About Shanghai
Shanghai, the largest city in the People's Republic of China, is located on the Yangtze River in Eastern China. Since market restrictions were lifted, Shanghai has been a leading force in China's economic reform, embracing the forces of business and emerging as an international metropolis with both modern and traditional Chinese features. Shanghainese enjoy one of the highest standards of living in China. As one of the nation's most cultural, commercial, financial, and industrial centers, it's no surprise that Shanghai is preparing to host the 2010 World Expo.
