LOCATION
As the largest city in China and an economic, commercial and financial center, Shanghai is vital to the country’s future. No other city in the country is more vibrant and fascinating, or has such a unique colonial past. Easily China’s richest city and the leading trendsetter in fashion, design and the arts, Shanghai is the best city in the country for dining and shopping (see www.travelchinaguide.com/). The cost of living in Shanghai is significantly lower that major US cities, such as New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Boston.
