About Shanghai

Shanghai is situated on the bank of the Yangtze River Delta, with East Sea in the east and Hangzhou delta in the south. Housing a population of over 16 million at present, it was once a small town supported by fishing and weaving before the first Opium War. Late in 1990, the central government started developing the area, and has since become the well-known booming metropolis city. Huangpu River, the biggest river in Shanghai, divides Shanghai in Puxi Area and Pudong Area.
