About
Shanghai is a city that has experienced phenomenal growth. A new city has sprung up across the Huangpu river in Pudong, a focus for foreign investment and futuristic architecture. Yet on the Bund the city’s past is still very much in evidence, while in the crowded streets and shopping malls there is an unabashed enthusiasm for consumerism and a great capacity to enjoy whatever life has to offer. In Shanghai, everyone dreams of making a fortune, or at least of a better life.
