industrial and commercial center of China, is
located in the middle of the coast of the Chinese
mainland andon the Southern shore of the Yangtze
River estuary.
The famous Huangpu River flows
through Shanghai, which is in the possession
of a host of historical scenes and sights that
testify to the city's modern-time glory as a
national commercial and financial center. Shanghai
was the first Chinese port to be opened to Western
trade, and it long dominated the nation's commerce.
Catering and entertainment

of Shanghai. The land of Shanghai is studded
with restaurants, including age-old eateries,
fast food chain stores, and snack bars with
a distinct local flavor. While famous dishes
from every major school of Chinese cooking are
served in one restaurant or another, the epicurean

Major Attractions |
|
|
| Shanghai
is a modern and fast paced city, rich
in history, culture and with a wealth
of areas and sites just waiting to
be explored. One of the nicest aspects
of Shanghai is that the crowds here
are much more manageable than in a
city like Beijing. This is largely
because there are no great ancient
sites which people flock to. Rather,
this is a city to be walked, wandered,
explored and discovered in your own
time and, in your own style. |

The
land of Shanghai is studded with restaurants,
including age-old eateries, fast food chain
stores, and snack bars with a distinct local
flavor. While famous dishes from every major
school of Chinese cooking are served in
one restaurant or another, the epicurean
paradise of Shanghai also has a vast assortment
of restaurants serving French, Italian,
German, Russian, American, Japanese and
southeastern Asian haute cuisine. But despite
all this, the local culinary scene is naturally
dominated by the Shanghai School of cooking,
whose chefs are choosy about the ingredients
and stop at nothing to home their cooking
techniques, resulting in dazzling array
of delicacies that can be found only in
the water-bound country south of the Yangtze.
The food streets at Huanghe Road, Yunnan
Road and Zhapu Road are favorites with visitors.
