About Shanghai
Skyscrapers sprouted from farmland in single generation, creating largest city China ever built. Maglev train reaches airport at 430 kilometers per hour. French Concession preserves European architecture from colonial days. Stock exchange moves billions daily through Communist Party-approved channels. Dialect differs enough from Mandarin that communication challenges persist.
