Why travel to Shanghai?

Visiting a lot of places in China I must talk about Shanghai First. Historically enriched Shanghai is one of the most populous cities of “The People’s Republic of China” Shanghai, which means the “City on the Sea,” lies on the Yangzi River, the East China coast. This cosmopolitan city described that never sleeps. It’s a place where historical buildings and towering skyscrapers sit side by side. Shanghai is a major international commercial pivot, one of the world’s most important centers for business and economics, research, science and technology, manufacturing, transportation, tourism, art, culture, and finance.

Mainly Shanghai grew in importance in the 19th century due to European recognition of its favorable port location and economic potential. The Shanghai Port holds the title of the globe’s most active container port. In 2023, the container throughput of Shanghai Port approached 49.16 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), ranking first in the world for the 14th consecutive year and the Shanghai Port achieved global dominance, accounting for 3.6 percent of the total trade volume worldwide. Shanghai is a special province-level city in China, like Beijing, Tianjin, and Chongqing. It is also called the “Paris of the East”. Its total area is 6341 km or 2,448 square miles.

Impressive Shanghai City has two operating international airports: Pudong International Airport (Shanghai Pudong International Airport) and Hongqiao International Airport (Shanghai Hongqiao Guoji Jichang). Shanghai is also an emerging tourist destination, with a profound modern urban cultural heritage and numerous historical monuments, Landmarks like the Bund, Xintiandi in Puxi, Nanjing Road, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Yu Garden & Bazaar, Zhujiajiao Water Town, Shanghai Disneyland and many more.

When I talk about Shanghai I must say Shanghai is beautiful and more dazzling at night than during the day. I heard some people mention Shanghai as a ‘’Wonder City’’, though I didn’t know the reason for calling it so. After getting a night tour of Lujiazui in Shanghai, I understood why Shanghai is called the "Wonder City". Shanghai represents the beauty of old and modern mingled together. I explore that Shanghai is more gorgeous, dashing, and attractive at night than in the daytime. The brightness of neon lights of different colors turns Shanghai City sparking and radiant. At night the most beautiful place in Shanghai is Lujiazui. While you walk on the pedestrian bridge of Lijiazui you will think of the tall buildings like the Oriental Pearl Tower, and Shanghai Tower getting up from the ground. Modern high-rise skyscrapers are lit up in all the colors of the rainbow and old Baroque-styled buildings are in a classic sophisticated color of gold. The colorful bright light reflects into the Huangpu River and makes a confusing and dizzy scene , which makes people feel a sense of charm in this bright and colorful city.
