Shanghai is a special city in every respect. Only 50 years ago, it was still considered one of the most important metropolises of the world, as the trading and banking center of Asia.

The best motherfucking city in the WORLD! The New York City of Asia, one of the richest, most advanced and modern city in the world, with a beautiful skyline, breathtaking at night, especially the bund area(with British influenced architecture). Home of the Oriental Pearl tv tower and the JingMao skyscrapper; one of the tallest buildings in the world. A great city to shop. Also biggist city in China, better than HongKong. Although Shanghainess people are known for their rudeness, it's only because they are PROUD of their city (they damn right should be), and others are just JEALOUS.
