A City Reflects All
Shanghai is always modern. Collision and blend of east and west were and are happening in this city and people can't wait to blend in this tide. This city sometimes makes you feel unbearable not only because of the steel and concrete but also it will not allow any slack in the high speed towards the future. However, it will also suddenly show a warm side. The condensation of the city's past makes roads intoxicating to linger. Too many people love and hate Shanghai, but that's why the city is attracted.
Shanghai is the biggest metropolis in China and has a unique oriental charm in western people’s eyes but attracts eastern people because of the western style in it. Shanghai is doing well in letting state-of-the-art skyscrapers become part of the city and most important it remains the old parts and give its new meaning and idea. Those old parts of Shanghai has all the elements that China attracts the world - precious cultural relics in Shanghai Museum, mouthwatering food in Chenghuang Temple, elegant craftsmanship in Yuyuan Market, interesting local life in Nongtang, Super fancy Shanghai Acrobatics Show and the image of an old and new China along both sides of The Bund.
