Witness the MAGIC of Shanghai with Disneyland Park 

Explore Unique Hangzhou Plus Wuzhen Water Town

As the largest city in China and an economic, commercial and financial center, Shanghai is vital to the country's future. No other city in the country is more vibrant and fascinating or has such a unique colonial past. 

Shanghai, literally 'Above the Sea', is a port city on the Huangpu River, where the Yangtze River empties into the East China Sea. Originally a fishing and textiles town, the city gained its identity after it was opened to foreign powers by the 1842 Treaty of Nanking. The British, French, Americans, Germans, and Russians moved in, setting up their distinct Western-style banks, trading houses, and mansions, leaving a permanent architectural legacy. 

The city flourished as a cosmopolitan and thriving commercial and financial center, dubbed the "Pairs of the East" in 1920s and 1930s. In spite of being the cradle of Chinese Communism, the city was neglected during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. In 1990, it was chosen to spearhead modern China's reform and opening up, which resulted in intense development. In addition, the city has often been the inspiration for novels, films and cocktails. It is probably the most evocative city for an outsider to visit all of the country. Beijing may be more mysterious, but Shanghai offers half-understood, semi-mythical images.

Shanghai is always a fun to visit. The commerce river -  Huangpu River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, is lined up with a gallery of different architectures, known as the Bund, beckoning to curious visitors and smart locals alike. Although erected during different periods in varying styles such as Gothic, Romanesque or Baroque, those fifty-two buildings stand together in perfect harmony. When night falls, the two most famous - Bank of China Building and the Peace Hotel - are bathed in lavender lighting, and are the most telling witness to the past century of the Bund. 

Mansions, garden estates, clubs and cathedralsbuilt by Westerners a century ago are scattered throughout the city. There iseven a synagogue, built during the days of an unprecedented Jewish immigrationhere. Traditional treasures, though not so many as in Beijing, turns up on awalk through the chaotic old city: a teahouse, active temples, ancient pagodasand  quintessential southern-Chinese classic gardens such as the Yuyuan Garden.

Across the Huangpu River from the original settlement of Puxi is the city's future, the Pudong New Area. Its modern and ever-expanding skyline includes the emblematic Orient Pearl Tower, the highest observation decks in Asia, the soaring modern art-deco Jin Mao Tower and Shanghai Tower featuring the tallest building in China and the 2nd tallest building in the world by far.

I should say Shanghai is a magic land. It has turned itself from a poor fishing village on the bank of the East China Sea into a prosperous international metropolis which is regarded as “Oriental Paris”. Come to this land today, you can trace back hundreds years’ history of Shanghai and see the future of China and feel how magic this city is.
