🇨🇳Shanghai
Often referred to as the "Paris of the East," Shanghai is a global hub of fashion, finance, and cuisine. The city’s Pudong skyline, with towering skyscrapers like the Shanghai Tower, symbolizes its rapid growth and modernization. Shanghai is also home to one of the world’s busiest ports, making it a vital center for global trade. Its traditional temples and gardens offer a peaceful contrast to the bustling metropolis, which is a blend of old and new in every sense.
