cosmopolitan city in China. Today, this international metropolis is undergoing
an urban revival, quickly regaining its status as a sophisticated and fashionable
cultural center.
Shanghai history
Once known as "Paris of the East," Shanghai in the early 20th
century laid claim to the most glamorous, decadent and cultured
city in China—and all of Asia. After years of being closed off to
the rest of the world, Shanghai is rapidly regaining its reputation
as a cosmopolitan city. While Beijing remains the capital, the
center of politics, culture, information and academia, the world
knows Shanghai as China's financial center and a progressive
enterprising city open to new ideas.
