Shanghai is the largest and most prosperous city in China. With the location on the east of Center China, Shanghai is a coastal city (the name itself means "on the sea"), but one which also lies at the mouth of a sizeable river: the Huangpu River. The Yangtze River itself empties into the sea just north of Shanghai. Indeed, the entire region of Shanghai - Hangzhou is characterized by water, with several larger and smaller rivers as well as ponds and lakes, of which West Lake is the most renowned. Though not the capital, Shanghai is China's most populous city, with over 20 million inhabitants, which also puts Shanghai on the world map as one of the world's largest cities in terms of population.
Taking advantage of the booming world trade after China's opening towards the West,... [ View Details ]

"So so!"
baho said at 2011-4-13 8:10:00

The business capital of China. Amazing city and worth a visit, but I would not recommend to stay there a long time (2-3 days is enough). There is no harmony like in most other Chinese cities, some original Shanghaian do not like the 'new generation' and you can feel it.

"Expensive and Little to See"
184.154.116.* said at 2010-11-17 21:09:00

I'm sorry but I hate Shanghai. The polution is terrible. When I'm out on the street for half a day or more I have to take a shower because it makes my skin itch. It also coats your tongue and throat. If I stay on the street for too long I suffer from really bad headaches.
Also, everything is sooooo expensive here. You pay at least double what you would pay in the US or Europe for items of lesser quality.
The metro is only good if you are using the lines that take you to tourist attractions or the expo. Other lines are horrible. It takes ten minutes just to walk from one platform to the other in order to transfer. Also, the majority of people live far away from metro stations. We find that going anywhere in the city in the city outside of our immediate neighborood takes over 45 minutes to an hour.
There is also little to see in this city if you are a tourist. You can do it all in about a day.
I would skip a trip to Shanghai and I actually live here.

I love Shanghai! Living with a Chinese woman, I get to experience both the customs and modern Shanghaian life. Open yourself to the little shops and restaurants, and you won't only have another experience than every tourist has, but you'll also get away really cheap... I'm eating out twice a day and still paying less than in my home country cooking for myself at home! think about it...

Everything in the city is so expensive, eating, staying and shopping. China's money-printing mint must near because of the high proportation of bills in circulation per day.
