With over 23 million inhabitants, Shanghai is the economic, financial and industrial center of China. This Asian metropolis boasts an architecture filled with futuristic buildings, wide streets, neon colored lights, and of course many leisure and entertainment options. Bathed by the Pacific Ocean and cut by the Huangpu River, the city is divided into two major regions: the west side, called the Bund, represents old Shanghai, home to the historical sights, the best restaurants and the nightlife. Already in the east, sits Pudong, the new area and financial center of the city. It is well worth visiting Shanghai, one of the most sought-after cities in China and perhaps in Asia as a whole.
