Lying on the west bank of the Pacific Ocean, the east edge of Asian continent and the tip of the Yangtze River delta, Shanghai is a fair leap port strategically well-located. Shanghai is one of China's largest economic centers and a city of historical and cultural relics. It has three islands in its territory: Chongming, Changxing and Hengsha Island with Chongming Island as China's third largest island.

Known as "Shanghai-style culture", the Shanghai Culture has gradually taken shape from integrating China's traditional culture of Jiangnan (Wu Culture) as its historical basis with European and American cultures, which were introduced since the opening of Shanghai and had far-reaching effects. Thus, the Shanghai Culture is ancient and modern, traditional and trend, open and unique.

Since reform and opening up, Shanghai has hosted several large-scale cultural activities and built up a number of national-class cultural facilities, including the Shanghai Grand Theatre, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Library, Shanghai Movie Center. Shanghai has a lot of places of attraction such as Xintiandi, Nanjing Road, and Yu Garden well-known to visitors at home and abroad. Buildings in Shanghai are a big attraction as well. The Bund, Shanghai Shikumen houses as well as modern facilities in Shanghai style, as the convergence of various ancient and modern architectural styles, are a product of integration of the native Shanghai culture and foreign cultures.
