Shanghai, the bustling financial hub of China, boasts a staggering population of over 24.1 million. Therefore, making it the world’s most populous city. As a vital player in global trade, it hosts the world’s busiest container port, reflecting its status as a superpower engaged in ongoing trade with the world.
Having risen to prominence during trade with the West in the 1930s, Shanghai faced trade restrictions under communist rule in 1949. However, with China’s economic reform in the 1990s, the city once again embraced international trade, leading to a boom in manufacturing and increased wealth among the rich and middle class.
The iconic waterfront, known as the Bund, showcases a juxtaposition of colonial-era buildings and modern skyscrapers, dominated by landmarks like the 632 Shanghai Tower and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Despite the omnipresent CCTV cameras, the nighttime view is nothing short of futuristic.
While Shanghai may seem impersonal due to its sheer volume of people, engaging with locals reveals a friendly and helpful community. Explore the local markets, such as Tian Zi Fang, A.P. Plaza Yinyang Market, and Yuyuan Old Street, offering a taste of authentic China. For avid shoppers, the city presents a plethora of high-end and budget-friendly options in mega shopping malls like the IFC Mall.
Shanghai offers diverse experiences, from historic walking areas and ancient ruins to nature parks and theme parks, including Disneyland, Happy Valley, Renmin Park, and Thames Town. And, for those interested in the vibrant LGBTQ+ scene, Shanghai has a growing and welcoming community that adds an extra layer of excitement to the city’s diverse offerings.
