Shanghai Travel Guide: Sightseeing, Hotel, Restaurant & Shopping Highlights Jason Russell

Shanghai means ?the city by the sea? and this Chinese city of superlatives is located on the Huangpu River on the east coast of China. The Huangpu River journies to the Yangtze River and divides Shanghai on its way. To the west is Puxi, the older part of the city. To the east is Pudong, a spectacular area of modern skyscrapers (including the Oriental Pearl Tower) developed from a flat green field to become ?Hong Kong-like? in just a decade during the 1990s.
