City Overview
Shanghai is China’s centre of commerce, industry and finance. It is also the biggest city on earth and has the distinction of a colonial past that is still evident today. Shanghai was the centre of European imperialism in mainland China but the arrival of the communists changed all that and Shanghai became run down, almost forgotten. Today Shangai pulsates with dreams and hopes of a future that the whole nation is embracing. This modern city is indeed one of the world's greatest capitals.

Daily Budget
Shanghai, like any other big city, has much to offer but you need to shop around for the best bargains, USD50 a day is OK.
