Shanghai

Shanghai is a major city in China and serves as the country's principal financial and commercial hub. Located on the central coast of eastern China at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is the most populous urban area in the country, with a population exceeding 24-million people in its metropolitan area. Shanghai is a global financial centre and a key node in international trade, hosting the world's busiest container port by cargo tonnage. The city is home to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, one of the largest stock exchanges globally by market capitalisation, and the Shanghai Gold Exchange, the world's largest physical gold exchange by trading volume. Its economy is driven by finance, manufacturing, technology, shipping and trade, with particular strength in automotive production, electronics, petrochemicals and steel. Shanghai is divided into several districts, including the historic Bund waterfront and the modern Pudong financial district, which features the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower. The city plays a central role in China's economic policy and serves as a testing ground for financial reforms and free-trade zones. Shanghai has been a major commercial centre since the nineteenth century, when it emerged as a treaty port, and it regained prominence following China's economic liberalisation in the late twentieth century.
