Shanghai is one of the most vibrant and international cities in China and a global financial and business hub that is firmly on the front line of China’s economic development. Shanghai has a long history that is reflected in its architecture, ranging from the French colonial buildings built in the mid-nineteenth century to the tall glitzy skyscrapers built in 1990’s in Pudong. A cultural centre with opera, its own distinct cuisines, bars and nightlife – Shanghai is the city to be in for ambitious entrepreneurs.
