The largest city in China and one of the five super cities of the world, Shanghai is a coastal opening city as well as a famous historic and cultural one, laying in the middle of China's mainland coastline and Yangtze River's entrance to the sea - it's also one of ten world's largest seaports and an important hub of communications.
Shanghai is endowed with favorable geographical and natural conditions, and a long history of development. It has a well-developed commodity economy and comparatively high scientific and technological level with an easy access to the outside world by all means of transport.
Today Shanghai continues to grow with new underground stations, highways, crisscrossing the city, the most modern stock exchange in the world, a swish new airport, two giant brides and a whole new city in Pudong. Perhaps no city in the world is as futuristic, and Shanghai is the very symbol of China's rise to economic powerhouse status.
