Shanghai is a city in eastern China situated on the estuary of Yangtze River, near the Yangtze’s mouth to the East China Sea. It is the largest industrial city in China; the first, and later on most important, Chinese port to be open to Western trade; and China’s largest commercial and financial center. Along with this, it houses a vast population, drawing, for all these reasons, the attention of the whole world.
Shanghai is a faithful reflection of Shanghainese sense of style, detail, sophistication, expertise, and international outlook in an almost bizarre combination with long-held traditions. The splendor of the future blends with the grandeur of the past. Here lies the attraction of Shanghai, in the possibility of strolling its streets in an attempt to grasp the complexity of the city. It houses museums, historical sites, and scenic gardens, as well as huge motion-picture theaters, and parks to escape from the craze of the city. Shanghai is also home of China’s top and oldest universities, and scientific research.
Despite its status as the second city of the world’s oldest surviving ancient civilization, Shanghai surprises for its striking development and modernity. Hundreds of futuristic skyscrapers, cutting-edge restaurants, luxurious hotels, and vibrant entertainment centers have awarded Shanghai the title of the "world’s most happening city", according to Time magazine. For all this progress, Shanghai is now the cultural and economic heart of East Asia, where some of the most important international congresses, events and expositions have been taking place on regular basis.
