three million inhabitants . It is located on the Huangpu River near the mouth of the Yangtze River, east of China.
The emergence of the city as a financial center of Asia-Pacific in the nineteenth century and twentieth century has made in pain,with the foreign occupation of the city for several decades. In the 1920s and 1930s, Shanghai has witnessed a great cultural flowering that has contributed greatly to the aura of myth and fantasy that is associated with the city since that time.
After the founding of the Republic of China and the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), the advent of the People's Republic of China has muted the city economically and culturally. It seems today that the city is poised to regain the place of financial center of Asia it was before. Its double-digit growth, the 18.9 million inhabitants of the region urbaine, transferring its cultural and cosmopolitan call to become a world metropolis,along side New York, London or Paris. It hosted the 2010 World Expo.
The most dynamic city in the world’s fastest- changing nation, Shanghai is an exhilarating, ever-morphing metropolis that isn’t just living China's dream, but is setting the pace for the rest of the world.
Shanghai is much more Hong Kong than Beijing; there are no dusty imperial palaces here. Instead, European-style city scapes and tempting, tree-lined neighbourhoods rub shoulders with the sci-fi skyline of Pǔdōng. Shanghai was where China first met the West and it’s still a frontier town, obsessed with the latest fads, fashions and technology.
But tucked between the shopping malls and the eye-popping modern architecture is the old Shanghai, where temples nestle down alleys, along with street markets and classical Chinese gardens. Shanghai is a city of stunning contrasts, where visitors can go from sipping a cocktail in a designer bar overlooking the Bund, to eating dumplings at a street stall, or gazing at a 10th-century Buddhist monastery, in the space of a few hours. Summer is hot and humid, winter can get cold, but Shanghai never stops.
