We visited Shanghai In November 2024.  Shanghai is one of the most important financial and commercial hubs in China and the world, serving as a key driver of China’s economy.  Its strategic location at the mouth of the Yangtze River has made it a crucial port city, facilitating international trade and maritime commerce.  As a cultural and historical center, it symbolizes China’s rapid modernization.  It plays a leading role in technology, innovation, and business, attracting multinational corporations and entrepreneurs.  Shanghai’s cosmopolitan environment fosters a rich cultural exchange, making it a bridge between China and the global community.
