 Shanghai
Shanghai, with a population of more than 18 million (and over 5.8 million migrants), is one of the most populous and most developed cities in China. Shanghai was the largest and most prosperous city in the Far East during the 1930s, and remained the most developed city in Communist China. In the 1990s Shanghai again became an attractive spot for tourists worldwide. The city has a status equivalent to a province, and reports directly to the central government. It has Jiangsu province to the north and Zhejiang to the south, and includes the third largest island in Greater China - Chongming Island. Shanghai is China's largest city, its largest port and its largest industrial base. It has the best shops and restaurants in the country and the most fashionable people. It is called "the dragon head" of East China, the leading force driving the economy forward. |
