Shanghai
Shanghai is an amazing city, with a particular charm in the eyes of foreigners. It can happily combine ancient and modern, East and West, skyscrapers and shikumen, Chinese traditions and Western habits. Shanghai is the city where everything and the opposite of everything come together and miraculously they will agree to merge into a single entity that is precisely the spirit and charm of Shanghai. The old foreign colonization has left important foreign buildings (such as those of the famous Bund) and entire areas are still famous for their fusion with the West (such as the French Concession). Due to its history, Shanghai has developed an open, constructive attitude that allows it to achieve great results, even in the economic and business environment.
In Shanghai, the Chinese and foreign citizens understand each other much better than elsewhere. Here foreigners can live very well without feeling homesick. Perhaps also for this raison Shanghai was chosen recently to experiment the 'Free trade zone', an anticipation of the future Chinese economy. Shanghai is also internationally considered the economic capital of China. In fact, has been one of the main protagonists of the great economic development of China and is also the headquarters of the main Chinese stock market.
