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.
You've been to Shanghai? Isn't home back in Canada like hick town compared to that gorgeous city?

A big Chinese city on the East Coast, next to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

Shanghai is famous for being a word which means kidnapping.
It is also famous for having mainland China's most expensive taxis and whores, lots of bars and many many tall buildings.

The traditional food in Shanghai is oily and sweet, and many people say it tastes like dog shit. Luckily there are many great restaurants featuring food from other places.

Shanghai people are notorious for being rude and Shanghai men also have a reputation for being a bit girly. At a push the average Shanghai guy weighs in at about 48kg which makes it a great place to go for a fight! Watch out though, a recent scrap outside the Guangdi nightclub saw quite a few Western folks outnumbered and running with their tail between their legs. Better luck next time eh!

Shanghai is definitely the most happening city in China at the moment, with an emerging live music scene, lots of parties and concerts and a promising outlook on the property front.
Moron: Hey I'm going to Taipei!
Everyone else: Really, I hear that Taipei is a slurry ridden shit pit for people who can't hack the pace of Shanghai city life...
Moron: Yeah that's right, you've been there?
Everyone else: No fear! I wouldn't touch Taipei with a pointed stick.

The honourable, graceful city which is soon going to outpace New York. Its quality of education , especially in junior and senior high schools, is unparalleled. And behold, this will pay off later on.
Guy A: Some people believe that China in 21st century will be analogous to the Germany of the late 19th century.
Guy B: Yeah, and Shanghai is the new Prussia.
